The Nike Air Flight ’89 was one of the first sneakers to represent Nike Basketball’s ‘Flight’ wing (the anti-thesis to the rough-edged Force). At that point, Michael Jordan was considered to take the helm for the new Flight squad, but Nike chose to go forward with the Air Jordan line, and appointed Ron Harper as the face of Nike Flight – with the Air Flight ’89 right beside him. Now considered a classic by many Nike connoisseurs, the Air Flight ’89 was re-issued quite a number of times over the decade, but there’s no doubt it’s a shoe that we can’t get enough of. Sneaker News gave you a preview of Spring 2012 releases of this Flight originator, and here we have a look at a sample of the White/Blue/Red colorway (we’ll call it the ‘True Blue’ for now). These are expected to release in early 2012, so take another look below and check out the listing from loco_1979 on eBay.
There's quite a few on ebay, have been for a while. Testament to one of the most slept on sneakers of our time.
Classics. I will cop if they drop these. Had a pair as a kid cus the Jordans were too much $$ for Mom.
man, this brings back straight memories.
i memeber a d boy in my bio class who wore these
man remember the hi top solo flights with the cement ahhhh........and the low solo fight on epmd album cover
Straight classic 2012 gonna be hot with the retros.
Please, bring them back! I want as many Flight 89's as I can grab!
...even though they dropped in 89,these are part of the 90s NIKE HERITAGE.
...SCOTTIE PIPPENs.
I remember those shoes... only i gave it away to donations. def going to cop next year!
Early 2012 damn I'm going to have to get a second job just to get shoes, no sleep in 2012
Sick, got a pair of these back in 04 wore the shit out of them! like this colorway even more have to cop these when they release..
Nice, but if they put cement on that'd be gay. Just leave the Retro 3 CW's (W/ Cement) to the 3's
What? Oh, well yeah. This isn't a III. It just shares that True Blue from it...
release them flight 89's are the bomb nut knowing nike the materials will be payless crap
Good Job Nike.
