"Well how about the 89 LOWER" 🤣🤣🤣 Nice one Jodi!
😂
😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂 Jodi for marketing president 👏🏾 🙌🏾
Air flights are so under rated. The Stussy collabs go hard.
@@lightsydedean my pops has had some pairs of these & I always wondered why he liked them so much…I fear I’ve been sleeping on this silhouette
Do you have the stussy collab flights? I’m thinking of grabbing one but how’s the sizing? True to size? Since it’s a AJ4 sole
@@_AFO Unfortunately I don’t have the Stussys yet. I’d assume they fit exactly like AJ4s, so safe to go true to size.
Yalls chemistry is glorious
please stop enabling vocal fry
@@novelaego2404 please be quiet
@@novelaego2404 Whatchu talkin bout
John Donahoe needs to hire you and get Nike/Jordan Brand back on track!
Jodi over here killing it...Air Flight '89...LOWER! Going forward they will be called Flight 89 Lower..
Your insole descriptions are the best 😂😂😂 … I just want some Air Revolutions already.. Awesome review!!! 👌🏻👌🏻
It’s been way too long since I seen Rev’s on the shelf 🕸👊🕸
@@Airspider23No doubt!! A needed OG form comeback for these..
“Cuz y’all car cheap af!”🤣🤣🤣
"There is no spoon" - The Matrix
The groan from Mrs Wing on the clogposites was awesome 😂😂😂
Not sure if you knew this, but I remember seeing a Footlocker add from like 1991 or 1992 with the Air Flight 89 and it also had a Velcro top on them with the laces underneath. That was the most outrages version of these, which have never been re-released. Would've loved to see if anyone had an OG pair of that.
7:00
Lmaooo dam Jody , wants to make a shank out of spoon 🥄 savage !!!!
That intro made my day. Also, something about the Flight script logo just does something to me. I can't get enough of it.
The lower tops are kinda dope might have to grab a pair
Dope video. I love the Air Flight 89s. I’m now on the look out for that low. If the materials are the way you’ve described them. I’d have to pick that one. Later.
Sold my Nike stock because of this channel. Thanks for the assist guys
I’ll hold out and wait for the Oreo black & grey color way. Nice review !
Didn't know Nike was kinda bringing these back.. The PJ Tucker joints are one of my fav sneakers of the year
I have several of the recent colors of the 89 and like them a lot. But man I'd really like to see you and others address model's like the Air Force V low that has yet to be retro'd? I had two pairs of the white, black, crushed orange colorway back in highschool and was my absolute favorite model. We need these brought back so bad! So many haven't experienced how good those shoes really were because they haven't retro'd them! I love the variety of models you review compared to many other RUclipsrs BTW.
This era of Nike, I was more into the CrossTrainers and the Tech Challenges but this shoe looks great! Might have to take a trip to the mall this weekend and check them out.
Spoon, I found the mids at Nike outlet in Redlands, Ca, for $75 Grey wit Black trim
One of my favorites silhouette of all time! I had the og all black patent leather pair back in high school! They need to retro the black/ grey color way!!
I bought a pair of air trainers last December and the leather on them is so good. Nice and tumbled soft and very wearable.
Air flight 89 low v2. 🤭🙃 They’re 👍🏼 but, I’ll keep it lit with the traditional lows.
I’d definitely go with a spoon. Fresh coconuts and cantaloupes everyday. 😊👍🏼
Gotta be the spoon.
Never really got into this silhouette, but awesome review as always
I used to have the shiny blue ones w lime green flight on tongue and laceholes.
Here for the cutaways 😂
The new ones look slick. I wish I could have these but I'll definitely add them to my visual collection
What book is that, where you’re pointing out the shoe models?
The paint that they use on that midsole always cracks when you play in them.
I was able to play in the OG of this shoe way back in HS. The cushion was really soft and bouncy, plus being the 1st ever Air product I wore, I was convinced that I did jump a couple of inches higher than normal. So much so that when my cousins asked that's what I told them. 😆😆😆😆
1: I remember trying on the og "mids" in grade school, and the upper was way too stiff. It might be worth a try-on just to see if the "lowers" feels any better.
