Tennis is dead guys. Didn't you know that already?

Frustratingly Nike rarely retros any of their tennis shoes. They just release the same pair of 90 or 92 Agassiā€™s in different colorways. Last yr was a total shock they retroā€™d the Oscillates.

There are so many good models in the Agassi line they could retro or even consider doing to ā€œKobe protroā€ treatment. The Air Zoom Pounce and Challenge LWP would be great models to remake with upgrades.

The Nike Air Court Motion was one of my all time favorite models that Iā€™d love to see come back.

Yeah we got a lot of ATC2s for a while to the point it was obnoxious. Then we finally get the ATC3 (my favorite) at the same time the Sampras Oscillate came out. We had a few color ways of the 3 which were good but we also had many samples that never made it to market. Finally we get 1 OG colorway ATC4 and it wasnā€™t even a stateside release. The other 2 colorways barely made it to market. In fact that grey orange 4 didnā€™t even make it to the EU. Crazy.

Oh donā€™t forget that plastic Air Flare release.
 
If they release the Zoom Courtposite in the original yellow and black colorways, I could die happy.

I still actually have my pair of those (all anthracite/black) and honestly, I hated playing in them lol. The courtposite was a much stiffer, much heavier, and less breathable version of the Air Court Implosions, which were my goto shoe back in my middle school tennis days. I feel so old now. Not my pic, but I had these:

I'd happily buy a retro of these, but I don't think they're coming unfortunately

I freaking LOVED these shoes!! By the time they released, I was already well out of high school (95) and was playing 3-5 times a week with my Jr hi/hs friend who was also on the team with me (he was better but we had epic battles and I'd get a win here and there). Absolutely loved these on court! Never felt so confident in my movements in a shoe! I played in them all (Challenge Huarache, Future, Alarm, Zoom Challenge 1 & 2, loved the 1, Assailant (great fit and stability) Pounce (great fast shoe. Felt like a track spike shoe for the court) Ablaze (stupid comfortable) and Zoom Beyond and Beyond Plus (the Beyond in the white/black color way he wore to win the French was my 2nd favorite shoe. May have looked chunky but the vis-zoom was amazing and super stabile and was faster & lighter than it looked).

I only dream of Nike bringing back an actual mid-cut tennis shoe. I still don't get why NO ONE sells one? I just bought the Vapor X as I've decided to get back into playing after over 13 years off but I just loved having a mid to keep my mind from thinking of possibly turning an ankle. Can't wait to try the X out with my Lobster I bought off eBay locally (I have no one to hit with and figured a preowned good ball machine would be a great way to get back into shape).

I like the idea one guy had on here for Nike to make an Agassi Protro in an old shoe of his but update the tech! Would be a brilliant idea but they don't seem to care. I know it would sell to the diehard Nike tennis peeps that I see on TT on TW. I may give the Zoom Zero a try once I find the right color of them (wish they would just release the black/lava ones Tiafoe playtested early this year).

Zoom courtposite looks sick. That should come back.
The court lite looks like it will breaj after one match.
 
Should be an interesting Fed /nick match after todayā€™s umpire coaching debacle and feds remarks about it.
Iā€™m assuming this is a night match lol
 
Rafa is through. Just wearing plain white shorts instead of the ones when the paintbrush stripe lol
And same cages. Thatā€™s good for my wallet !!
Good showing by kachanov though
