Additionally, Nike created these shoes for versatile players who stand over 6'5”, like Reggie Miller, Penny Hardaway, and Scottie Pippen. Eventually, Uptempos became known as the perfect shoes for vertical players who require more cushioning, speed, and stability.

The Uptempo series made its debut in 1995 with the Air Uptempo.

Fit: In general, the Nike Air More Uptempo fits perfectly true to size (TTS) and will mould perfectly to your foot. Comfort: The Uptempo features a Nike Air midsole so it's very comfortable and can be worn all day long both on or off the court.

Made to look and feel like a basketball, printed details on the insole and an included key ring celebrate your love of hoops. The real and synthetic leather adds a throwback feel that's durable and supportive. The Max Air unit provides big cushioning with every step, helping these kicks live up to their name.
