More than 10 years after its 2014 release, Nike Sportswear is launching the Nike Air Tech Challenge 2 "Tart" once again.
UPDATE 29/01/2025: After a long wait, we finally have the first images of the new Nike Air Tech Challenge 2 "Tart / Stone Blue". See images of the famous color scheme below and check the list of stores where you can find the pair in stock at the time of release.
Although it is too early to talk about an official release date, we already have information about a new limited-edition release during the Summer of 2025. Nike Sportswear is bringing back the Air Tech Challenge 2 in the "Tart" color scheme, which originally appeared in 1990. The "Tart" nickname is new, as the pair was previously known as "Clay" or "Clay Blue". The 2025 release will be almost identical to the one from 35 years ago. One of the key differences will most likely be a slightly yellowed sole, giving it a vintage look. The 2025 pair uses the "Sail", "Tart", "Stone Blue", "Football Grey", "Pure Platinum" and "Coconut Milk" colors. For now, Nike has not yet announced a release date, generally avoiding confirming rumors about future limited-edition drops.
