The Nike Air Max Uptempo 95 “NY vs. NY” Releases Soon

Nike continues to shine a light on New York City’s iconic summer hoops scene with the upcoming release of the Nike Air Max Uptempo 95 “NY vs. NY.” A staple silhouette from the '90s basketball archives, the Uptempo 95 gets a bold update to honor the legendary NY vs. NY streetball tournament — a battle of borough pride and pure playground skill.

This special edition arrives in a slick black and white color scheme, with vivid blue swoosh under the oversized white Swoosh delivering a pop of energy to the pair. Glossy black detailing across the upper adds contrast and depth, while the signature full-length visible Air unit underfoot comes tinted in blue to match the accents.

Set to drop alongside a matching Air Force 1 Low, this release serves as a celebration of grassroots basketball at its grittiest and most authentic.

The Nike Air Max Uptempo 95 “NY vs. NY” is expected to release soon on Nike.com/SNKRS and select retailers. Make sure to keep your eyes on our official twitter for further updates.
