The All-Star Weekend festivities may be over, but Nike Sportswear still has a bunch of heat that was unveiled in New Orleans last week opening up for a more general release this Saturday, February 25th. Perhaps the most unexpected drop was the Nike Air Max Uptempo University Blue “All-Star” Pack, a trio that took the infamous Uptempo series to task with a lifestyle suede rendition on each classic 90s basketball model.
The North Carolina-esque rendition furthered Nike Sportswear’s recent retro obsession with upgrading the performance silhouette into a more lifestyle-ready context, and the Nike Air Max Uptempo, the Nike Air Max2 Uptempo, and the Nike Air Max Uptempo 97 all benefited from the clean look.
Select Asian retailers are already reporting a Saturday release with other stateside shops looking to drop the Uptempo “All-Star” Pack on February 25th as well. Be on the lookout for this Uptempo trio to arrive at Nike.com soon as well.
