I've never understood why they get so precious with the Challenge Court stuff, seems a no brainer to just release one top and one bottom each slam or each year even that relates to a famous release. The 2020 line was a bit wild with all the different options, would be fine just to have one to...
Hard to say any of the current Nike's are outright comfortable. The most comfortable available would be the Challenge 1, but having used them they were midsole comfy but lacked performance in lockdown and in the upper (toe box was a little strange for me). The V11 I've used a bunch and they are...
That display is amazing, great trio of shoes. Never to got own ANY of them, these were all right before I could start working and buying my own shoes. But had the Resistance II, Alarm and everything after. I did get to use the second generation of the Max2 Spa (or is the one above in the display...
No pilling on the knit, and it's definitely a mesh dri-fit material, just thicker than anything Nike's put out for court or running. Only pilling is on the sweatband material that the pocket is made of, you don't see it from the outside, but that material pills just as it's very fluffy and...
I have a few items from the Nishikori line from around 2019 and they've been pretty good.
These black with blue trim shorts:
And this polo:
The shorts I wear to play in now and then, they are more soft knitted material and the pocket has sweatband material in side, so over all it's a bit...
Also trying to figure what they would do with a AM95 SB, maybe they will dump the upper on a current SB sole? (Force 58? Vertebrae? Ishod looks kinda 90s?) Might look like the Federer x 95: upper on a stability sole with Zoom.
Hmmm, the retail version of the Cage 4 in this color is a better homage than Rafa's PE, which just looks like a mostly black Cage 3. Would have been cool if they could have split up the color on the cage material on the 3 to mimic the 50/50 of the original.
Kinda weird color blocking, I don't mind it, just always odd when it's a printed color section that big and not a seam/piece. Kinda reminds me of the CB 4.3.
I still have this crew in the white and light blue, they've held up pretty well, the collars are a bit wrinkly. Great materials and the sphere inserts are cool.
Agreed, I feel like that shoe is more of a nod to a Courier or Mac outfit from late 80s early 90s, which really doesn't make sense other than dipping into historical Nike designs and not specifically Agassi. I can't find specifics of what I'm thinking it would match other than some of Jim...
Looks like Invincible 3 (DR2615-002) Blk/wht general release avail currently on NDC - although the pic above looks a bit navy blue the sole fade detailing doesn't match the navy. I love this shoe for walking around, not sure if runners find it too cushioning, BUT the retail colors have been...
That AZCII page is amazing. I don't think East Bay ever really put the whole collection on one page. Pretty legendary shoe and outfit even if it hit when Andre was at his lowest. I vividly remember Moya's AUS97 run to the finals, he started unseeded wearing the original AZC and a standard white...
These were good, a friend on the high school team had the launch color. The weird thing was the 'picks' outriggers, they never looked liked the photos in the ads (the ads were very much photoshopped-painted), I remember them just being solid color plastic/TPU and not the spotted pattern, kinda...
Correct, debuted at end of 1989, then he played all of first half of 1990 in ATC II: Lipton/KeyBiscayne in March then into the French Open in May. The MiZappas guy in his Agassi shoe book says he played the French Open in a PE with the ATC II upper with an Air Trainer 1 mid/outsole which is...
Nothing new here but, tennis players are extremely ritualistic and superstitious, not all but most. Everything from rackets, shoes, socks, court assignments, water bottles, towel usage, wiping sweat before they serve, etc. Google “Rafa Water bottles” and see how he sets them up and even a few of...
