FAQs
What is the main benefit of the Air Max unit?
The visible Air Max unit in the midsole provides superior cushioning and shock absorption, enhancing comfort and reducing the impact on your feet during wear.
Are these shoes suitable for serious athletic training?
The Nike Air Flight 89 are basketball-inspired trainers designed for comfort and support during casual wear and light activities. For intensive athletic training, specialized sports footwear is recommended.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For dirtier areas, use a mild soap solution applied sparingly with the cloth, followed by a wipe with a clean damp cloth. Always allow to air dry.
What is the primary colorway of this model?
The primary colorway is predominantly White and Black, with Light Smoke Grey accents.
What sizes are these trainers available in?
These trainers are available in adult men's UK sizing. Please refer to the specific product listing for available sizes.
How does the lacing system contribute to comfort?
The traditional lacing system, combined with a padded tongue, allows for a secure and adjustable fit, ensuring personalized comfort and support.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the rubber outsole offers some traction, the leather upper is not inherently waterproof. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the material.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system to find a more comfortable and secure fit. If the issue persists, consider trying a different size, as sizing can vary slightly between models.
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe. Ensure insoles are properly seated. If the noise is persistent, try a small amount of talcum powder under the insole.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness
The Air Max unit is designed for long-term use, but cushioning may naturally decrease over extended periods of wear. Ensure the shoes are not overused for high-impact activities beyond their intended purpose.
Leather creasing or scuffing
Creasing is natural with leather. Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth or a leather conditioner. For deeper scuffs, consider using a color-matched leather polish.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and grime from the leather upper and midsole. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly.
