Nike is continuing its "12 Soles" Collection with another Air Max Uptempo Pack in the "Urban Haze" colorway. While the full tonal Nubuck and Sail white soles give the silhouette a modern streetwear look, it was OG colorways that ruled the court in the '90s.

Introduced 1995, the Nike Air Max Uptempo was the first sneaker that used a full-length visible Air Max unit. The release was followed up wit the Air Max Uptempo 2, which was popularized by the 1994-1995 Duke Blue Devils basketball team and pros like Chris Webber. The Air Max Uptempo 3, now recognized as the Uptempo 97, continued to dominate the courts being worn by basketball legends like Scottie Pippen.

Nike Air Max Uptempo "Urban Haze" Pack releases on December 20, but check out the original colorways that paved the way for the retros.
