The LA flair with the pair at hand is communicated easily with a wrap-around leather mudguard and Swoosh in yellow, outlined with royal purple that continues in branding hits throughout the shoe. Basketball fanatics will note that this was the first on-court product to utilize full-length Air cushioning, a genuine breakthrough considering that tech’s history for the Swoosh.
By some accounts, you can count this “Lakers” edition of the Air Max Uptempo as an “OG,” first debuted by Derek Fisher, not Scottie Pippen, in the early 2000s. Of course, the silhouette is most readily connected with #33, an association that Nike has leaned into in its latest retro efforts by reviving the original Bulls look, both in 2019 and earlier in 2025. For completionists and die-hard fans of the model, there’s still plenty to look forward to with the Air Max Uptempo 95, expected to deliver a black and volt colorway this Holiday season.
