Turned 43 today with birthday 8/30/81 and loved Agassi as a kid. Tried for them right away at 10am and couldn’t hit off SNKRS or undefeated. Too old to try and get shoes from my day and can’t afford aftermarket. Thanks world
I'm 47 I vividly remember these shoes releasing when I was a kid and I would love to have purchased a pair of these but like you said It's generally not even worth trying to get.
This is the first pair of sneakers that I broke my “no reseller” rule for. Did I pay almost double? Yes. Did this review make me feel a little better about that? Also yes.
Brutal release on these, not paying $300 resell… Hopefully they drop them a second time like they did the Attacks. If not I’ll try in 5-10 years when they drop again.
These would’ve literally been sitting in Nike outlets within a month or so if it wasn’t for resellers creating unnecessary demand and scarcity. I hate resellers with a passion, they ruined everything about buying sneakers 🤦♂️ what’s even worse is that you rarely see anyone wear these shoes in person, it’s just a bunch of clowns buying up every shoe and holding them and if they do wear them it’s usually a small amount of times so they won’t get them dirty or crease them so they can end up reselling them
@@hectorfigueroa2294 it’s sad, it’s more resellers and hypebeasts than there are actual people that know the history and care about the shoes. I honestly feel everyone should go on strike from buying sneakers just to make these resellers lose money lol
Agassi was the first tennis player my dad showed me in the late 90s and early 2000s. He then showed me archived matches from the 90s and I remember seeing these and thinking oh god I need them. Missed out in 2014, again in 2019. Finally this morning I got the shoe that I’ve been seeing since I started watching tennis with my dad🔥
I fucking missed on these this morning, which is crazy because last time these came out they sat. These weren’t even hyped. This is the first review that’s come out. And somehow even though the sneaker market is down, they sold out instantly. One of my favorites of all time.
These and the Air Jordan 6 dominated the feet of kids when i was in school, Could never get an original pair of either but these are some of the best designed Nikes of all time. Please bring back the volt and teal green versions of this shoe, but the black/hot lava have to be done. I myself would love to see and white, black and orange pair. Always the best reviews on YT for performane and retros out there.
For me it was the Nike Air Tech Challenge III with the Jordan 6 Black infrared. I fell in love with sneakers mostly due to the Jordan 6s. MJ ruled his sport just he ruled the sneaker world.
I had these as a 14 year old and props for the "Home Improvement" as one of my favorite shows too growing up in Michigan. Tim and the kids were always in Nike Air, it was great to see back then on tv.
Hell yeah bro, Home Improvement was the shit. My father and I would watch together every week. I loved how Tim designed the kids rooms, and when Brad got the haircut with the shaved sides and ponytail on top, I wanted that look too. I was rocking the mushroom haircut at the time, but my hair was long enough to put it up into a ponytail. So I was doing the tribal look for a while. Good times.
First pair of $100 shoes I ever had. Begged my dad for them. He flinched at the $110 price tag, but put those suckers on layaway at Foot Locker and I got them for my birthday! Started a tradition that continues to this day.
Yes, the Agassis! Oh, they need to bust out the OG black and white Air Flares also! Nike 95-96 was the best. They couldn't fail then. AJ11, Barkleys, Pippens, Nike's OG Webbers, Agassi Air Flares, AM95, Deions - peak Nike era.
This was my all time favorite shoe as a kid. I remember wearing them to school in the seventh grade and getting so many compliments. I have the 2019 pair and was hesitant on buying these because of the artificial aging. They just arrived yesterday and the materials definitely make it worthwhile.
Awesome. I hope you enjoy the shoes. I know the feeling of getting the shoes you want and then wearing them. Even though the parents reluctantly forked over $100+ for sneakers.
Great review Chris! I had the Blue/Neon Yellow pair in high school. What a flashback! What we need is the Air Trainer Hurrache's and Air Force Max. Both in black! Ah the 90's!!!
Congrats on the Bombas sponsor! Seriously some of the best socks ever! Learning the history of this shoe, I kinda regret not going for them this morning, but oh well. Since you mentioned 90s sitcoms, I believe that roller coaster you guys mentioned was in the intro to Step by Step. Gotta check the footage. Along those lines too, for my QOTD: which 90s show had the best footwear: Home Improvement, Fresh Prince, Seinfeld, or something else?
