Nike’s celebration of the NYvsNY streetball tournament, which the brand started in 2017, covers multiple sneaker models year in and year out. For 2025, The Swoosh has prepped a new rendition of the Air Force 1 Low, a Nike Ja 3, and a brand-new Air Max Uptempo 95 colorway, receiving official imagery.
It may seem a little odd that the Air Max Uptempo 95, which has fallen to the wayside in recent years, is getting a colorway honoring the NYC-based streetball tournament, but considering this year marks the sneaker's 30th birthday, it makes more sense. Unlike the AF1 in the collection, the pair opts for a two-tone white and black color palette for its upper, accented by blue and mint green pops.
