If you are totally sick of Nike hybrid models by now, you may want to look away, but don’t be so quick to dismiss these until you take a closer look. Tennis great, Andre Agassi’s shoe, the Nike Air Tech Challenge was one of Nike’s hottest models back in the late 80’s and early 90’s and was even embraced by those with no appreciation whatsoever for tennis. There were four Nike Air Tech Challenge models released between 1989 and 1992 and now the most recognizable attributes of each have all been combined into one shoe that pays homage to the entire line (the Nike Air Tech Challenge Hybrid features design elements from the Air Tech Challenge 1, Air Tech Challenge II, Air Tech Challenge III, Air Tech Challenge IV, and the Nike Air Flare).

The Nike Air Tech Challenge Hybrid “White/Volt-Hot Lava-Black” is available now at several Nike accounts.
