After the success of the Air Tech Challenge 2 QS 'Hot Lava' in 2024, the next colorway of this iconic silhouette is now set to release. This time, it's the 'Racer Pink,' a fresh colorway featuring striking pink tones. The sneaker drops at Nike and selected retailers on January 31, 2025.
In the 1990s, Nike shook up the tennis world with the Air Tech Challenge 2. The eye-catching silhouette came in even bolder colorways and was worn by tennis star Andre Agassi, who dominated the court. Alongside his full head of hair and colorful outfits, it was primarily the bright pink Nike sneakers that defined his style.
In 2024, the shoe made its return, carrying the same attitude that made it an icon. Following the success of the 'Hot Lava' colorway, the 'Racer Pink' is now making a comeback—a pair that blends white, pink, and gray on a high-top silhouette, built on a comfortable sole with visible Air Max cushioning.
The sneaker was last re-released in 2019, making this the perfect time for another drop. Unlike its original 1990 release, the 'Racer Pink' is no longer a WMNS exclusive and will be available in more sizes. This version also features vintage details, such as a yellowed sole for a retro look.
The Nike Air Tech Challenge II 'Racer Pink' will be released at Nike and selected retailers on January 31, 2025. Check out the official images of the pair below and don’t miss this release.
