Boys' Nike Uptempo

Donned by a new generation of players with the height of a big man on the block and the speed and elusiveness of a guard – the Uptempo helped define a new, eye-catching shoe for the most versatile players. Legendary names like Scottie Pippen or Penny Hardaway are perfect examples of the next generation of basketball that ultimately changed the way basketball lineups were structured, largely thanks to their unique blend of speed and size. With a 1996 debut, the Nike Air More Uptempo and its fleet of eye-popping colorways could be seen on the feet of both of these basketball icons and many others in the league through the ‘90s.
