Description
Vtg Nike John McEnroe Andre Agassi Checkerboard Tennis Polo PE Challenge Court M. What makes this piece even more special is its connection to a young Andre Agassi. It’s a PE (Player Exclusive) promo issue, made only for Nike’s top-tier sponsored athletes. PE Nike tennis gear from the ’80s almost never surfaces, especially in this condition. A true gem for vintage Nike and tennis collectors. This extremely-rare John McEnroe polo comes from the final year of his legendary Nike signature line in 1988—one of the most sought-after eras for Nike tennis apparel. What makes this piece even more special is its connection to a young Andre Agassi. This exact model was worn by Agassi throughout his breakout 1988 season, including his run at the French Open—an iconic moment in tennis and Nike history. This is not the common retail version. It’s a PE (Player Exclusive) promo issue, made only for Nike’s top-tier sponsored athletes. These pro-issued shirts include details that never appeared on the store releases. Most notably, the sleeve patch differs: instead of the retail grey/white, this pro version features the blue/black/white patch used for maximum visibility on TV and in print—exactly what McEnroe and Agassi wore on court. PE Nike tennis gear from the ’80s almost never surfaces, especially in this condition. A must-have centerpiece for any serious vintage Nike, McEnroe, or Agassi collection. There is staining on the front and back (check pics).
