The pair in your profile pic was an OG colorway. I bought them at an NYC Foot Locker when I was on a trip there in 1995. I don't ever recall those being retroed though.
Peace,

I asked a buddy of mine about these as we worked at Champs at the same time. They were exclusives to Foot Locker Corp. along with a white and pine green Flare. They came out in 95 after the OG color ways released in 94. They never really caught on as well as the original release did.

I figured you did but as
ARK
mentioned I remember them coming out after the initiial colorways released. It is possible that it was 95.

It was definitely 95. No mistake about it. I got mine that May. I wouldn't consider that a retro though. Just a natural part of the production cycle back then. Fed is still having Vapor 9.5's produced 2 years later. Are any of them considered retros? Back then, that was pretty much the norm. Keep pumping out colors til the model is retired.
A good example is the white/black Limited Editions. Those came out ages after the first colors dropped, but they aren't considered a retro.
Peace,

Was the tongue different though? Agassi A vs a Nike swoosh?

I wasn't saying it was a retro just saying I thought it released in 95
Ah gotcha. Got a little confused because Ark talked about them being a retro.

A retro in a sense that they were released the next year after the original color ways released. It was exclusive to Champs/Foot Locker only as they were trying to capitalize on the popularity of the shoe the prior year. It never did however and they went on sale. There was also an all white with pine green on the top of the shoe and white laces.

100 bucks for these back in 95? that seems to me like a pretty exspensive sneaker for its days but that may have been the norm for Nike Tennis idk I was only 4 then lol.Â

Average to low for the top of the line shoe. The OG ATC 2's were $110 along with the AJ 4 in 1989. THAT was considered high. 1994-95 was an odd era for Nike that saw them actually drop prices on a few top tier models.

100 bucks was quite a lot for the shoes back in the day. BUT despite price increases, for the most part nikes pricing has not kept up with inflation. Adjusted for inflatiion, $100 in 1995 has the same buying power as $157 today,but the flares were selling for $130 retail when they retroed this year.
So the things are expensive now but we're outrageous at the time. However the tech in shoes was much more state of the art at the time, and the models were built for performance. Still while quality was better then, nikes production costs (materials, labor, and shipping) were also cheaper.
