Of course, many tennis fans will remember Agassi's tennis shoes from when he debuted them in 1989. However, Nike has given the shoes new life over the years with retro releases.

The most recent release for the Nike Air Tech Challenge 2 "Hot Lava" came last week. The old-school shoes were released on August 30 for $150 in adult sizes - a testament to Agassi's timeless kicks.
