FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional basketball games?
While inspired by basketball designs, the Air Flight 89 is best suited for lifestyle and casual wear rather than intense professional court play.
How do I ensure I select the right size?
The shoes follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose the same size you wear in other standard Nike athletic footwear.
Can I use these for long-distance running?
No, these are fashion trainers and do not contain the specialized foam or weight-reducing materials required for long-distance running.
How can I prevent the white parts from yellowing?
Keep the shoes away from direct heat and excessive sunlight. Regular cleaning to remove debris will also help maintain the white finish.
Is the material waterproof?
The leather upper provides some resistance to light moisture, but they are not waterproof and should be avoided in heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the white leather upper
Gently wipe the surface with a soft cloth dipped in a mixture of warm water and mild dish soap.
Creasing in the leather during wear
This is a natural occurrence in leather sneakers. Use shoe trees when not wearing the shoes to help maintain their original shape.
Laces becoming frayed or dirty
Remove the laces and soak them in a bowl of soapy water, then air dry them thoroughly before re-lacing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Sizing: These shoes are available in a range of UK adult sizes. Ensure you check your specific fit as they follow standard athletic sizing.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the vibrancy of the white panels.
- Cleaning: To keep your white and black trainers looking new, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the sole and a damp cloth with mild soap for the leather upper. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the materials and adhesives.
