Amidst its onslaught of Air Force 1 and Nike Dunk propositions, The Swoosh has chosen to selectively return to the heritage-filled aesthetic of its 1990s silhouettes. Headlined by the Nike Air Flight various successors haven’t been seen since 2020 outside of the Air Flight Lite that recently surfaced in a “Lemon” proposition. Resuming its in-line colorways from 1989, the Air Flight ’89 is returning after a two-year hiatus to a familiar black, red and white collection.

Accented by a black sock liner, Nike Checks and tread, the model’s neutral-toned base calls for seldom touches of a titular “Team Red” filling the eye stays and lining of the forefoot overlay in conclusion.
