Sneaker News The Air Jordan 4 and the Air Flight ’89 are a very closely related duo of shoes under the Nike Basketball family tree. Both debuting in 1989 and featuring the same visible Air Max cushioned outsole, these two iconic Retro models were at the forefront of the Swoosh’s “Flight” pattern that worked in tandem with the stronger, sturdier “Force” line-up of kicks.
Recently the subject of a collaboration with Stussy, the Air Flight 89 have been flying under the radar on the general release front as several colorways have begun to appear on store shelves in both adult and GS sizes. These issues rarely ever have firm release dates, but rather show up as “Available” at random times, which is why your attention is paramount if you’re looking to cop these $130 sneakers at retail.
The Air Flight 89 now appears in a clean white/black/grey mix reminiscent of the Air Jordan 4 “Military Black”, a Summer 2022 blockbuster that has aged quite nicely in the roughly two years since it hit retail. If you’re looking to capture that same late 80’s aesthetic with a similar color palette, look no further.
