When we mention sneakers who borrowed their midsole tooling from legendary Air Jordan silhouettes, the Nike Air Yeezy is probably the first to come to mind. And while Kanye’s first collaboration with the Swoosh was so successful that we’re awaiting the sequel, even a superstar record producer can’t move as many units as this throwback to the golden age of both hip-hop and sneaker design. The Nike Air Flight ’89 is back in 2012 after a little while on the shelf, this new black and grey getup the kind of simple yet effective colorway that’s truly timeless and could have just as easily been an OG as a fresh new look for spring. They come on the heels of a bred pair, which leaves the ‘True Blue’ edition and a brand new neon-accented grey pair for later this season, so with all these classically-influenced colorups, will you pick this one up today from NikeStore?
