If there's one thing that ESPN Fab Five documentary did, it brought back memories of 90s Nike Basketball sneakers, an era where the brand seemingly couldn't miss. Set to return this holiday season is the classic Nike Air Max Uptempo 2, which debuted during the 1994-1995 basketball season. The shoe was famously spotted on the feet of many members of the Duke Blue Devils basketball team, and ironically, on the feet of Chris Webber in the pros. Probably the colorway people remember the most is this "Duke" make-up, which is slated to hit stores sometime in December.
The shoe features a white leather and black nubuck upper with blue mesh filling in the toebox, along the side panels, up through the ankle and the tongue. Black and white team up on the midsole, while royal blue borders a volt-colored Max Air unit. Black, white and yellow rubber finish off the look below.
As of now, you can expect to see this colorway of the Air Max Uptempo 2 in stores in December, with other colorways arriving in November. Retail will be $130. If you're interested in picking a pair up early, MarqueeSole has a decent size run on hand now.
