The Nike Air Flight ’89 Gears Up in Black and Grey

After a two-year hiatus, the Nike Air Flight 89 has made its long-awaited return, pulling from the Beaverton archives to delight fans with OG and inline styles. The latest addition to this collection is the striking "Black/Grey" colorway, a sophisticated and contemporary interpretation of a classic design.

This new iteration of the Air Flight 89 pays homage to the silhouette's rich heritage while embracing a modern aesthetic. Known for being the choice of legends like Kevin Johnson, Reggie Miller, and Scottie Pippen, this updated version maintains the essence of its predecessors, yet with a fresh, new twist.

Its luxurious textures characterize the pair, combining smooth nubuck and pebbled leather overlays. This rich mix of materials is predominantly draped in a deep jet-black hue, lending the shoe an air of mystery and elegance. The dark, midnight-inspired theme continues seamlessly onto the sole unit, offering a sleek and unified look.

Contrasting this dark canvas are the light grey accents, which subtly stand out against the black background. These grey highlights adorn the Nike Swoosh, heel counter, and inner lining, adding a touch of sophistication and visual interest to the overall design.

A defining feature of this model is the crisp white cursive "Flight" branding on the tongue. Set against the black and grey palette, this white branding emerges as a striking focal point, capturing the essence of Nike's Flight series.
