Always uncovering relics from their past — some more recent and others far off — Nike continues to bring back some cherished classics in OG schemes with the latest being the Air Flight 89, a silhouette whose run a few years ago was cut short after a luxe upgrade by the now rethought NikeLab sub-imprint. If you’re familiar than the colorway will likely not impress; rather, it more so focuses on versatility in an arrangement fit for the late ’80s pair. Black leathers are at the majority in the construction, given a slight tumbled treatment and outfitted to almost each of the overlays. Accents, however, prefer stark whites in contrast: swooshes, edges of the side panelling, midsoles, and every minute detail follow in this colorless approach for a subdued reentry into the market.
