Nike won big last year with its NikeCourt label, which rebranded its lifestyle tennis efforts and trotted out exciting projects like the Nike Zoom Vapor Tour 9 x Air Jordan 3.
Presenting a "What if?" scenario that goes the other way on the timeline is this custom by Wolfstein. The shoe marries to past models, the Air Jordan 3 and the Nike Air Tech Challenge 2, rather than mixing up a past and present like the aforementioned Vapor Tour. The Nike Air Tech Challenge 2 has cooled off on the special editions by now though, so don't expect Nike proper to pick up on the idea. The shoe goes the extra mile with the detailing, and even uses the NikeCourt logo for the insoles. This Nike Air Tech Challenge II "Air Jordan 3" custom recently sold on eBay.
UPDATE 3/31: Andre Agassi actually ordered a custom pair just like this from creator Wolfstein. Nike usually isn't too keen on athletes promoting custom sneakers, but Agassi didn't seem worried about that policy when he took to Twitter to show off the shoes.
...@THE_WOLFSTEIN you are for real!!! The details are unreal. THANK YOU. #KOTD @nicekicks @ComplexSneakers pic.twitter.com/tlY3DHeZYX
