In the 90s, Andre Agassi challenged the conventions of tennis with his unique style of dress and play. From head-to-toe, Agassi was a different kind of player, separating him from the pack and making him one of the decade's great endorsers.

Part of Agassi's unusual court attire were washed denim shorts, worn over neon colored spandex. The look was celebrated with last spring's "French Open" Nike Air Tech Challenge 2 retro, which featured denim medial panels. Now, another Agassi sneaker is taking on the material.

The next Air Tech Challenge 3 features a full black denim upper, helped by black leather and textiles. A white midsole and black outsole finish off the look below.

Look for the "Black Denim" Air Tech Challenge 3 to hit Nike Sportwear retailers later this summer.
