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

The iconic shoe Those from the 90s may remember the Nike Air Uptempo as the signature shoes of Scottie Pippen from the Chicago Bulls. However, there's more to these shoes than their relevance to a well-known professional athlete.

Keeping the exaggerated, graffiti-styled "AIR" graphics and full-length Nike Air cushioning you love from the original, your favourite hoops look gets transformed into slides you can easily slip on and off.

In its most recent bid to break away from the nation's largest shoe retailers and focus on direct-to-consumer sales, Nike has officially cut ties with Foot Locker, making many of the brand's popular shoes increasingly harder to find.