I owned the OG pair back in 89-90. At the time I was upset because my folks couldn't afford J's. Nobody loved them back in the day, but I learned to love them after wearing them around all of my friends in J's.
At 02:27 the picture on the right, that's what my PE teacher looked like in elementary school back in the early 90s. What a time. Love the shoes, I can see Jordan 4 elements in it which makes sense since both of them were designed by Tinker Hatfield.
Dope review. Me and my good friend from home had these on the list. I copped a size 11 and can’t wait to check these out. Agassi was the first tennis player to make an impression on me growing up. Need the Black Lava to drop again now.
Thanks for reviewing these!! Still waiting for them to bring back the Kumquat colorway - my 2014 pair is still hanging in there and it's prbly my favorite sneaker I own. Also, love Home Improvement. You guys are the best.
Back in the day those were my first Nikes! I love them. And yes, on the originals the back side wasn't puffy at all, it was kind of skinny. I actually remember the feeling of that ribbed top under the fingers.
I got a W on these today and I’m super happy about it! You did a great job on this review, showed me exactly what I was hoping to see and hear! I can’t wait until this one lands
That’s awesome that Chris referenced Home Improvement as I remember Tim the Tool man Taylor wearing these too. I reckon I’ll grab them. Great review as always legend!
I need these in my life. Huge Agassi fan as a kid, the outfits, the attitude, the sneakers. Haven't seen anything for Canada yet but I'm hoping not to sell my soul for a pair. Back of the roller-coaster for anything with loops, front for anything which is just drops.
Fantastic review thank you so much!! I will never forget the year these came out, wanting them so badly and the absolute elation I felt when my parents got me these sneakers and a prince tennis racquet for Christmas! Yea, I was definitely a big Agassi fan. Haven’t had a pair since that initial release so was going for these hard, of course SNKRS was a flop but I was able to secure a pair off Undftd! Can’t wait to get them in hand! Truly fantastic review, I absolutely love when you talk about the small details like the weave on the laces! To some of us it’s what makes these sneakers a must have, even though you have 40-50 pairs of Nikes already. Keep up the great work always appreciate the effort you put into your reviews, your research and your channel.
Home improvement has so many deep cuts for me. When you mentioned him rocking these, I looked it up and it’s the pilot where he trashes the dishwasher but him and mark are shirtless. 😭😭😭 That scene/episode and today’s date have such deep personal connections for me, that hitting on these on SNKRS is a sign. Time to get my inner tool man going (my teen daughters eyes will be rolling) 😂😂😂
Great video like always! These snuck up on me, but they look damn good. I'll probably be grabbing a pair as long as resale isn't ugly. I do wish we got a bit more of Chris's opinion on the comfort though because I have the Radiant Red Air Max III Retros and they're lovely on foot, so if Chris is putting these in that tier of rework then I'd like them to also meet the mark on that aspect.
You mentioned what some of the cast of Home Improvement were wearing and for some reason it reminded me of what the kid from Free Willy was wearing. He wore classic Nike Air maestro's
Totally agree on the back of the coaster for the same reason. Get the most distance and speed on the initial drop. Nike has had some great Labor Day/US Open retro tennis releases. Very happy I hit on these! The Pete Sampras Oscillate from 2015 is one of my favorite shoes in my collection. I got the 2014 version of these from Ross for $50
Chris I have almost the same exact story as you on the Giant Dipper. I was also 7, Pops and his buddy wanted to ride and my dad wanted me in the front with him. I was scared and ride behind them alone and slid around that cart like crazy. Family still has that pic of me holding on to dear life. No coasters until great America also!
Looks like a family buy. Had to edit but Top Gun was my first rollercoaster too, I was much older in my 20's, my now wife at the time convinced me to go on wink wink, I did but she felt sick after the ride and stayed sick until we got home. The next day without me knowing she took a pregnancy test and now I have an 8 year old boy. I treasure them both and was happy I didn't have to ride bigger rollercoasters that day.
Im so upset i had to miss on these today, Nike has really shown they are the best and fully recrafted this model. Too bad Jordan Brand wont take note and fix the 4 to the complete 89 specs.
Some of the greatest shoes and commercials from Nike, besides the Jordan series (with and without Mars Blackman)💪Loved watching Agassi play, really shook things back then👍Brought tones of energy and colors to the courts. Great review, NW23,as always🔥👌
