Has anybody heard anything about the Turbo? Specs? Pictures? Let’s hope it’s light, under 14 oz. would be nice.

Jannick Sinner has a pic or two on his insta and there are some of Big Foes from Aus Open 2020. TW said it was scheduled for a July release assuming that’s still the case with the world turning to shet!

Apparently it’s a more cushion and breathable version of the Zoom Zero. From what I’ve seen, the upper looks like the Nike Element React 87. The first colorway is the White, Red, Blue, Grey, and Black one, then it’s the White, Violet, and Grey, after that it’s the White, Magenta, Cobalt, Volt, Black, and Grey.

how could it have any more cushion than the ZZ? Those were like clouds

Let’s pray it has react cushioning, but most likely not.

No React. Supposed to have a double stack of Zoom Air in the heel.

Like @the_faceless_player said, it will have a double stack of Air Zoom.

This sounds perfect. The sweetspot would be a more breathable version of the cage 4 upper, with react cushioning.
These look sick

The last colorway that I mentioned is the USO one for the Agassi’s Challenge Court line from 30 years ago.

The US Open colorway that is releasing with the Agassi/Challenge Court collection of gear is really cool! It's an "Agassi inspired" color. ATC III & IV colors with the flaming ball logo below the swoosh. It's a mish-mash "What the" color scheme like the old Rafa Cage with the shroud. Definitely grabbing a pair.

Anything less than real denim, like the original, in blue with a real friggen fly is a weak effort.
I had the originals back when. The denim was lightweight, comfortable and REAL!
Just increase the length to 7-9 inch now, and BAM!

Yep! It’s going to be white, magenta, cobalt blue, cyber lime, and black.
Thanks Dave
Then the line with modern materials has been redone; the same goes for the other T-shirts (one request worn by Delpo and the other Shapo).
Who knows if in 2021 they will have another vintage Agassi collection as someone has mentioned in another forum.

Of course! The Challenge Court Polo with the zipper has tiny holes in them to be breathable when playing compared to the OG one. With the other shirts you are talking about regarding Del Po and Shapo, are you talking about for the Summer Hardcourt Season/USO? I haven’t heard anything for 2021 Agassi but it would be great!
For delpo and shapo I'm talking about this type of t-shirt (on the catalog it says that Delpo will wear it)

There is a launch next Monday and more colors on 7/13 but those are essentially pre-order dates as TW said they don't have actual in stock dates yet

From Tiffani: "Those are official launch dates, not in stock dates. Not sure yet when they will be in stock."
Look at all the Nike Apparel that "launched" this week for example. The actual in stock dates are all over the place between July and August....

The 1st colorway, the white one in the YouTube video is 7/1. The Agassi colorway (white/laser fushsia/sapphire/hot lime) is 8/1.

Yup, that shirt is releasing. It's called the NikeCourt Advantage Polo NY NT. Definitely getting one along with the rest of the Agassi gear. It's gonna be EXPENSIVE but I've waited 30 years for another chance at his old gear.
Challenge Court

I think Nike is using this Agassi/Challenge Court release as sort of a test. Let's be honest. The current Rafa and NikeCourt gear has been pretty repetitive for some stuff and some things pretty awful (that weird colorblob shirts for AO). By doing a Challenge Court relaunch, Nike can see if there is a market for it.
I'm calling it now! There will be a HUGE demand for EVERYTHING!! And Nike will see the pent up demand for this "vintage" stuff and it will make them do it more. I'm on Niketalk with a core group of good Agassi fans. It's the best thread on the site. We all know each other and what we have in our collections. We're all grabbing everything. And we all want more once this season's apparel passes. If you ask, we all want the ATC 1!!!
I already ordered the printed shirt that was listed first on another site. Have to wait till 6/30 for it to ship. But once the majority of the gear releases, it's game on. I got a 20% Nike code just waiting for the expensive stuff to hit (90 Open match apparel). Plus the t shirts, sleeveless shirts, the bucket hat and the other hat (which, if I can honestly say, is horrible. But it's got the flaming ball logo and I need it). Should have been a 6-panel hat).
But this release will make Nike rethink their tennis line. Is say bring back the ATC IV and the matching apparel. The release of the retro ATC IV was such a botched one. Only released overseas, which was a HUGE mistake. Luckily, I was able to grab a pair from some site in Italy. Whenever I wear them, it gets people guessing. But they need to keep the Challenge Court line going after the US Open. I also want a remake of his '95 Grunge gear. I still have all the old stuff but I can always get more and definitely a new pair of LWPs (in black/dark teal please)!!!

