Nike Air Flight 89: now on NIKEiD

why are there two different looking shoes?

This is the shoe on the official Nike site
http://store.nike.com/us/...1/pid-438338/pgid-438339

This is the version from finishline
http://www.finishline.com...amp;productId=prod686700


The biggest differences is that the finishline shoe has one consistent texture and no holes in the toebox, whereas the shoe on the nike site alternates between textures and it has holes in it's toebox.

What do you guys think? Fakes? Two different models or something? Not quite sure..

It only makes sense to put white on laces since there's white hints around the shoes the laces didn't look too well with grey or purple so the white adds to the other hints of white and makes the shoe look better. Sweet shoe along with the hoh yellow tempos, never found a good color on these till these came along. Like the way the purple just pops on this shoe and makes it look better than lebron 9 hornets for example (yuck imo on the purple on those) these are much better than those.

The lighter blue version at finishline does have some very odd textured leather.

It almost feels like plastic. The darker blue version that was GR has a nicer, not great, leather.