Got mine today from StockX and man are they fire 🔥 I think best sneaker of the year big call but I can’t stop looking at em only sneaker harder and a close second is the Olympic Scottie pippens air max And they are epic too. Cheers for you review it made me want and purchase this awesome sneaker 👌👌👌❤️
Remember Agassi's legendary tennis career, and him rocking these joints! Always like this color over the neon yellow ones. Disnt he also do a Nikon rebel camera commercial?
These are so sick! I hope they do the Challenge 3's with this detail, I had those in JrHigh. Could we get a review of the SB PS8? It might the dopest shoe I've laid my eyes on.
I reckon the 2008 silhouette is the nicest, a kind of low-profile box toe rather than a smooth rounded one like this. However, it's still definitely one I might cop if I can get them.
Great shoe! I had the Air Tech Challenge. It was a beautiful shoe, very comfortable and like you said cool looking. I wish the bring back the original as I like the low version versus the mid.
Young Agassi made tennis interesting and exciting in the 80's and I wanted these so much when I was a kid but I couldn't get'em back then, hopefully I can make it happen now.
QOTD: The ground, baby. I was super into tennis starting in elementary school and all the cool American men's tennis players (Agassi, Michael Chang, Jim Courier, Pete Sampras) really made it a golden era. Agassi was the freshest though. I struck out hard on these on SNKRS today and I'm not going to pay resale, so congrats to anyone that got them and kudos to Nike for doing another more-proper-than-ever-before retro. Get consistent with that quality and then make the sneakers available, and you may see people having faith in the brand again. Thanks for the review! I've engaged my engagement and you'll see me in the comments on the other channel a little further down my queue. Peace!
This is the very first "cool" sneaker I ever owned at 10 years old, even before my first Jordan (which was the Infrared 6 in '91). I got one pair of sneakers every year and this was what kicked off my love for sneakers! (still have the retro from 2019...gonna have to track these down!)
They most likely just bought them to flip anyway, don’t know or care about the history of the shoe they just want to make money off of it by overcharging people for it 🤦♂️ but that’s the type of people that controls the sneaker market sadly.
One of my favorite shoes ever. To me the ATC 2 is one of the quintessential sneakers HANDS DOWN. I’ve always wondered how they would perform on the basketball court
@@spider-migz460 I've used them on a basketball court. It's almost the same as the air Jordan 3 but tighter on the mid foot. Like somewhat clunky but the mid cut makes it feel right on the ankle
Hey Chris, how comfortable under foot would say they are? I have the US open exclusives and they aren’t soft nor plush, kinda “flat”. Thank you 🙏🏻 And can’t wait for you to review the legend Blues and the game royal 1’s !
I’m turning 42 in a few months. I loved these sneakers as a kid and I wanted these BAD. Since last year when I heard they were coming back. I took an L on SNKRS and my girl also took an L trying to get me a pair. They are almost 300 in a size 10 on goat. Maybe next time. :(
Talk about nostalgia….the original of this was my first pair of Nike/non-budget shoes (only because my foot grew to a 15) & wore these until they fell apart. I wish retros - especially in Australia - went up to an 18, like a lot of these used to, because being a size 16 means I miss out on a lot of great re-releases.
I love them but couldn't get a pair and they only released on SNKRS and some other sites idk why they were so limited makes it frustrating for the people who actually love them and resale is ridiculous great review
2014 Version were the best release since the original version. They didn’t come with the original box but the shoe was the closest to the original release in the 90’s
Turned 43 today with birthday 8/30/81 and loved Agassi as a kid. Tried for them right away at 10am and couldn’t hit off SNKRS or undefeated. Too old to try and get shoes from my day and can’t afford aftermarket. Thanks world
@@tdogg6148 i'm sorry for the L. but you could get a pair soon. Never give up! And of course, happiest birthday!!! Cheers and best wishes always!
I'm 47 I vividly remember these shoes releasing when I was a kid and I would love to have purchased a pair of these but like you said It's generally not even worth trying to get.
Man I tried to and I remember everyone saying they didn't like them but look they all gone
Happy Birthday from a fellow '81er!!!
Sad truth man, happy bday enjoy your day! Other OG colorways should be releasing might have better shot.
Hands down the best reviews on YT. Thanks Chris
Glad you like them!
For sure! Great knowledge for us sneakers enthusiasts

