Retro Classic // Dennis & Scottie In The Nike Air Way Up

August 15th 2012 | 115 comments

words // Nick DePaula

With news that the Nike Air Way Up is on its way back for Spring '13, thankfully in the two Bulls-worn colorways above, what better time to look back on several classic photos of the shoes in action for their intended use.

While seemingly everyone in the league wore the Way Up during the 95-96 season, it was the Chicago Bulls who were embarking on a record-setting 72-10 season, and it was Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman who rocked the iconically blocked sneaker throughout the first half of the year.

Check out Pip and Worm on the hardwood below, and pay close attention to all of the Way Up cameos from their nightly opponents too, from the likes of Vlade and Horace Grant even. Think of the Concord XI sightings as an added bonus too.

Nice pics, okay kicks.
Its a nice way to try and sell some old school sneakers, but I'm not really feeling these right here. They got a good reason to be retro'd though seeing as how Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman helped MJ get a 72-10 record while wearing these. I think it would be a good idea to retro them if Pippen and Rodman were wearing these during the Championship and won. Now that would make a great retro kick.
