Nike Retro Air Tech Challenge

Well, KDAY1580 from NikeTalk dropped a bomb on the board yesterday.  He confirmed that the two original colorways of the Air Tech Challenge by Nike will be releasing in spring 2007. In April, the white/yellow/black colorway is coming and June we’ll see the  white/orange/royal color release.   These shoes were part of the Agassi signature line and ad campaign by Nike back in the 90’s.  Agassi has just announced that he will retire after this year’s US Open, so these are coming just shortly after, and are probably the most popular of his signature line from the 90’s.  On a side note it’s pretty ridiculous that not more than three years ago you could scoop up a pair of these for less than $50 EASILY, then one day RetroKid goes and posts up his Agassi collection, a buzz started up and now they don’t go for any less than $250.  Man the good ol’ days weren’t so long ago.

The pictures above are of the originals, not the retros.  There are no samples available of the retro yet, but the Agassi logo will be replaced by a tennis ball.
