Some of Andre Agassi’s sneakers may be remembered more than others such as his early days in the Air Tech Challenge series, but Agassi’s career and lineup of kicks stretched far past the early 90’s. Andre’s career, as successful as it was, had its ups and downs, but 1998 was the comeback year for Agassi climbing from an all time low ranking of #141 in late 1997 all the way to #6 in the world by the end of the 1998.

The Nike Air Assailant had a unique design having no tongue.?? Like many of his shoes from later in his career, the Air Assailant featured Zoom Air.

Finding a pair of Nike Air Assailants is virtually impossible now a days.?? Personally, it took me several years of checking eBay and tennis forums looking for a pair.
