You technically can't call it a comeback if it's been here for years, but Scottie Pippen's Nike Air Max Uptempo 95 "Bulls" is, indeed, making a comeback for the 2025 NBA Finals.
While it still remains to be seen which two teams will be competing for the ultimate prize, we do know for sure this silhouette is dropping on June 5, which gives hoops fans and sneakerheads something to look forward to. This shoe, in-particular, hasn't been seen since 2019, and it makes its way back in an elaborate "Bull" colorway, which features a white upper with black overlays. White laces provide the contrast, and two red Nike swooshes can be spotted on the sides. A slightly chunky rubber base completes the silhouette, providing optimal performance support, durability and traction.
Meanwhile, there's also a lightweight Max Air unit, which the brand says provides cushioning and impact absorption. Plus, there's a Phylon foam midsole for flexibility. Set for a retail price of $150, the shoe will be available via Nike and select retailers in adult sizes.

Speaking of the 1990s Chicago Bulls, it was also recently announced that Michael Jordan (yes, thee Michael Jordan) will be joining NBC Sports for their comeback basketball coverage this fall. Confirmed earlier this week by both NBC and Jordan, the legendary Hall of Famer is set to become a special contributor to NBC's NBA coverage.
The announcement came with the message, "A legendary addition to our team! We’re thrilled to welcome Michael Jordan as a special contributor to the NBA on NBC and Peacock," and will be the first time Jordan has ever had television role covering the NBA in any capacity.
