words // Darren Griffin:
Re-emerging from the depths of 1996 for a retro run almost twenty years later, the Nike Air Max Uptempo continues its new lifespan with another strong release from its storied past. The Nike Air Max Uptempo “Black” has nostalgic Nike Basketball DNA dripping from its mid cut frame. Encapsulating a full length Air Unit – a first for Nike at the time – this black pair that denotes leather and suede construction marks a critical turning point for Nike, one that saw the brand take significant leaps ahead of its competition in the basketball market that they continue to lead today. The foundational Nike Air Uptempo “Black” is available now overseas. Keep your fingers crossed that they wind up stateside in the very near future.
