Once worn by Scottie Pippen during the 1995 NBA season, the Nike Air Max Uptempo 95 is making its return in a few Chicago Bulls color options. This new flavor would be a perfect match for the Red Bulls jerseys Pippen was rocking while shutting opponents down. Different from the OG, this pair features Red leather across the upper while Black runs across the mudguard, tongue, down the eyestays, heel and rubber outsole. White is placed on the laces, Air and Swoosh logos to finish the look.
