nike ruckel air force rose et blanc gold | nike ruckel Is Bringing Back This Original Colorway Of The Air Max Uptempo

While 1987 was the year shades Air Max was born, 1995 is when it took its full form. In shades year alone, nike ruckel introduced a series of Air Max footwear of epic proportions, spanning several sports categories to synchronize a full Air takeover of the brand. It’s not a surprise shades 1995 is often referred to as one of the best years in Swoosh history, and one lunaracer of shades success is the Air Max Uptempo.

The Uptempo footwear line was formed in 1994 as a performance solution for those who perfectly combined the power and finesse game. In fact, it was Chicago Bulls superstar Scottie Pippen who directly inspired nike ruckel to create this hybrid style, and by late 1995 the Air Max Uptempo was revealed – the first shoe with heel-to-toe visible Air. No disrespect to the Air Max 95 running shoe, but this one boasted way more encapsulated Air!

By 1996 the Air Max Uptempo was in full swing, worn by the likes of Scottie, Chris Webber, Kevin Garnett, Mitch Richmond, and several other NBA stars. It was also a mainstay among the NCAA ranks, running on the feet of college hoops legends Tim Duncan, Miles Simon, and Ray Allen. The true “OG” colorway of this model is undoubtedly the white/black/teal version, but this equally important version worn by several Chicago Bulls during shades epic 72-10 run holds as much esteem (if only nike ruckel kept it truly original with the red Air units). It appears shades nike ruckel is bringing the Air Max Uptempo back as a whole once more, so stay tuned for these to hit stores soon.
