FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the Air Max unit?

The visible Air Max unit in the midsole is designed to absorb impact from each stride, providing enhanced comfort and reducing the risk of injury during wear.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper of the Nike Air Flight '89 is constructed from durable leather, offering support and comfort.

How should I clean my Nike Air Flight '89 trainers?

Clean the leather upper with a damp cloth and mild leather cleaner. Use soap and water with a soft brush for the rubber outsole. Allow to air dry naturally.

Are these shoes suitable for professional basketball games?

The Air Flight '89 is inspired by basketball shoes and offers good comfort and traction for casual wear and light athletic activities. For professional play, more specialized performance footwear might be recommended.

What is the warranty period for these trainers?

Can I wear these with different sock thicknesses?

Yes, the lacing system allows for adjustment. You can accommodate slightly thicker or thinner socks to achieve your desired fit and comfort level.

What does 'Air Flight '89' refer to?

The name refers to the year the original design was released, highlighting its heritage as a classic basketball shoe from that era.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Adjust the lacing system. For a tighter fit, ensure all eyelets are used and lace securely. For a looser fit, reduce tension in the lacing. Consider the use of thicker or thinner socks.

Discomfort in the heel area

Ensure the shoe is laced properly to secure the heel. If discomfort persists after a break-in period, the sizing may not be optimal. Consult the sizing chart to verify your correct UK size.

Traction seems reduced

Clean the rubber outsole with soap and water to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be affecting grip.

Leather upper looks dry or scuffed

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or a dedicated leather shoe cream with a soft cloth to moisturize and protect the leather. For scuffs, try a matching color shoe polish.
