I hope they do a grey leather upper with orange outsole for the aussie tournament. But damn. **** the exclusiveness. 10 + pairs? :x

Given the buzz that surrounded the U.S. Open ATC2s the past week, you would think they would have limited it to 1 pair per customer.
 
Got my size and called it a day... A damn shame people were buying 10+ pairs. Yes 10+...

Damn 10+ pairs?! Niketown allows that BS, especially on a limited release? What time did you go and pick up your pair Mr100?

Is it confirmed that NTNY is completely sold out now?
 
Completely sold out. I randomly went yesterday after I struck out at Mercer.. They had some small sizes today but they were gone by noon. This release was a mess, the resellers truly won while everyone worked since it was a weekday..

I think the orange outsole will be more suitable for the "French Open" Challenge to match the clay courts. Let's hope the "Australian Open" Challenge isn't the bland green and gold.

Hey guys. This is my first time posting on niketalk.

My question is, would you say that these run true to your usual size in Nike or do they run big/small? Thanks.

Dang so you're saying they run small and aren't true to size to your usual size in Nikes?
 
McEnroe wore them at least. The only reason I said that is because I wanted to quell everyone's rage about it. I mean I wasn't happy about it either, but this makes me a lot less upset about it. Honestly, I was copping regardless haha. I was just glad Nike was nice enough to retro them.

Also I know it is easy to hate on Nike, but maybe they had some legitimate reason for doing this? IF they were putting the ATC III outsole on them for the professional players, that must have meant there was some advantage to those soles that the regular ones did not offer. That's just my two cents.
Yeah, I hear ya.  I guess those PE's might "justify" it for Nike, but for me, personally, it wasn't something I had, it wasn't something I saw growing-up... so naturally, it's not something I want now.  

I wouldn't say it's "hate" on Nike... I think it's the frustration cuz we've seen them do really good/proper retros of other models.  Perhaps it was a fit issue?  Or better performance?  Who knows... but at the same time, I'm guessing these won't be a part of Nike Tennis' performance line (Probably NSW or just Nike).  They probably won't be having their 2nd tier players wear these (unless the request it maybe?).  They already have 3 models/lines for all their players anyway.

For me I'm a true sz 11 in like 90% of nikes but my lavas from 08 were tight in an 11 so I went up to an 11.5...dunno if. These new Wimbledon and US open tech challenges fit more true or if they're the same as the 08 retro

Like I said, I completely understand. Nike retros the ATC II and III very well, but then makes the hybrids (the true abomination) and switches up with these....

I have also had this question about the ATC III, but why wasn't the smoldering ball on the back of the shoe? Was it a problem with the branding of the challenge court series?

I don't think anyone knows the answer as to why the didn't use the burning ball logo. It clearly wasn't a branding or rights issue since the were using it on t-shirts. A bad mistake on Nike's part by not using it.
