And yes, it was as stiff and uncomfortable as everyone says. Do not need retro, please give some AZCs, Pounce, LWPs.

We're big Agassi fans... and not everyone may care as much as us... so I get it... It's not for everyone. But what really doesn't make sense is why they would, of all the Nike Tennis shoes, decide to retro the Courtposites. A shoe, from what I can remember, wasn't worn by many pros at the time. And I can still remember ppl on TT as well commenting on how they were heavy, stiff and lacked breathability.
Why??? Cuz they were a 'posite' shoe??? The Implosions, despite likely end up sitting on shelves, would have made more sense. At least they had some pros wearing them at the time.

I absolutely LOVED my black Implosions! One of the best shoes I ever played in. Played so much I actually wore a hole in the toe and (regretted after the fact) threw them out. Such an awesome shoe.

LWPs, all 4 OG colors. The Pounce in Lemon Zest would be awesome! And the OG Zoom Challenge with the blue carbon heel wrap!

Based? Because of my love of Agassi? Whatever!

Just so you know, these were NOT a good shoe. These came out the same time as the Zoom Implosion. Another Niketalk member wrote a great synopsis. These are a heavier, bulkier version with ZERO breathability! But they release because "Foamposite". GMAB!

These will die on the shelf and then Nike will say to the other higher ups, "see retro Agassi shoes don't sell" scrap the LWP, scrap the Futures, etc". But let's retro 54 colors of Jordan 1s, which are all sitting now. Seeing the Mac Attack sell so well should show Nike that retro tennis WILL SELL!!! I can almost guarantee that if they released the OG ATC VI, in the OG colors, (Cerise, Marina, Kiwi, the black/white LEs), they will sell extremely well if not sell out! If they actually got off their high horse and retroed the Air Tech Challenge 1, which MANY have been asking forever for, in both OG colors with the original logo, even with a air window midsole, it will sell out!! But hell, what do I know!!

Calm down man, I said based because you're right, I'm also angry for every outrageous thing that Nike relaunches, the Mac attack sold like hot cakes and imagine if it wasn't a limited edition

As someone who wasted $$$$ on all four pairs of the Courtposites and plays regularly those were terrible shoes. They were stiff, terrible arch support and generally uncomfortable to play in.

Yep, giant steps were what you took, walkin’ on the moon.

better pics of the fall rafa

What shoes and socks release with these and when? Or is it a PE?

 

[niktatos]

Count me in for Air Tech Challenge 1 retro.

 

[davkarimz]

Pre-Uso, Red-mint I imagine is for day session and Dark green for night

I would have to imagine this is for the hard court swing time? So expect a release week 1 of August?

Can we assume that these colors will line up with the womens all red Vapor 11 and possibly the all green mens vapor 11? Possible?

I gotcha! With all the new slang and stuff, thought "based* was a negative. Yeah, they could have chosen SO MANY other shoes.

Yup, a shoe we have been asking for, for literally decades. And I wouldn't give a damn if they had the II midsole with the visible air. If it made us actually get a pair, I'm fine with it.

Ugh. I was trying to deduce information on the vapor 11 colors that haven't been released yet as no one has said a release date for it. Guess I can't assume anything

Adidas USO

Normally speaking, I don't like Adidas but the Zverev kit is really nice!

 

[SammySpitz]

Agree

 

[papado]

Perhaps I'm mis-remembering from my youth and their performance, but does anyone else want the original breathe free to retro? The II (air max as opposed to zoom) are great as well but something about these I always loved:

Pretty clean. he's already back out on the practice courts?

 

[illhistorical]

What is Andy Murray wearing right now vs Tsitsipas? They look like Under Armour, and I didn't think UA made tennis shoes.

PE just for him by UA. Not sure why they never made them available to the public.

They were too narrow for me, but I loved the look of them.

The clothes were never available either when he was head to toe UA(?) I wonder if those are just his old stock. Wasn’t he wearing ASICS at some point

 

[Sinner]

Wasn’t he wearing ASICS at some point

I don't recall if this ever happened. Maybe he practiced in a pair? But don't think ever in a match.
