Hmmm. They go about it in a strange, seemingly backward way, then. They’ve released Flight 89s up the wazoo in the past five years or whatever. And released them as mostly trash in terms of colorways and materials. The model sells OK here and there, it seems, but rarely like gangbusters. It’s...
I guess this is true in many ways but as I’ve said before, I don’t get why it can’t be both. Drop all the silly collabs you want but not at the expense of doing justice to the classic colorways.
