Andre Agassi’s “Hot Lava” Nike Air Tech Challenge II Is Returning With An Aged Look

When Nike announced its new “Cult Classic” retro program last year, it was only a matter of time before the “Hot Lava” Air Tech Challenge II got its turn. Tennis icon Andre Agassi’s famous second signature is one of the most retro’d sneakers ever, and the 2024 pair will be its fifth return since its first retro in 2008. This time, the sneaker is coming with an updated shape and Nike’s signature aged look. The foundation of the sneaker remains OG with a real and synthetic leather upper, plush foam collar and visible Max Air unit.

The 90s classic not only inspired a generation of tennis players, but it also became the sole of one of the most celebrated collaborations of all time. Kanye West famously selected the ATCII‘s midsole when designing the Air Yeezy 2. While fans shouldn’t hold their breath about a Nike Yeezy retro, perhaps this release will inspire an ATC 1 or apparel collection retro. The Nike Air Tech Challenge 2 “Hot Lava” will be available 8/30 at 7:00 AM for $150.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
