OFFICIAL AGASSI RETRO THREAD - Challenge Court tee surfaces

@J0e Musashi  Which retailers had the "Military Blue Sude"?, always wanted a pair, but every asian website since like they are selling fakes

 

I know they had them available officially in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

 

Seems like everyone in here that got them went through Taobao, iirc.

 

These?  I never saw these here in HK...

Unless they were some Tier-Zero-Quickstrike that never saw the light of day cuz of resellers. 

 

A friend of mine was on holiday there, and she told me they were available. I'd have taken her up on the offer, but she always throws the boxes away to fit them into her suitcase so I didn't bother.

 

I'm with you. I remember when every tournament would decide a new #1, now there are 2-5 relevant players in the world (maybe exaggerating, but still drastically different than 85-2000.)

I'm almost positive this has been discussed, but all the requests for OG Agassi gear made me think of Blake's tribute a few years back. Was this a vintage fit or did Nike make him a small set of retro gear? I'm guessing the latter...Lycra doesn't hold up that well over time.

 

I always wondered the same about the "fat bar" Hot Lava tribute polo that JB wore...

 

Yeah that was sweet. Was that ever available at retail?

 

Ah, so makes sense why they kept churning out the ATC 2's in diff cw's but doesn't make sense why they are releasing more III's soon. More confident in the sale this time around maybe.

 

It was new stuff. That's why it was slightly different. Unfortunately not available to anyone else. Well Andre likely got it, but it certainly wasn't available to buy.

 

Never seen the volt denims iii or the grey suede ii in anything except sample form/size 9. Anyone have a pair who could post pics?

 

Agree that "fat bar" polo never made retail. I tried hard to find any extras at the time. None available

As for t shirts, I dabbled with the older logo for my company:

I am too afraid to make one bearing the words challenge court on the logo. It was easy though. I made the design myself and uploaded to redbubble.com. Only the design placed on a white or gray came out well. The ink didn't look good on a darker colored tee

 

Cheers

Tell us about the black lava!!! Pretty please!!

 

Jaja. You're making me blush with all of this praise.

TBH the "Black Lava" aren't worth worrying about. Especially if you don't own them. You likely will NEVER find a pair for sale, and they aren't that different to "Hot Lava", which is (without doubt as a whole) our most favourite shoe of all time. The "Reverse Burst" for me are the greatest of all Tech Challenge II's. You can instantly spot the differences (providing you are an Agassi head), and they are SO much better than "Orange Burst". That model is what I call "Clay".

Here's a stock photo of them.

 

I also made this one for my daughter who wanted one like mine

This shirt was a limited release in my house.

 

^thats dope, and cute daughter

 

Gold 3's chilling on ndc

Word! Thanks for that- don't think I'd seen these before.

I wouldn't say I'm an Agassi head as such- loved him growing up and my first ever pair of nikes were the cerise/grape atc iv's- can't wait for the retro.

Still play in 08 lavas (social only these days)
✌🏻️

 

these atc 4s can't come fast enough, imo,

 

$150! Wondering how limited these are? Don't even think it matters at this point, BUT the guy on the livchat on NDC said they are at "Low Quantities" BUT, I see that happen with sneakers AND gear when they are first listed on the site, it's up in low quantities, disappears and then pops back up in a week fully stocked like they got their main shipment in.

 

I like to live on the edge, so i'm not sure what i'm doing yet lol
