So did he wear these in Wimbledon when he played? Or are these just colorways to commemorate his Wimbledon dominance

No, he first played there in 1987, where I believe he might have worn the Air Trainer 1's there.  He skipped a few years and didn't return until 1991, where he showed up in an all-white ATC 3.  He won the tournament the following year in the white/grey/blue Air Challenge Huarache.  He made the semis a few more times and the final once after that, but never won it again.  

The only slam he wore the ATC 2's in was the 1991 French Open.

Is it bad that I'm tryna play in some ATCIIs? If I got the turbo greens for $70 I woulda balled in them. Gonna get a pair of the huaraches to play in too once they go down in price more.

If you're looking for performance from these, you should probably limit your expectations cuz these won't match up to the performance, comfort and durability of current Nike Tennis shoes.  Having said that, if you got a pair for cheap, why not?

Yes... and I wanna say the OG Air Flares too cuz of the reverse Swoosh.

Yeah I'm not expecting too much outta these performance wise. Just wondering if they would last me more than 5 matches. Wouldn't really mind too much about durability if I got them for the low tho cause I just think it'd be pretty cool playing in these. I loved playing in the air trainer 1s but I tore those up pretty quickly.

These look pretty new, are these the 2014 release or did the og have that nike tag?

I think those are the 06/07 retro.  The OG's had a backwards-Swoosh, while the 2000 retro had the Agassi "A" on the tongue tab.  The 06/07 retro did come with the Nike tag. 
 
I have played a few sessions in Lavas. I'm no club player so they were ok hoofing it around the court for me but I did find them a bit hot and heavy. My advice would be get vapor tours every time for playing in. Lighter cooler and comfier. You can id a lava pair

congrats J0e and curio - wimbledons looking good!

how do they look with the grey laces?  seems all the photos online are either the green SBs or the plain white flats

Thanks man. There aren't any grey laces though. You get the dark green and white and also light green, which are the same colour as the wings and collar. I might put those ones in actually.

I'm just amazed at how strong of a following this line has. It might be a generational thing, a lot of dudes who grew up in the 80s and 90s love this style of clothing. And also, I feel like Agassi was sort of a rebel in Tennis with the way he dressed. Tennis, like golf, has always been a somewhat of a conservative type of sport and I guess he broke that mold.

Definitely generational for me. Tech's were THE shoes to have when I was a kid. The retro's are no where near as popular as J's, which I like. There is too much Jordan saturation for me now, and I've begun selling them off as I'm not really digging wearing them anymore. Other than 88's, I'm sticking with Challenge Court's. I'm really looking forward to the Flare's, and I hope we do get IV's at some point too.
 
These Wimbledon 2's are more comfortable than the other SP's. They're cooler on feet, and are definitely lighter than the others too. Perhaps it's the TecTuff. They're my favourite pair now.
