The Orlando Magic-Friendly Nike Air Max Uptempo 95 'Photo Blue' to Return Fall 2025

The oft-forgotten Nike Air Max Uptempo 95 is expected to return in its iconic Orlando Magic-friendly colorway throughout Fall 2025.

The news, shared by Romania's Sneaker Market, arrives off the heels of several celebrated moves from Nike Basketball – including the announcement of A'ja Wilson's first signature model, the Nike A'One, and the Wale-approved G.T. Future. 'White' takes over the bulk of the old school hoops model, but rich 'Photo Blue' animates swoosh logos and pull tabs across the upper. The robust mudguard deviates in a simple 'Black' finish that allows the components above and below it to revel in the spotlight.

Akin to its last appearance in 2019, the Air Max Uptempo 95 features plump visible Air units underfoot, harkening back to the golden age of Nike Basketball. Lifestyle and performance-running offerings over the last year have revisited the revolutionary technology to deliver a reliable piece of history to longtime and new consumers alike.

Enjoy official photos of the pair from six years ago ahead, and expect the 'Photo Blue' retro to hit Nike.com by October in an identical build.
