But the Barricade II's were never discontinued so it doesn't need to be "reintroduced". There are still several color choices readily available here at TW and elsewhere.

Also the Nike Air Oscillates have been reintroduced, several months ago:

I don't recall the name, but they were Nike's.
They had some kind of ugly green KEVLAR sole.
The Nike swoosh was green.
It had a sun like symbol on the back of the heel and the inside of the shoe had some kind or ridges...they felt awesome.
The shoe was a bit heavy (made of all leather). They made at least two styles that I know of. Does anyone remember the name? I had a pair until I moved to my new home (April 05)...now I can't find them!!!!

I believe you're thinking of the Air Resistance. Very durable and very heavy for the time. Yes, I remember the Air Ablaze. I have a pair. When I was on my shoe binge I bought every Agassi shoe. Scary thing is I can't name them anymore.

Yes, they are some good shoes. I bought Kuerten's Yellow Diadora's and his next year's black Diadoras. Never wear them though...

This is an easy one! Nike Air Max2 Sweeps. They were light blue and white and they were supposed to be worn by Sampras, but of course he never did... They were so comfortable, but durability was a problem...

Back in the '80s, the "Wilson by Bata" tennis shoes were probably the lightest shoes I've owned, and very comfortable. Alas, they were about as durable as Tournagrip, but armed as I am these days with my trusty tube of Shoe-Goo, I could probably make them last long enough to be worthwhile.

I deffinintly want a comeback of the air zoom vapor speed shoes. The original blue and white ones that Federer wore at the Australian open 2005 were freaking awesome!!!!!!

No. Those shoes on the link are not the ones I was reffering too. I am losing hope.
Ahh , he is correct - those were AIR RESISTANCE. Almost sure. gd memory.
Ivan Lendl's Adidas Surpreme are back with some modifications.
Still looking great!

I also loved his first Mizuno's, especially at the US Open 1990's with his name on the sides (Ivan on one and Lendl on the other one)!

I second that - the FIT was awesome . The AIR UNIT got busted on one of them pretty quickly - but all around , It was great . I had a 2Blacks ( Blk/Wh), 1 White/Red , 1 Blue/Wh .
Still wearing the blacks.

Never saw the Sweep, but I loved the Air Max² Spa, along with the Courier shoes from the same time period, and later the Air Court Motion. In fact, just about a year ago I found a couple of pairs of Air Court Motion in colors I hadn't before seen. One pair is all white with white "EKG line," the other all black with silver line. Here is my Air Court Motion shrine. In the lyrics of Michael Jackson, it don't matter if your Air Court Motion shoes are black or white.

the nikes with the kevlar and the beefy green sole were the air resitance 2's. courier shoe. and actually, sampras did wear the air max sweep for a bit. wore them at wimbledon when he first signed with nike, if i recall. he quickly switched as they were too high off the ground for him and i think he had foot problems. he wore either his old sergio's or wilson pro staffs with the logo covered for a while. then wore a low end nike shoe (air repete?) until the oscillates were introduced. sweet shoes i'd like to see re-introduced would be the air tech challenge II, but not in the very popular white/black/pink colorway. they looked way better in the white/teal/orange miami dolphins color. sweet.
