FAQs
Is the Nike Air Flight 89 true to size?
Yes, these trainers generally follow standard Nike adult sizing. We recommend choosing your usual size.
Can I use these for intense professional basketball?
While they are basketball-inspired, modern performance shoes offer more advanced cushioning and energy return for professional court use.
How do I keep the white parts looking clean?
Regular maintenance is key. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth after each use and avoid contact with harsh staining agents.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The fit is generally standard; however, the mid-top structure is designed to hold the foot securely, which may feel snug for those with very wide feet.
Is the material waterproof?
The materials are durable but not inherently waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to protect the integrity of the materials.
Troubleshooting
Visible scuffs or dirt on the white leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a gentle mixture of mild soap and water with a soft brush.
Creasing in the toe box area
Use shoe trees when not in use to help the material retain its shape and minimize deep creases.
Sole grip feels slippery
Clean the outsole with warm water and a brush to remove trapped debris or dust that can impede traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Flight 89 trainers remain in peak condition, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material yellowing. For daily maintenance, wipe down the white leather or synthetic surfaces with a damp cloth after exposure to dirt or mud. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the adhesives and structural integrity of the shoe. If you are between sizes, consider trying them on with your preferred thickness of athletic socks, as the fit is consistent with standard Nike adult sizing.
