Nike Air Flight 89: now on NIKEiD

Creases don't bother me at all. Higher quality leather (including higher quality synthetics) crease rather easily. I passed on wht/cmt IVs which are on my top 10 list because I'm not paying $50, let alone $160, for CRAP. I have much love for flight 89s. That said uptown AF1 pleather on ANY SHOE MEANS INSTANT PASS.

I've worn the white/blue retros quite a bit now and I think they're pretty comfortable. I'm really shocked the midsole paint isn't chipping and doesn't look like it ever will. The hard leather does crease a little weird, but I'm glad I picked these up. Such a classic looking shoe, hoping to pick up the black/white/grey ones on sale at some point

This!  You know I used to get stoked about Nike retroing shoes, eagerly awaiting for what they would offer up to us next. Though I still love sneakers and would probably still be spending $$$ on lots of shoes, now, I don't really care or get excited about any retro Nike puts out because I know they'll be really low quality, mere shells of the originals. Its certainly has saved me a lot of money and made me appreciate other companies that maintain the integrity and quality of their products.

Then I saw them in person at a shoe palace and I have to say that they look kinda crappy.
They don't look as nice on feet as I figured they would, and as they do online.
thought the quality was gonna be like these that released a few years back...

I put up a short video of the Flight '89 ST in case anyone wants to see it, for posterity.  Can't seem to find any other info so peep it if you're interested

I didn't know they were dropping white/red also! Got damn it now I have to get those too.Edit: I was wondering if anybody else ordered those Neptune's from FNL was it for pr-order because I haven'treceived any sort of order confirmation or shipping confirmation if that's the case I'm going to cancel n justorder the those white/red n wait for the other ones.

Even though the quality is sub-par on these, I've gotta get the white/red.

Anderson Hunt then Scottie made me want these!!
