Nike introduced the Air Uptempo in early 1995 giving basketball players a new option to choose from. Shortly after that, also in 1995, Nike introduced the Nike Air Max 2 Uptempo combining the high-top basketball aesthetics of the Air Uptempo with their new Air Max 2 technology using Air units for better cushioning. The bold and brash Nike Air Max 2 Uptempo became famous for its US college coverage such as Duke or through Ray Allen at UCONN.
This University Blue colorway brings that 90`s feeling back to the street and fits right into the theme combining a flashy blue with a white midsole on top of the visible Air unit.
