References: dpbolvw.net & hypebeast
Nike introduces a new sneaker that brings forth a nostalgic element -- it spotlights the signature Air Flight '89 sneaker model. The retro look is retained as it made its original debut over 30 years ago with elements that were ready for on-court performance. The shoes take on a white and black colorway palette this time around for a minimal design language.
It is also detailed with some hits of grey, red, and pink for a subtle pop of color. The upper is made from white leather materials at the base, continuing with the hue at the trims and laces. Black is applied to the tongue branding, part of the sole unit, and at the Swoosh. Light pink can be seen in the midsole and midfoot section and red can be seen at the heel branding.
