FAQs
Is this shoe suitable for intense basketball play?
While inspired by 1980s basketball shoes, the Flight Legacy is designed as a lifestyle trainer. It is best suited for casual wear or light recreational activity.
How does the sizing run?
The Flight Legacy follows standard Nike sizing. If you have wider feet, you may find the mid-top silhouette feels snug at first due to the leather upper.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you need to insert custom orthotics.
Can I wear these in the rain?
The leather upper provides some resistance, but it is not waterproof. Avoid heavy rain to protect the leather from water stains.
What is the best way to clean the white midsole?
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution or a mild mixture of water and gentle soap with a soft brush to maintain the white finish.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the toe box during wear
This is a natural characteristic of leather footwear; use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the original shape.
Squeaking sound from the sole
Often caused by moisture trapped under the insole; remove the insole, let it air dry completely, and wipe the interior of the shoe.
Pros and Cons

- Visible Air cushioning provides reliable heel support

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Flight Legacy utilizes high-quality tumbled leather, maintaining the material is essential for longevity. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface debris and a damp cloth for spot cleaning; avoid submerging the shoes in water to protect the integrity of the leather and adhesives. For the synthetic mudguard and eye stays, mild soap and water are sufficient. We recommend using a water and stain repellent spray compatible with leather to keep the crisp black finish looking fresh. Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading.
