Subtle Grey Softens The Nike Air Flight Lite

Old school shoes bring us back to a time. Nostalgia will, ironically, never get old, which is why the Retro footwear business will never go anywhere. In fact, it’s the models from decades prior that continues to keep Nike at the forefront of the sneaker game.

The Air Flight Lite, returning in mid-2022, is on the “overlooked” end in today’s market, which means pairs can always be had at a discount. Back the early 1990s, however, the Air Flight Lite was it. It made a simple black/white colorway look so good, with added character coming in the form of the patterned interior. Nike has produced a slew new colorways of this silhouette in the past half year, leaving no shortage of options for those looking to fall in love again. This new light grey adds a clean team look, while the basketball logo on insole confirms its role in a vast Nike Retro Basketball collection coming in Spring 2023.

This Air Flight Lite will hit Nike.com and partnering retailers soon for $140, but as stated earlier, these are a clear wait-it-out shoe because you can easily secure pairs for under a $100.
