Nike Air Flight '89 OG 'White Varsity Red' - UK 12

While the Nike Air Flight '89 is inspired by vintage basketball shoes, it is now primarily considered a lifestyle sneaker and is not recommended for modern, high-impact athletic performance.

Use a soft brush for dry dirt. For leather, use a dedicated leather cleaner with a damp cloth. For suede areas, use a suede brush or eraser. Avoid soaking the shoes.

The upper typically combines leather for structure and durability, with potential overlays of suede or synthetic materials for added style and support.

The visible Air unit in the heel contains pressurized air that compresses upon impact, providing responsive cushioning and reducing shock.

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree or keeping them in their original box can help maintain their shape and protect them.

It is generally advisable to wear darker socks with the 'White Varsity Red' colorway, especially during the initial wears, to minimize any potential for minor color transfer.

Given they are a lifestyle shoe, if you are between sizes, consider ordering the larger size for a more comfortable fit, especially if you prefer to wear thicker socks.

This can sometimes occur due to friction between internal parts. Try inserting a talc-free powder under the insole or loosening/tightening the laces.

Initial wear, especially in damp conditions, may lead to slight color bleeding. This should diminish with subsequent wears. Ensure socks are of a darker color if this is a concern.

Ensure laces are tied evenly and not excessively tight. Break-in period may be required for a perfect fit. If persistent, consider the fit might not be ideal for your foot shape.
