AIR MAX UPTEMPO '97
UNIVERSITY BLUE
On its debut, the '97 Uptempo featured more Nike Air cushioning than any shoe that came before—and more brash mid-nineties styling, too. Its bold curves and gleaming teardrop accents made it a favorite among the era's hoops legends. Now, to celebrate its twentieth birthday, the legend hits the streets in University Blue—with all its classic flourishes intact.
