Nike Air Tech Challenge II “Pinstripe”
As we’ve seen the resurgence of the tennis classic over the past year or so, here we get a look at another upcoming colorway option of Andre Agassi’s heralded Air Tech Challenge II from Nike. Dubbed the “Pinstripe” pair, this may direct your attention straight to the guys that made pinstripes famous, the Yankees—although there is no official connection here as of yet.
This clean take on the Air Tech Challenge II features a predominantly white leather and mesh upper with navy accents complementing towards the heel. The pinstripe detailing can be seen at the collar and tongue, while pure white laces accompany the NSW set.
As for now, no specific release date has been disclosed, but expect the kicks to arrive by this year’s French Open in May.
