It's hard to pretend that anything can beat an original, but when you hit the streets wearing the Nike Flight '89, you're coming pretty close. You'll be repping a classic style with a modern take on a shoe transported to you from the end of an iconic decade. Leather upper with perforations at the toe for comfort and ventilation. Midfoot strap integrated with lacing system for support and locked-down fit and feel. PU with Nike Air units in heel and forefoot for cushioning. Rubber with herringbone pattern for durability and traction.
