🎾 OFFICIAL AGASSI RETRO THREAD 🎾

When I tried on the black ones last last year I went with a 10 US, which is my usual size and they seemed perfect to me. I usually go half a size up in VII's, but with these it was TTS.
 
After you said about it yesterday I asked my friend Gavin who lives in Streatham and he assured me it was still there. Perhaps they've moved premises. Streatham is the total other side of town from me, and too far for me to go on a random store check. I'll ask Gavin and see what he says.

*EDIT* I just looked it up in the Yellow Pages, and it appears to no longer be there. Sports Direct has taken over 213A-213C Streatham High Road. Maybe they have moved, but I can't find any listing for them anywhere.
No biggie as I won't be visiting in the foreseeable future... thanks anyway.

But damn, they had a helluva stockroom.

There were a whole bunch of independent stores across London that were like that, but now they are few and far between. Once JD Sports started getting really big, and Foot Locker came over here they all started to die out. I did my work experience in a store like that in 1995, and the guy had me organise the stock room. I found all manner of stuff that had been sitting there for years. As they were not obliged to pay me in cash the guy said that I could pick out a few bits. I came away with DS pairs of Nike Air Flow, and Reebok Court Victory Pump, which are two of my favourite shoes ever.

 i have plenty to pick up in the mean time
 
I've been meaning to get the 2010 Retro model, but I keep putting it off. There was a pair of '91's on eBay just before Christmas for £28. They were in 9/10 condition too. I should gotta them really. CVP is my favourite non-Nike shoe of all time I think.

So when are the '14 Lavas and Poison Greens coming out in the US? I haven't seen an official day yet.

It looks like late January for the Lavas, no info on the Poison greens. More and more Hot Lavas are popping up on my ebay so I assume they are coming soon.
 
Picked up the tour yellows at finish line. I walked into foot locker and asked if they had the Agassi's that came out today and the kid looked at me like I was crazy. Then he asked me what kind of shoes were they so I told him tennis. He looks at me and says sorry we don't sell tennis shoes smh
 
I can hear it now: "when dem laney yeezys comin out??"

Love the blue and yellow actually. As for the French opens, I was also wishing for some clay splatter, but I doubt Nike would copy the court victorys like that unfortunately.

And though my thoughts echo several other OG's on this thread regarding the huaraches, I have been loving this attention to Agassi's shoe history. I've been wearing my 2008 hot lavas this week and they've actually finally become comfortable! Still nowhere near the leather quality of some og challenge futures I still have and wear, but it makes me want to buy the lavas again when they release
 
On another note these huarache's sold very well in most places online so it's safe to say that the lava's will be gone with the quickness.
