Recently, there’s been a surge of interest in a particular period of Nike Basketball’s history, prompting the brand to reintroduce some of its most iconic designs from that era. Alongside celebrated models like the Air Foamposite One and Air Flightposite One, Nike just re-released the Nike Air Max Uptempo “Mystic Teal” in March 2025.

About the Nike Air Max Uptempo “Mystic Teal”

This Nike Air Max Uptempo “Mystic Teal” holds a special place in history as the first Nike basketball shoe to feature a visible, full-length Max Air unit. What was once a groundbreaking innovation in cushioning is now a symbol of retro style. Its robust silhouette, classic white and black palette, and vibrant teal accent on the air unit perfectly capture the essence of the mid-1990s—a golden age for Nike design.

While the Nike Air Max Uptempo “Mystic Teal” isn’t exclusively tied to a single player, Scottie Pippen is often associated with the Uptempo line. However, during its initial release in late 1995 and early 1996, its popularity spanned from professional NBA players to amateur players.

Release Details

The Nike Air Max Uptempo “Mystic Teal” launches on 9 March 2025. The shoe will be available at select retailers, including Nike SNKRS at 10AM (ET), with an RRP of US$165.
