Andre Agassi's fashion game was just as legendary as his backhand, and later this summer, the International Tennis Hall of Famer is reportedly getting a new sneaker in celebration of one of his most iconic 'fits.

An Agassi-inspired Air Jordan 7 ‘Tennis Day’ sneaker will release during the US Open, which Agassi won twice, and will channel the American's vintage Air Tech Challenge 2 sneakers in a Phantom/Lemon Twist/Pink Blast/Anthracite color combination.

While official details of the shoe are sparse for now, a new visual mock-up speculates that the new shoe will harken back to one of Agassi's most infamous on-court looks: the popping pink number he wore to reach his first Grand Slam final in Paris in 1990.

Last year, Agassi dubbed that infamous Roland Garros kit one of his favorites, recalling how it his black denim shorts, hot-pink tights, matching pink-print top and headband, and sneakers famously drew the ire of International Tennis Federation president Philippe Chatrier, also the head of the French tennis federation, at Roland Garros in 1990.

"At the time, [he] was thinking about bringing in a dress code," Agassi recalled, "so I did what any noble person would do and I called him a bozo in the press conference. That was a little bit regrettable, but it was an honest reaction to someone telling me what I had to wear."

The shoes will reportedly retail for $215, and marks the second time that the basketball great's signature shoe has crossed over to the tennis court. In 2014, Nike’s Zoom Vapor Tour AJ3 sneaker released as a mash-up of the Air Jordan 3 and Roger Federer’s Zoom Vapor 9 model.