F Nike and Quick Strikes
Actually F Nike with everything they are doing!
Zero reason for doing it!
They all have
ENOUGH MONEY!
Was it a draw? Or fcfs
@@miked5580was fcfs but only 2900 on snkrs. Size 11 only like 400 pairs and that was the most of any size

Top 10 of all time for me
By far the best review of this shoe ! Well done sir!!!!
Got mine in yesterday and they exceeded my expectations in-hand. Another great review!
I had these back in the day as a kid.. the classics never go out of style.
Hell yeah bro, Home Improvement was the shit. My father and I would watch together every week. I loved how Tim designed the kids rooms, and when Brad got the haircut with the shaved sides and ponytail on top, I wanted that look too. I was rocking the mushroom haircut at the time, but my hair was long enough to put it up into a ponytail. So I was doing the tribal look for a while. Good times.
I had the 1989s as a kid just getting into tennis. Put every penny of birthday money I could get into them. Glad to see they replicate them so well.
First pair of $100 shoes I ever had. Begged my dad for them. He flinched at the $110 price tag, but put those suckers on layaway at Foot Locker and I got them for my birthday! Started a tradition that continues to this day.

I NEED the Black Lavas, Kumquats, & the Posion Green colorways of this next 😭🔥
@NikkoNikko98 really hoping they do poison green next since I missed these (also, I hope they release them in larger quantities!).
These one of those sneakers that you need for the collection. Classics
You had me at home improvement. GRUNT GRUNT GRUNT! These shoes have more power! One of the best shows ever made. These definitely flew under my radar.
Great review Chris! I had the Blue/Neon Yellow pair in high school. What a flashback! What we need is the Air Trainer Hurrache's and Air Force Max. Both in black! Ah the 90's!!!

Thanks for reviewing these!! Still waiting for them to bring back the Kumquat colorway - my 2014 pair is still hanging in there and it's prbly my favorite sneaker I own. Also, love Home Improvement. You guys are the best.
I had these in 1990; my first pair of shoes with a visible air unit. Didn't get them on snkrs so I'll probably grab them in the secondary market.
Back in the day those were my first Nikes! I love them. And yes, on the originals the back side wasn't puffy at all, it was kind of skinny. I actually remember the feeling of that ribbed top under the fingers.
They dropped today in Brazil, but they already gone in my size. Love you guys!
I got a W on these today and I’m super happy about it! You did a great job on this review, showed me exactly what I was hoping to see and hear! I can’t wait until this one lands

Loved the Lava look ever since Agassi had it back in the early 90s.
The o.g. from 89/90 had a durabuck upper. I had this shoe back then, I was like 11 or 12.

ordered a pair on dover street market, came over to youtube and saw this review. now i can't wait 😍

I had the Air Tech Challenge 3 when I was a kid. I'll try to grab these as they are pretty sweet.
I reserved a pair 0.5 up. I go TTS with J3 and J1 and 0.5 up with J4. I hope it'll fit ok or I'll need to go for my TTS on release date maybe
OMG... THE SINCE SHIRT!!! It's BEAUTIFUL!!! YOU FINALLY REVEALED IT. OH, I'M BUYING THIS!!!
I just seen them in Keith in NYC, they only had gs sizes but they was still perfect I need a pair
Had to skip because it’s been an expensive two weeks: I hit on the 3 and 39 at A Ma….so, I can’t complain! These look great. 😮
Nice shoes tho
@@miked5580 thanks! I’m excited to wear them.
As an almost 50 yr old dude, i love these!
Chris I have almost the same exact story as you on the Giant Dipper. I was also 7, Pops and his buddy wanted to ride and my dad wanted me in the front with him. I was scared and ride behind them alone and slid around that cart like crazy. Family still has that pic of me holding on to dear life. No coasters until great America also!
Looks like a family buy.
Had to edit but Top Gun was my first rollercoaster too, I was much older in my 20's, my now wife at the time convinced me to go on wink wink, I did but she felt sick after the ride and stayed sick until we got home. The next day without me knowing she took a pregnancy test and now I have an 8 year old boy. I treasure them both and was happy I didn't have to ride bigger rollercoasters that day.
Im so upset i had to miss on these today, Nike has really shown they are the best and fully recrafted this model. Too bad Jordan Brand wont take note and fix the 4 to the complete 89 specs.
Some of the greatest shoes and commercials from Nike, besides the Jordan series (with and without Mars Blackman)💪Loved watching Agassi play, really shook things back then👍Brought tones of energy and colors to the courts. Great review, NW23,as always🔥👌
Got mine today from StockX and man are they fire 🔥 I think best sneaker of the year big call but I can’t stop looking at em only sneaker harder and a close second is the Olympic Scottie pippens air max
And they are epic too. Cheers for you review it made me want and purchase this awesome sneaker 👌👌👌❤️
Andre's wig was diabolical! 🤣
Not wigs back then
Remember Agassi's legendary tennis career, and him rocking these joints! Always like this color over the neon yellow ones. Disnt he also do a Nikon rebel camera commercial?
I got a W on this one. Been waiting years for the re release and I’m so stoked for them to deliver.
Sold out in a few seconds on SNKRS. Reselling is a plague in the sneakers world 🤬. By the way, great review as usual!
These are so sick! I hope they do the Challenge 3's with this detail, I had those in JrHigh. Could we get a review of the SB PS8? It might the dopest shoe I've laid my eyes on.
I reckon the 2008 silhouette is the nicest, a kind of low-profile box toe rather than a smooth rounded one like this. However, it's still definitely one I might cop if I can get them.
Just hit on Snkrs and your review got me super hyped for them to come in.
Great shoe! I had the Air Tech Challenge. It was a beautiful shoe, very comfortable and like you said cool looking. I wish the bring back the original as I like the low version versus the mid.
Hit them in a size 11 on SNKRS🔥 big SB guy but these and White Cement 3’s are my daily’s/beaters
Just took the L. Was getting my cut-off jean shorts ready, too!😂
I picked up my pair today and have to agree the quality is top notch. It really makes you wonder why can’t they make every retro this good?!
Really well done, looks beautiful... Also Agassi looks were wild back then, loved his personality! Hahaha
Was able to cop on the snkrs app. I remember watching Tim the tool man wearing these and it was a must have.
I don't mind the colour of the aged midsoles, looks like they have seen some action on clay courts. Had them back in 90, finally getting them again.
Young Agassi made tennis interesting and exciting in the 80's and I wanted these so much when I was a kid but I couldn't get'em back then, hopefully I can make it happen now.
This is how retros should be done every time indeed - you can see the quality from this video and that’s not an easy feat 😊👍🏿
Andre Agassi, the coolest tennis player ever. Was such a fan of him in the early 90s.
QOTD: The ground, baby.
I was super into tennis starting in elementary school and all the cool American men's tennis players (Agassi, Michael Chang, Jim Courier, Pete Sampras) really made it a golden era. Agassi was the freshest though. I struck out hard on these on SNKRS today and I'm not going to pay resale, so congrats to anyone that got them and kudos to Nike for doing another more-proper-than-ever-before retro.

