 i'm still doing stuff the old fashioned way, so i have to either be really, really lucky , or spend more on a pre order

Yea these releases r just too hard now with EL, bots, pre-order prices, reseller prices, corrupt employees, and the list goes on.
 
Just got my Lavas from NEXT.  All is good.  The quality is a bit better than my other pair I grabbed last week locally.  
 
Stop *****ing you lot. Check it out...
View media item 783852I put in some custom laces I stole from a pair of Tennis Classic AC QS. The pump is weird, but good. It's perma half inflated. You just top it up. Leather is outstanding too.

It's almost on par with my Wimbledon's. I'm just pretending that all Nikes are this good.
 
Nice, pick up. I have two pairs of Court Victories. one OG colorway and another white/blue that I beleive is a sample from early 2000. Always wanted the french open and US open collaboration with packer just for collection purpose
 
Thanks. It was a "big" thing for me to go non-Nike. The last pair was some Mizuno in '96. I'm very pleased with them though. Aus Open's tomorrow though. First wear.
 
:lol  What a predicament.  


But I hear ya... as big of an Agassi fan as I am, the Oz's don't do anything for me (or the USO or Wimb for that matter).  

In terms of what really represents Agassi... Lavas over all 3 of those easily... in my opinion.  

In deciding between Lavas and Aus it's not really a like for like choice. The Lavas are a classic CW that mean a lot to anyone who was into tennis in the late eighties. I was 15 when they came out and playing juniors and going to Wimbledon every year so prime audience so of course they mean a lot to me like many people on here. The Aus CW means nothing to me but as a collecter they are a great collectors piece. Classic style but in premium Materials and unique detailing. I'm not going to wear the Aus in the same way I have not worn my Wimbledons but I will wear my Lavas if they ever turn up. But for me they are two different concepts. I'm not saying one is more worthy than the other just different. As always buy what you like for whatever reason you like.
 
Ny Heads don't ever ,ever ever ever buy any sneaker from jimmy jazz on Fulton ave. I tell the lady my size she comes out with a pair that looks jacked up the white sole is already yellow. A two year old might of  painted the mid sole. so i tell her can i see another pair. She flips out (  little Arabic looking lady with glasses, look like she weighed no more than 90 lbs and im 225)  

Me:  miss the sole is yellow and the mid sole looks terrible, meanwhile im calm, i inisit on getting the other shoe and she tells me these sneakers are limited and they are going to sell, i tell her that's nice but let me see the other shoe!

Her: nobody wore the shoe they are brand new, why do you want the sneaker on display? everyone touched it.

finally after going back and forth for another pair she gives in.

next pair checks out

Me:ok ill take them

Then she gives me a messed up box, instead of the intact box from the previous pair

Round  2

Me: hey let me get the box from the other shoes, that turned into another debate.

Her:  no i cant do that sir because each shoe goes with a specific box and from the cameras perspective it looks like im stealing the shoe.

Me:  Do you need some sexual healing or something and

Her: talking her language

Me: i hope you get off the rag soon.

Manager comes finally she gives me the box and then as i walk out the store they forgot to take off the sensor . 

The funny thing is, every time is see this lady she says hi and we talk nothing crazy, i don't care if the the galaxy's restocked there.count me out.

Lavas>>>Aus. There's no other choice. Build quality is exempt. It's about when we were kids.

If you have cash to burn and want a nice looking retro from 2000 do a search for Tech Challenge kiwi low size 10 currently on eBay. The photo below is just a Google'd image. I must say too, if Nike can retro this in 2000 surely they can retro an equal counterpart 3/4 height ATC4 in 2014. I would cop multiples if this released again.
