Full details

These trainers provide a reliable, cushioned ride for casual wear or light athletic activity, though users should note that the classic leather-heavy construction may require a brief break-in period compared to modern mesh-based running shoes.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they are inspired by basketball performance, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers and are not recommended for distance running.
Do these run true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size. If you are between sizes, we recommend opting for the larger size.
How do I maintain the white leather?
Keep them clean by wiping them down after use and storing them away from direct sunlight.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The fit is relatively standard. The structure is supportive, but the leather panels offer less flexibility than mesh sneakers.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and material integrity. Stick to manual spot cleaning.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from durable leather and synthetic overlays for stability and longevity.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
Leather will naturally soften and stretch slightly with wear. Wear them around the house for short periods to break them in.
Creasing on the toe box
This is normal for leather basketball-style trainers. Use a shoe tree when not wearing them to help maintain the shape.
White leather looking dull
Use a specialized leather cleaner suitable for white athletic footwear to restore the finish.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Flight 89 trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines. For sizing, the model fits true to standard Nike sizing for adults. If you have wider feet, consider checking the fit carefully as the leather panels offer less stretch than synthetic textiles.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the outsole and uppers.
- Stains: Wipe the leather surfaces with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid soaking the shoes.
- Drying: Air dry only. Do not place shoes near heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the glue and leather materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent yellowing of the white leather components.
