The limited edition US Open Pack celebrates the last Grand Slam of the season; it features the iconic Stan Smith and two colorways (grey and back) of the popular ZX Flux.

Nike reignite one of tennis greatest rivalries with the return of Andre Agassi‘s Air Tech Challenge III and Pete Sampras‘ Air Oscillate.

The Air Tech Challenge III, launched in 1991 as the Air Tech Challenge ¾, included visible air in the heel and a flexible encapsulated Nike Air-sole unit in the forefoot.The third installment of the Air Tech Challenge line also moved away from the “Hot Lava” colorway made popular by its predecessor, opting for an equally eye-catching, tennis ball-inspired neon yellow pop.
