Latest Pickup: 2025 Nike Air Tech Challenge II ‘Stone Blue”


Early Look: 2025 Nike Air Tech Challenge II

Every once in a while, the sneaker gods bless us with a special opportunity—and that’s exactly what happened with this pair. I was able to secure the 2025 Nike Air Tech Challenge II ahead of its official release, and I’m excited to give you an early look at this iconic silhouette’s return.

This early pickup means a lot to me, not just because it’s a retro, but because the Air Tech Challenge II represents a golden era of Nike design. Known as Andre Agassi’s signature shoe, the model originally debuted in 1990 and quickly became a standout thanks to its aggressive midsole design, splashy graphics, and performance-driven tech. Its return in 2025 is another reminder of how Nike continues to bridge nostalgia with modern sneaker culture.

In my latest YouTube video, I take a detailed look at the pair—breaking down the materials, colorway, and how it compares to previous retros. Whether you're a long-time fan of the silhouette or new to it, this early review gives you a solid preview before the official drop.

If you're a fan of early sneaker previews or just love a good retro done right, make sure to check out the video and subscribe for more on-foot looks and unboxings.

Let me know in the comments—are you planning to grab a pair when these officially drop?