Thanks for the review! I've engaged my engagement and you'll see me in the comments on the other channel a little further down my queue. Peace!
Kayne liked the outsole well enough to use them for the Air Yeezy 2s
These shoes are fire. I wanted them as a kid, and would love to have them now. For roller-coasters always the first seat if it's an option.

Facts.
@@cactusjack2264Every time a classic shoe from the 90’s drops I get super excited and then really disappointed. Resellers f*cked the game up.

Hey Chris, how comfortable under foot would say they are? I have the US open exclusives and they aren’t soft nor plush, kinda “flat”. Thank you 🙏🏻 And can’t wait for you to review the legend Blues and the game royal 1’s !
Are they true to size or should you Go up like with the mac attack
Missed out on these too 🤦🏾... Btw great review as always
I love the enthusiasm for the nice retros!!
Gotta praise them when they do good work.
Remeber the acid wash shorts with built in biker shorts that went along with these? A tennis kid at my school had them both. Flame On!
I’m turning 42 in a few months. I loved these sneakers as a kid and I wanted these BAD. Since last year when I heard they were coming back. I took an L on SNKRS and my girl also took an L trying to get me a pair. They are almost 300 in a size 10 on goat. Maybe next time. :(
Talk about nostalgia….the original of this was my first pair of Nike/non-budget shoes (only because my foot grew to a 15) & wore these until they fell apart.
I wish retros - especially in Australia - went up to an 18, like a lot of these used to, because being a size 16 means I miss out on a lot of great re-releases.
I love them but couldn't get a pair and they only released on SNKRS and some other sites idk why they were so limited makes it frustrating for the people who actually love them and resale is ridiculous great review
Any thoughts on doing some tees in an oversized and mock neck design? Would love to see it and would grab some for sure!
So excited for these
This new pair looks so good compared to the old pair.
If ever you guys get a chance to travel go to Japan and check out the roller coasters there. They're nuts
Wow this is the one! Cool review as always!
...played tennis in the lava's in high school ...college we were given k-swiss to play in
Hey Chris when will we get a Jordan 1 low OG mocha review video ??😊
This release was awesome. Hell of a throwback.
Glad they made these limited, it’s the reason why the quality is so good…its supposed to be special
I had the IV with the turquoise in 92 or '93 and they were fire
2014 Version were the best release since the original version. They didn’t come with the original box but the shoe was the closest to the original release in the 90’s
Top Gun was my first coaster too!
I still remember when those sneakers came out. Super cool.
