im sure it will be the same with the tarts sooner or later.

 

[jdmfanatic]

True in SF has these for any Bay Area heads. (Tarts)

B Fresco--


Good looks, homie!

Need to stop through Major anyway.

 

[blackredxiiigoat]

I seen em at a local hood spot out in Newark earlier this week...look pretty nice, didnt cop though...

 

[freshkicks95]

Just bought 2 pairs from pys at $189 shipped. I'll get a third pair later whenever they go on sale.

 

[superblytrife]

Dudes jumpin' the gun on the Tarts are damn fools, or money isn't an issue. Personally, while I can afford a pair at retail, why would I when I knowI'll be able to get a discount?

History has shown wait it out, and you'll get a nice discount.

 

[briannnnn]

There is one spot I saw that already put the Tarts on sale. Or they wised up and charged under MSRP because the Hot Lavas haven't been moving.

 

[jumpdriver]

BUY NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so that other colorways have the potential of being released!

 

[illustrayt]

I saw them in person yesterday, and I like them, but I'll wait 'til they go on sale...

 

[makeyoohfamous]

For those in Chi, the Tarts are at St. Alfred for retail, but tax is a %!$+$ in this damn city!

 

[airuphere23]

The tarts are decent. I can't knock em but I'm not too sure I wanna cop these at this point. I copped 2 pairs of the hot lava joints last month andthose to me overshadow this colorway hands down. Too much other heat to worry about this month and next for me to be too concerned with these. If I can cop fora discount then I'll do it. If not...it's cool.

 

[corwinator3407]

For those salty about the first Leaders hat release (myself included), Ty said they got another hat for the Tarts. Not the same hat, but a different one withthe Tarts in mind.

 

[bootleg ed]

i just realized how big this thread is....

this was a *major* release...

maybe i just don't get it...?

 

[kapepper]

indeed major release...finally a good retro

 

[bootleg ed]

This is KIND of a performance issue so forgive me:

i play a LOT of tennis these days

currently i'm using Zoom Turf (barry's) and it works real well...

would i notice a difference for the better in a pair like these?

 

[Sinner]

well... if you do play a lot of tennis and want to take it more seriously, I'd suggest you to get proper tennis shoes, such as the Air Zoom Vapor 5 or theAir Max Breathe Cage 2... these air tech challenges won't have the durability as they are considered to be a 'Sport Culture' shoe (basically, itsmore for looks rather than performance)... the OG's had Durathane outsoles, while these don't...

I'm not sure about the Barry's, but how do the 'beaded' outsoles hold up on hard courts, in terms of durability and traction?

as I said, go for the new tennis shoes... they offer great durability (Air Max Breathe Cages offer a 6-month outsole guarantee), great comfort and decentsupport...

 

[da hen]

Zoom Vapor is the best modern shoe for tennis. Me personally, I love the Air Oscillate, the old sampras shoe. Try a pair out, ebay or the tennis warehouse hasthem.

 

[Sinner]

I prefer Cages myself, but the good thing is that the different models cater to different preferences... I have flat-feet, so the Oscillates won't work forme, but no doubt those are classics...

Well, the barry's outsole has been performing great, but i'm having a lot of movement in the front of the shoe thats hurting my big toes....I'llhave to look for some legit tennis shoes soon.


Thanks, btw.

i would imagine those nubs on the sanders' would wear down quickly on a hard surface. Having grown up playing competitively I would advise against playingseriously in anything other than actual tennis shoes.

Nike Air Oscillates....joint best tennis shoe EVER

 

[jacobmontana]

Is there anyway someone could post all of the Original Agassi Model releases in Chronological order?
This would be super useful for me.
I dont need every single colorway.
Just a representation of each model.
Thanks!
