New Nike Air Tech Challenge II HOLIDAY 2014 Collection

The vast majority of tennis shoes are predominantly white, owing to the particularly traditional sartorial sensibilities of the game. So Andre Agassi’s Air Tech Challenge II was a revelation of sorts when it dropped two decades ago, Nike Free Run 2 Online bringing bright, neon colors and a cool aura to the sport’s generally understated footwear. But they were still mostly white. Not so with the Nike Air Tech Challenge II Holiday 2014, a duo of colorways that forgo the color entirely.

And the timing couldn’t be more perfect, the Nike Free Tr Fit 2 Leather Sale shoes eschewing fragile colors just as the weather is turning wet and wintry. Both colorways, Obsidian/Black and Black/Burgundy, sport some degree of weather protection courtesy of uppers that avoid mesh and textile in favor of leather and snakeskin-embossed synthetic suede. Even the sole units are solid black, promising puddle-jumpers will see minimal color damage.

Check out plenty of looks at each below, and look for them to hit shelves in October or November.
