Nike Air Max Uptempo 2 Urban Haze release date, specs and latest news: basketball classics now out

After a month-long wait, the highly anticipated reissue of the Nike Air Max Uptempo 2 with the modish Urban Haze colorway has finally hit Nike stores.

The shoe giant teased the Nike Air Max Uptempo 2 Urban Haze as "a hoops classic makes a comeback." The familiar elements fans know and love remain but with an extra stylish finish to boot.

The Nike Air Max Uptempo 2 Urban Haze sports a premium khaki nubuck and has suede and synthetic leather for the upper, catering to both durability and comfort at the same time. The design is completed with a contrasting white sole.

"Featuring a web lacing system and heel Air-Sole unit, the Nike Air Max Uptempo 2 Men's Shoe offers the stability and lightweight cushioning that made the original a basketball staple," Nike describes the shoe on its website.

The Nike Air Max Uptempo 2 Urban Haze both works for those looking for performance and lifestyle, making it an all-around shoe to rock.

The web first caught wind of the release of the Nike Air Max Uptempo 2 Urban Haze last month. Ever since, the waiting game for the ever-elusive reissue shoes was at a high.

After all, it is rare for Nike to bring back classics like the Uptempo. The last refresh of the line was from June last year so fans will be happy to know that they can now snag a pair of the Nike Air Max Uptempo 2 Urban Haze in time for Christmas.

Available to cop for $140, the Nike Air Max Uptempo 2 Urban Haze is part of the "12 Soles" collection consisting of classic and new basketball shoes, which Nike set put together in time for the Christmas season.

A black and white colorway of the Nike Air Max Uptempo 2 is also available for the same price of $140. Shoppers can visit the Nike website to buy.
