The Nike Air Max Uptempo OG "Mystic Teal" is Making a Comeback in 2025

Sneaker enthusiasts, get ready for a blast from the past! Nike is bringing back the iconic Air Max Uptempo OG in the classic "Mystic Teal" colorway, set to release in March 2025.



The Air Max Uptempo holds an important place in Nike's history as the first-ever basketball shoe to feature a full-length visible Air unit. When it debuted in 1995, it was touted as having "the most Air cushioning we've ever put into a sole," quickly becoming a hit both on and off the court.


The Uptempo series went on to spawn other legendary silhouettes like the Air Max Uptempo 97 and the iconic Air More Uptempo. But it's the original "Mystic Teal" colorway that's making a highly anticipated return next year.


This exact pair was featured in Nike's unforgettable phone ad series, further cementing its status as a true icon. The 2025 retro will stay true to the OG design, featuring a white leather upper with black accents and the signature teal hits throughout.


According to the information provided, the Nike Air Max Uptempo "Mystic Teal" is expected to launch on March 9, 2025, for a retail price of $165. Nike is also planning to drop the Air Max Uptempo "Lakers" colorway later this year, so there's plenty of Uptempo goodness in store for fans of the classic hoops silhouette.


With Nike's focus on reviving basketball icons to regain the attention of sneakerheads, the return of the Air Max Uptempo OG is sure to generate a lot of excitement in the community. Sneakerheads who missed out on the original release or want to add this piece of Nike history to their collection should mark their calendars for the March 2025 launch.
