Nike Air Total Max Uptempo OG Release Information

For fans of late ’90s basketball, the Nike Air Total Max Uptempo is THAT shoe.

Underrated and overpriced, the big bubble b-ball shoe worn by the likes of David Robinson, Reggie Miller and Vince Carter carried a balance of tech, luxury and loudness that’s rarely matched.

Originally released in 1997 and last seen in Black/Volt form in 2009, the shoe is apparently set for a comeback.
