The Uptempo 95 was worn by many of the top NBA stars of its era, namely Scottie Pippen of the Bulls. This “Photo Blue” colorway has historically been likened to Orlando Magic colors, which is rather ironic considering Orlando beat Chicago in the 1995 Eastern Conference Semifinals. The titular “Photo Blue” color appears on the Swoosh logos and pull tabs, while a white leather upper clashes with a black mudguard. The Air Max Uptempo 95 featured one of the biggest visible Air units ever upon hitting shelves, here presented in white with black accent lines just above.
The Nike Air Max Uptempo 95 “Photo Blue” aka “Orlando” releases August 7th via Nike and retailers; scroll back up to our Where To Buy section for purchase links.
