‘Magic’ Nike Air Max Uptempo 95 release August 2025

No other footwear company was touching Nike during the 1990’s in terms of design and innovation and 30 years after the fact, those same designs are once again gaining popularity as fashion trends continue to cycle. Set for a 30th anniversary of their own, the people over at Nike will be bringing back the iconic Nike Air Max Uptempo 95 silhouette once again in a number of upcoming retro colorways.

The Nike Air Max Uptempo made history in 1995 as the first Nike sneaker to feature a visible full-length air unit throughout the sole. Not only does the shoe look great with its high-top, chunky design, but they’re also one of the more comfortable basketball shoes ever made. This made them a huge selling point for athletic big men at the time, favored by legends like Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, and Scottie Pippen.

As Nike brings back the silhouette within the next few months, we should be seeing OG colorways return for the most part with a few new looks. This upcoming “Photo Blue” release is often linked to the Orlando Magic for their perfectly-matched color scheme.
