Released in 1997, the Air Max Uptempo from Nike made quite a statement with its notable feature - the largest Air cushioning unit ever seen in a Nike basketball sneaker. Fast forward almost two decades later, the iconic high top silhouette was brought back in a classic black and white design. Crafted with a suede upper and mesh material on the tongue, this retro edition exhibits a striking oversized midsole adorned with four prominent black 'jewels'. Positioned on each side of a small Swoosh, these jewels are showcased above a full-length Max Air unit, adding a touch of elegance to this timeless sneaker.
