Andre Agassi won more Australian Opens than he did any other major, so it’s only fitting the Nike Sportswear kicks off this year’s tennis release with two takes on the Agassi-popularized Air Tech Challenge II. Following a bevy of releases for the silhouette in 2014 (including the return of the classic “Hot Lava” colorway), 2016’s initial drop sees the design executed in premium perforated suede as a Light Brown/Laser Orange-Cinnabar-Summit White look is accompanied by a Blue Grey/Obsidian-Summit White-Photo Blue make-up. Though a release date for the pack is still unknown, you can expect both Quickstrikes to hit NSW spots in the days ahead — this year’s Australian Open kicks off January 18.
