Borrowing heavily from the classic Nike Air Flight ’89, the retro-minded Nike Air Flight Squad hasn’t been a heavy-hitter by any means in the sneaker world since it released about a year ago. Maybe Air Flight ’89 fans are already content with the classic model instead of the too-similar Flight Squad? Perhaps acknowledging its ho-hum reception so far, Nike Sportswear looks to bolster some attention for the Flight Squad with this bold new “Copper” colorway. The metallic upper with a subtle, clear-coated ornamental print is surely the shoe’s most eye-catching appearance yet. But does it have you ready to join the Flight Squad? Use the pictures here to decide, and if you’re feeling them, pick up the copper-clad shoe now at select Nike Sportswear retailers like Kith NYC.
