The basketball and tennis world collide in the latest hybrid sneaker design in the form of Andre Agassi's signature Nike Air Tech Challenge 2. It blends a classic tennis footwear model with a traditional basketball silhouette and elevates it with bright hits of 'Hot Lava,' which is a bright red hue.

Lebron James informs his LeBron 16s in the same accenting tone on a black colorway and a white colorway. The original Air Tech Challenge selection started in 1990 and it quickly began a classic lifestyle footwear design. The second iteration followed in 2014 and now arrives once more in a new colorway. It is a mid-top tennis model informed with the Air unit at the heel with an upper constructed from leather materials.
