They retro'd those a few years back, Air Trainer 1. Also, I believe he wore the current retro'd Air Trainer SC 2? Although both wouldn't be very suitable for today's game.

These!
I've seen a few pairs of the vintage ones in decent condition pop up on the auction site for well over $300.00

The Yonex 304SHT. A great shoe. The newer 304s aren't quite as good in my mind, though I haven't tried the very latest. I don't need it in all silver, though.

This was the first line of shoes I thought of, although I'm sure a little updated tech wouldn't hurt but man, I loved those in black and teal.

New Balance 1002. I would buy 10 pairs if I could. Why do companies mess with a good thing.
Because if they don't keep coming out with new models, that shoe would get old and people would stop buying it...
Been using fresh pair of these the last month or so. Have this exact colorway that's been sitting on the shelf for ten years, the glue has gone bad and the forefoot disconnected while playing, shoe doctor reglued and they are holding but they are ripping around the toe's leather area.
I also have a grey/white/red clay pair I've never touched as there are no clay courts around.
Great shoe.

Yes!
And I have to be honest, I thought I would love a re-release of the original Air Trainer. But, I got a few from Hong Kong a couple of years ago and they aren't nearly as comfortable as I remember.
Definitely. Can you imagine these with updated technology? What a beautiful shoe.
Nike is really blowing it. And now they're charging $130 for a pair of Vapors? Every time they come out with a great shoe, like the Implosions, the Air Tech Challenge, the Air Flare or the Air Zoom Tennis Trainer, they eventually discontinue it. I'll probably be switching to another shoe brand soon. Thanks for the memories, Phil Knight....

Yep, they would need it. The soles on those shoes all around the back just fell apart when it got a little used - especially if it'd ever got damp at all. It discoloured quickly too. They were utter rubbish in that respect.
Yeah, I had the second generation, I think? The McEnroe blue/orange that looked like they had paint splatters. Great shoe, but the duratech rubber was nowhere near xdr. Those, the Air Jordan 3, and the nike air trainer are my 3 favorite sneakers of all time.
