Funny that you post a video where Agassi debuts the 2-in-1 shorts that I've been preaching about.
As to your question, yes there would be teenagers and guys your age saying "that sucks". Guys like you, who think "swishy" is a 2024 insult, and who just want to bring back the old
In 1989 you had to be a forward thinker to appreciate this kit. And you are not that

You know who isn't forward thinking in 2024? Nike.
The company that is now getting blow-back from it's long-term fans.
To the point where they're calling Carlos' outfit boring.
Don't break my heart like this.
I had high hopes for the Vapor 12.

Non Slam clothing is very, very basic and boring. Uninspired. Bland.

Is there anything that you're able to say about retros for next year?

I have not seen any. I wouldn’t get your hopes up but theres always a possibility of a QS release.

Thanks man! I appreciate your honest take.
I get the feeling that Nike is scaling back on tennis. The quality of their products and the excitement behind the releases, just doesn't seem to be there anymore.

All I care about. Personally have enough tees and shorts to last a lifetime. Shoes are a more important consideration anyways

He’s born in the 90’s so anything that’s hot in the late 80’s to early 90’s he isn’t aware. Just taking from nostalgia really.
But I’m also a 90’s born guy and no way in hell I would rock jorts that short even with spandex. I have the legs/build for it but couldn’t do it now days. It just does not look right and not necessarily a feeling

I can agree with you on the shorts!
The denim with spandex shorts from the early 1990s are a bit too short for my liking.
Which is why I really liked what Nike did when they brought them back for the 2020 US Open. They weren't super short.
The Agassi shirts, from this time period, I love.
As we have said (and seen), there should certainly be the Tart color of ATC II....Thanks man! I appreciate your honest take.

But I have the feeling (hope??) that the possibility of some other retro is also being considered in addition to this ATC II colorway which will be released soon, so 2024.
Unfortunately on sneaker news there is almost always news about reintroductions of retro Jordan shoes or new colorways of the same!!
I have to say that the 1989 Master Cup shirt worn by Chill in his video (it's definitely the 2020 one with the addition of the black buttonsI can agree with you on the shorts!

), using black shorts of the right length, really makes a certain effect on the pitch!....And coincidentally it was sold in a short time....and the 1990 one was also worn by Shapo on the pitch!!

Apparel wise for Nike, which year is better? 2024 or 2025?
And including Lacoste in the mix with Adidas and Nike? Which brand has better 2025?

Vapor X Kyrie x Kyrgios 2019. The black colorway was originally planned for French Open 2019 but was never released. As we all know, he hates clay and he had no plan to play in FO 2019 or Clay again. That's may be the reason why it never hit the shelf.
Received some of these shirts in the mail today, not a huge fan of the fit. They were soft, comfortable, and light, so it bodes well for the tanks if it's something you're interested in. However, the sleeves are flared at the bottom, which I did notice from watching Cincinnati. But if you don't have broad shoulders or big arms, the fit looks a little weird. It's definitely a functional design choice, but, I definitely prefer the slits on the sleeves of the RG and Wimbledon shirts to having the large flared sleeves on these.not sure how i feel about all the volt on volt im seeing, but really like what sinner and alcaraz wore in cincy. pure class
if you have anything bad to say about these fits, i question your style. this is what tennis apparel should look like. thread the needle between classic fit/piping/color blocking with bold modern color

What almost all of us have been saying for some time (some more or less)..
'Abandon Nike' Calls Grow After Carlos Alcaraz's US Open 2024 Kit Goes Viral
Carlos Alcaraz may be one of tennis' brightest young stars, but his 2024 US Open kit from Nike isn't exactly winning over fans.thesportsrush.com
Just a reminder of how good the Nike stuff was at the 2010 US Open. I still have Nadal's day shirt and both sets of wristbands untouched. Back when the Nike booth was going strong.
2022 - Nike Air Trainer 1, 2023 - Mac Attack and Air Courtposite (by Supreme), 2024 - ATC II... Another retro Agassi for 2025? If it's follow the logic...Hopefully!That's good with me.
Just as long as we get the ATC III next year.

Speaking of wristbands, where do everyone get their Nike double wide wristbands from? Seems Nike doesn’t drop many that match with sets…which is a disappointment

About time they made custom ones.
They actually look like "normal" zero zooms; probably, since they are out of production, they still produce some especially for him..

It’s his regular Zoom Zero and when the OP said custom, he meant the colorway. Sinner is rocking the “hot lava” pack. Really cool to see and hopefully more different colorways soonThey actually look like "normal" zero zooms; probably, since they are out of production, they still produce some especially for him..

Can’t believe they finally started giving the ZZ colorways. To this point he’s almost exclusively used white since it discod

Would be cool if they sold the zoom zero instead of paintjobbjng it to sell GPC1s

ZZs have been great for him as his history of lower body pain/injury shows us

Plus black pair also. It makes me curious though, you have access to the ZZ, why not choose the various colors they have from the past and mix in the outfits? That’s what Dimitrov have been doing with his ZV9 x Lacoste

Did anyone else see these hats on the BAS?
niketennispro
Rookie
Yup and I bought oneDid anyone else see these hats on the BAS?
because Dimitrov is literally using old pairs of shoes he collected over his years being sponsored and Sinner is getting new shoes made by Nike to promote their current lines so they want his Zoom Zero to have the same colors etc as the latest GP Challenge/Vapor etc...

The ZZ was the predecessor to the GPT which is better in every way, no?
Wait, where did you buy it? Link?
gino

I wouldn’t say that just because something proceeds another that it’s worth less. People pay crazy money for 1959 Les Pauls and 1963 Stratocasters. It’s not like being the latest equates to also being the greatest in any consumer good. Hell, most nba guys still use Kobe’s from 10+ years ago

Obviously but Sinner could’ve pulled out some ZZ from the past seasons to match more (maybe that’s an inch from me)
As for Dimitrov, even when he was a high Nike player some of his Vapors were similar/same colors of a the current Vapor colorways from then. Some of his were custom colorways which was sick to see

Right, but the GPT was actually a better shoe and became a total cult classic. ZZs were around for a short time and I think they had lace-breaking issues, no?

In my own opinion, yes, GPT was a better shoe, but the ZZ was also considerably lighter, more flexible, and had a similar degree of cushion. I never had the laces go when I wore them, but could be a thing. My whole point was Nike just needs to offer what these guys are actually wearing or a retail approximation of such
