As the 2016 Australian Open approaches, it’s seemingly the perfect time for Nike to bring back a tennis court classic. Popularly sported by André Agassi, the Nike Air Tech Challenge 2 silhouette will be making its return to shelves in classic “Hot Lava” form. Last brought back in 2014, the classic Infrared color-blocking will be intact as its white-based upper hosts a perforated toe box along with Nike branding on its tongue and heel. To finish off the shoe you’ll find additional Infrared hits throughout. The “Hot Lava” colorway of the Nike Air Tech Challenge 2 will make its return on January 25.
