Air Agassi

Came across these old ads and had to put them up.  Here's one of the first shoes Nike did with Andre Agassi, the Air Tech Challenge 1.. and when they came out they were everywhere, seems like there were more of these on feet, than cars in the street



Dig that matching spandex underwear?  Don't worry, Nike's got it covered, just check your local sports store.


Then came the Air Tech Challenge II


and matching gear


Agassi had quite a few other sneakers with Nike, there's a good rundown here http://www.nicekicks.com/2011/07/love-game-andre-agassis-10-best-kicks/  that's good for a few laughs.  But in 2009, they released the Air Tech Challenge Hybrid shown here


These inspired New Era to drop some hats to match, but some things are best left in the past.

I hate to go to far on my man Andre here, but I can't help it.. he's like the Kenny G of Tennis




All jokes aside though Andre was killing it in the 90s.  I probably wouldn't wear them now, but I would've been one happy kid with any of those shoes back then.  The decades were turning and neon was everywhere, you couldn't escape it..  I was talking with my girlfriend about an old windbreaker I had that was neon green, black and pink, and she said "neon pink?"  I said yeah, it was cool back then.. for guys or girls.  Looking back now I really don't know how, but hey it was the 90s right?
