I will propose a thought experiment: would you buy a polo from that collection for 250 USD upon release?

The baggy zip polo looks good on FAA/shapo really but TBH not looking forward to playing middle aged guys that end up buying this shirt with their gut all hanging out

Best tennis outfit I’ve seen in a very long time, surprisingly from Nike!!
The Nadal Tiger woods shoe looks also awesome

It was ridiculous back then, and it looks even more ridiculous now, but looking forward to see all the Agassi clo(w)n(e)s on court.
Oakley were ahead of the game by a couple of years, and did some extra ridiculous sunglasses to go with what is coming out now from Beaverton:

Nke kits have been so horrendously bad the last few years, going retro is probably the best to be hoped for.

For real.
But it's not just the designs also, the material quality has gone down imo.
With that said I will probably get a polo and the blue shorts.

The women one would fit different with a cut more for a women body. Are you sure you would want to buy it?

Perhaps I’m too young to remember all of Agassi’s outfits, did he ever play with a big balls on his shorts?

I don’t recall him playing an actual match in these shorts but I remember a clip of him wearing the neon ones with the big ball in practice. I think you can catch it on the old CNN documentary on him on Youtube, prob part 1.Perhaps I’m too young to remember all of Agassi’s outfits, did he ever play with a big balls on his shorts?

You can't see it in this photo but the turquoise parts have as a pattern all the years that Nadal won RG. Bitemark out of the swoosh as well, which is a nice touch but tbh I can do without it.
I like it so much I actually bought two pairs from TW Europe. Got the second pair almost half off so my wallet doesn't feel as bad.
I actually prefer the RG shoes. Silver and metallic pastel turquoise.Best tennis outfit I’ve seen in a very long time, surprisingly from Nike!!

I wouldn’t call it turquoise, but more like polarized blue. Anyway, I have a jacket that matches it if you are interested, but depends on your size.I

Received this polo yesterday, and man was I disappointed with the fit of this polo. The polo length is way too short. I dont know why Nike cropped the polo so much, it barely came down to my waist. Debating whether to keep it or not.

I assume because the shortness and the "trash bin bag" look became iconic with Agassi, who was showing belly button hair on every serve.
Shortness guarantees the same "experience".
That is why some folk went directly to the other polos: so that they don't look ridiculous playing in it. Most people that were Agassi fans then are not that fit anymore, and the reality is hard to ignore. Unfortunately for them Nike didn't get the fit of those right either, as their slim fit creates similar problem for similar reasons.

Back then it was made like that where it was cropped in the front and slightly longer in the back. Honestly, this re-issue is more toward the younger crowd that wasn’t born when it came out. They wanted to test the waters to see if they willing dip in.

Does anybody know when this version will be available?

It's available now on Nike's site. It falls under "Sportswear" so it is likely that retailers (like TW) who have a Tennis account with Nike but not a Sportswear one will not be able to carry it.

Typical Nike, the worst quality, ugliest crap out there sold for 5 times what it's worth. Nothing Nike makes is worth getting, not just for tennis but in general. These outfits that the players are wearing are simply terrible. No rec player would show up to their USTA match wearing this crap, they'd be laughed off the court.

add Vilas, and Edberg & Lendl (adidas rocked at that time)
i have no idea about Vilas but you can not include edberg and lendl
i forgot to mention connors also a fashion mugal

Surely you meant "mogul"? Connors? Jimmy Connors who wore the same shirt for 10 years?

Funny, I showed up to a match in some of it, no one laughed, if they did behind my back, I don’t care. We won, pretty handily. Also I’m a big muscular guy, most people treat me nicely.
The retro Challenge Court stuff is fun, nothing more.
BTW the stuff has nearly sold out world-wide. It’s a clear home run for Nike.
gotta be a eye opening as the Jordan retros were.
Guess it’s a good thing to market to 40 to 50 year olds with disposable income. The Star Wars franchise already knew this.

They have now done a lot of great colours on the ZVC4's now.
I don't wear them but the TW x Nadal colourway is great and that RG one you mentioned was brilliant. The colourway works with a lot of different stuff and the RG release was loaded with interesting additional details in the design.

The only thing imo that would be the cherry on top of this amazing collection is an ATC 2 release.
