The Nike Air Flight ’89 Goes Low With “Cargo Khaki”

Army aesthetics for hardy weather ahead.

The Nike Air Flight ’89 Goes Low With “Cargo Khaki”

A low-cut revolution has already hit the Spizike Low & Air More Uptempo Low. How far will chopdowns spread in the Swoosh catalog? An answer arrives with the Nike Air Flight ’89 Low, a new introduction to the mainline after Stussy and PJ Tucker produced a soft launch for the new height of the throwback silhouette. With winter’s arrival nearing closer, durable “Cargo Khaki” is the choice to ring the Flight ’89 Low into the colder months.

Though retro footwear is very much in vogue, the chunky basketball design language of the Air Flight ’89 proper didn’t particularly align with what today’s consumer looks for. Rather than its maximalist style, market appetites skew towards simplistic lifestyle fare. While the purists who remember picking up the Flight ’89 in adolescence should still be satisfied by the intact hardware, the reduced height should mean easier everyday wear and potentially a wider audience for this offshoot silhouette. As we work into the bulk of autumn, the militaristic tones of “Cargo Khaki” make it an even easier prompt, embracing autumnal flair with open arms.

The Nike Air Flight ’89 “Cargo Khaki” should arrive at Nike.com and local shelves in the coming weeks, retailing at $140. Check out the official images embedded just below.
