NIKE AIR TECH CHALLENGE II

May 22nd, 2008

I can’t say I wanted these when they first came out because like a lot of people, I didn’t watch pansy ass tennis players in 1989, I watched basketball! Actually, that’s a lie, I was four years old. I watched ninja turtles, and if I saw these I would have wanted them. All technicalities aside, this is a sick pair of sneakers and Nike was wise to retro them.

Learning from the mistakes of the 2007 release of the Nike Air Tech Challenge I, where too many “slight” modifications were made to the model, Nike chose to keep this pair as true to the original as possible. The only major difference with this release being that it does not feature any Agassi graphics, as he is no longer sponsored by Nike.

And click here to check out an O.G. pair spotted in a 1989 Nike Air commercial I found. I’m not sure if it’s the same colourway as shown above or just a very similar one. Either way, not bad, but I’ll take the hot lavas over those any day.
