Nike Air Tech Challenge 2 "Stone Blue" 2025 FZ9033-101

The Air Tech Challenge 2 returns for Summer 2025 in a clean “Stone Blue” colourway, breathing new life into one of Nike’s boldest tennis silhouettes. First worn in the early ’90s by icons like Andre Agassi, this model made waves for its aggressive lines and unapologetic edge. More than just court footwear, it became a symbol of defiance in a sport built on tradition.

This latest retro sticks close to the original design. A white leather base sets the tone, contrasted by hits of orange and “Stone Blue” on the eyestays, heel, and signature splash detailing near the midsole. Pre-yellowed accents give the foam midsole a worn-in finish, adding to the vintage feel without looking forced.

You’ll still find the essentials: a padded collar, visible Max Air in the heel, and a combination of real and synthetic leather throughout the upper. It wears like the original and still holds up in everyday use, whether you’re lacing these for the court or street.

It’s been over a decade since the “Tart” colourway last appeared in 2014, so this release hits at just the right time. Fans who missed the last wave will finally get another shot—this time with a more wearable, versatile palette.
