90’s basketball continues to serve as a focal point for upcoming Nike initiatives as so reflected by news of the forthcoming return of the Foamposite One Anthracite, as well as the official retro of the Air Penny 3.
And it seems as though the Swoosh team has been further digging into their archives because we’re now learning that they’re slated to bring back yet another retro hoops silhouette this year – the Air Total Max Uptempo. The 1997 icon which was once closely associated with legendary sharpshooter Reggie Miller, is expected to return to the market in an array of colorways, one being this OG two-toned makeup last saw a release in 2009. Based off of newly surfaced official imagery, we find that most of the real estate from the tumbled leather side walls to the nubuck throat overlays are dyed in a stark black, but the pair is spruced up with vibrant energy through the volt accents that stand out through the Swooshes, full-length Air units, and tongue logos. Keep it locked as we learn more of their official release date on Nike.com, and note that they will retail for $190 a pop.
In other news, here’s an exclusive look at the upcoming Sean Cliver Nike SB Dunk Low collab.
Updated 11/30/20: The Nike Air Total Max Uptempo will release on December 10th, 2020.
