Releasing this weekend in celebration of He Got Game, the wildly authentic Spike Lee film that burst onto the silver screen in 1998, is Nike’s Air Max Uptempo 97.

Coupled with the Air Jordan 13 “He Got Game” that also famously appeared in the film and will drop this Saturday as well, originally touted as the Air Max Uptempo 3, this original colorway of the newly dubbed Air Max Uptempo 97 is a flashback to ’90s hoops past. Worn by Scottie Pippen, Reggie Miller, Mitch Richmond and a host of stellar collegiate athletes of their time.