•Rafa items are a hit and miss by Nike and the NikeCourt just recently been okay since they have gone pretty back to simple/basic. (I actually like the colorblob shirt and own two) Anyway, if it’s really a test, I’m ready for whatever comes next. Unfortunately, I have only been a fan of Agassi since ‘00 since back then I wasn’t born (‘94) when the cool stuff came out. It’s nice to see retro/vintage stuff to come out for younger people to know about and see ‘new’ designs. I would also like to see the Supreme Court line come back out too. Very underrated line with a few nice pieces here and there.
•I’m already saving money and calculated how much I’ll be spending. Less than $1200 for sure.
•The ATC IV unfortunately I missed out on, but still looking for a pair. It was very stupid in regards when they announced it for outside the States. Missed a huge opportunity for revenue. I have the underrated retro ATC Huarache in yellow, but they are stiff as brick so not that comfortable to wear often.
•The ‘95 Grunge one is what should come out soon, but I what I really want is the ‘91 RG #PhoenixSuns
Totally agree with the judicial challenge.
See how much Nadal shoe A.O. has sold 2020; it is still present in many stores in large quantities ... and the shoe is exceptional (but the color combination is not good unlike Edmund's)!
LWP, Zoom challenge II was among the best for play.
The Agassi shirt and short of 1995 were breaking, but they did not exaggerate like those of Nadal today, where in my opinion there is too much bright color.
Fortunately, Kanza is bringing the Agassi US Open 1995 polos back to life

You and me both buddy. Thankfully, I still have my pair in the black/dark teal that is 100% wearable. I still wear them occasionally. But I'd LOVE a retro!!

Great thought on the Supreme Court of Courier and David Wheaton. Some of that stuff was really classy! I have those yellow Challenge Huarache retros as well. Had the OG color back in 1993 on the HS team.
Love the purple ATC III from the FO. Grabbed a pair of purple IIIs that retroed back in '15 with the Hot Limes. Wore the Limes a bunch but haven't touched the Purple pair yet.
I did see that Vollaix is releasing the '95 US Open shirts. I still have my OG wide black stripe shirt. Will have to grab some of his shirts once the Agassi stuff passes. The "Tennis Sucks" stuff, from AO & FO '95 would be incredible if they came out next. I have basically all the stuff from then but won't wear them to play in anymore. Don't want to damage them in the washing machine.
Let's just hope Nike is smart and doesn't do the Challenge Court line for a one and done deal. They gotta keep it once they see how popular it will be (and it will be INCREDIBLY POPULAR)!!!

As already mentioned, the various us open agassi 1995 shirts that I had all the big washing problems; problems that have not been with AO and RG 1995, still usable and undamaged

Stores are not going to be able to keep this stuff in stock. This is incredible by Nike. It's a real response to client demand for heritage gear. It has been building and building for quite some time and they are responding.
This will be the first time in a while that I have bought any Nike gear besides shoes.

Cool pic. Wonder if it's still not okay to post a picture of the Agassi color of the Turbos. I'm sure there has to be a shot somewhere on the internet.

I hope they are like a budget cage with better cushioning. The outside from what I have seen looks semi-durable(?) perhaps more than a ZZ. But the cushioning sounds great as well as colorways. But the price will be a big point of contention.
Challenge Court

Price of the Turbos is going to be $140 retail.
Think I read that they will be priced at $140, which isn't bad given the level of cushioning. Never made sense to me that the most cushioned shoe is the least expensive. Love the cages but have held off buying more to give these a try when they come out or read feedback from those who try them. They look to be a little more breathable, which is nice, and I am also happy to see a traditional herringbone outsole. Hopefully they are a good shoe. Like having a couple of options with the zoom vapor cage and hopefully the turbo. The vapor x are a hot mess in my opinion.

Hey buddy, you won't go wrong with the Zoom Cage 4! It's a dang impressive shoe!!! I'm thrilled with my pair.
Yup, the retail will be $140. I actually posted it a few minutes before you, lol.
Have a couple of pairs of the cage 4 in the rotation and one unused pair in reserve. Great shoe for me but I find I have to size down 1/2 a size to get the fit to my liking. Just holding off on buying the grey Nadal one to see what initial reactions are to the turbo. Also can try them risk free from the manufacturer if a Nike+ member, so I might go that route.

Yeah, definitely use the Nike return policy to your advantage. I'm getting the Turbos in that color regardless. It's got Challenge Court logos on it and that alone sold me, lol!
