Air Alarms would be really cool actually, were they 1995 or 1996? I remember them being sought after but rare where I went to school. I also remember a pair of Shaqs that looked similar. Are there better pictures of this ATC 3?:
 
Maybe it's just me, but it bugs me that they called them "Air Tech Challenge Future"... :lol:
The few pairs I’ve owned had “Air Challenge Future” or “Air Challenge Future C” on the box. But if I’m not mistaken, I seem to remember pictures from boxes with the name “Air Tech Challenge Future” on them. If we could find a pic, it should make you feel a little better
 
^ Finally! Now if there were only a way to block that damn "Agassi Ching's" videos from spamming my searches!

I've always known and remembered them as Air Challenge Future. I dunno who started it, but seeing lots of blogs suddenly change it to "Air Tech Challenge Future", which lowkey annoyed me. :lol: I guess it was from "Air Tech Challenge Huarache" retro, hence, everyone throwing "Tech" into every Agassi shoe afterwards.
 
About the 2014 retro Air tech challenge huarache , I remember that everyone was disappointed about the choice of the ATC 3 sole on them , me too :smile: , but I noticed a few weeks that in 1992 , Andre was using (only for the yellow /white/ black pair ) a ATC huarache with ...the ATC 3 sole , so exactly the same as the 2014 retro !! What a nice surprise!!

Two more pictures from the Facebook page “the tech challenge club” :smile:

Nope we noticed that when the shoes were released and discussed it. :smile:

We were more disappointed that the pattern on the heel counter wasn't true to the original.

Yeah, we discussed this back then. Yes, it was some sort of testing prototype, but ultimately, AA wore the retail model that we all had and remember. Here's the thing though... the upper on this "retro" wasn't even anything like the OG. The shape was completely different, the panels were different (much thinner on the OG) and the patterns were off. Had they used the same upper on an ATC3 tooling, I would have "accepted" them a bit more, but calling those an actual "retro of a PE" is just not accurate.
 
With the Lebron 16 inspired medicine ball pair they are releasing the actual medicine ball trainers separately. The Agassi inspired Lebron lavas will release soon so I wonder if Nike will retro the lavas again.
 
Good player, Good kicks, Good ride.
warm up pants were better back then too. MJ gets roasted on message boards for dressing terrible but tracksuits from the 80's and 90's are a lot better than a lot of stuff I've scene in the past 5-6 years. sorry to get off topic but the ATC releases have really dried up :sad

Yeah I saw that and hoping to get another pair of the medicine balls again. It’s entirely possible we may see the hot lava return. Though back in December the medicine ball trainer pictures popped up. Surely we would’ve seen pictures of the hot lava already if a release was coming.
 
I’m doubtful they release them with this Lebron release just because they did it in 2014 and 2016 but it would be awesome. I’m getting the Agassi inspired pair no matter what!