2: I did have the flight lite "lows" in middle school. It's making me wonder when exactly "mid" got added into Nike's product labeling.
3: Q.O.T.D. spoon, as long as we're assuming it's metal.
I love Flight 89, but I remember all 3 of my early 2000 pairs had "crumbled up thread" stuffed as the out-sole of the inside. They need to be cut it in half to see if Nike still does that.
I'm still on the lookout for a pair of these.
We need this quality treatment on the Nike Air Trainer Lows along with better cushioning. The quality of the last releases were so bad
Shots Fired!!! WAY to come on STRONG JODI!!! 89 Lower…that was worth the price of admission! 😂😂❤🫡 In all seriousness..I think Jodi gave them the solution, just keep that as the low and the “original” low…rebranded as the Mid. I actually like it. Like you said, they actually made the necessary adjustments to make it look good, instead of just chopping off the top. As for the question of the day, I tried really hard to see if I could come up with valid reasons to pick any other option, but the spoon is the only practical one.
These look nice, back in 7th grade a guy in my class had the black & white ones. I wanted a pair so bad.
Those black wing mate high tops in the brochure though 😘😘❤
As long as they keep releasing Air Flight 89s, I'm happy.
I used to play in these but for I suppose now the "lower" version might be the move... kinda crazy they did this
What is that magazine you have in the video? I'd like to get my hands on a copy.
Finally Nike gave these decent materials. Such an underrated shoe.
Where did you get that magazine? What is it called?
They are prolly close to retroing the Flight High so they felt it would be right to make differentiate them as much as possible
I want to know who at Nike was like "The 89s don't show off enough ankle meat...LOWER"
But I actually think they should've matched the piping on the back with the front since they made other slight modifications.
Spot on Chris! I was in 8th grade in 1989 and these to me are classics that have been mishandled. These "lowers" are a waste of time. Greed is killing Nike. By the way, We need you in Beaverton!
89 'Lower' is even better than when Nike tried to be controversial by using Industrial Blue.. I use my Flight 89's to work every now and then and am certain the midsole is of a softer compound, also they have more toe space than an Air Jordan 4.
Air Flight Legacy is even more simpler and cleaner looking than the Air Flight 89.
I have the high red ones, these are solid 👌
Have a beat pair of da capsule pack flight 89s from a few years ago... dà wife had the tns
I can’t believe Nike hasn’t re-released the AFIII High.
I love it when your vids are a Nike roast session 😂😂🎯
Big fan of the 89 low, possibly because of Pippen. But the first retro I got of these the materials were worse than crap. I'd be very interested to see these in hand, but ultimately hesitant to purchase.
These remind me of the Nike Air Condor low from 2009.
I think I actually like the 89 Lowers more than just the 89 Lows!
Can y’all do GT Hustle 3 please
Those kicks are really nice Chris!!! ….and a spoon is more functional than the other two choices.
Leaving my question again, since it was ❤ed by you two... QUESTION: If you could have one shoe come back every 2-3 years with necessary interior tech/luxury improvements... What would that shoe be?
I thought they were almost like the AAF88 without the front strap but I looked at the pair that I have and realized they were different but they do share a little bit of DNA. Tell me if you agree or not.
They completely ruined these shoes, Jordan 2/3 by far are the best looking lows for this year hands down.
When are these releasing? I can’t find any information on that. The OG ones released earlier this year were crap.
QOTD: what, in your opinion, is the best performing basketball shoe of all time?
They need to bring back the air flight legacy already... And if we all email Nike would they make some of these shoes more higher quality???
If leather is indeed 8:12 softer than the 89 low then I’m taking the “lower” one 😊
So you must have heard of the Stussy Flight 89 ? Right ? I have the black pair. There was also a red and a pecan version. They are same low and short swoosh type model. I'm a huge 89 flight fan and this is the same profile model shape etc. You should do a review of the Stussy/Flight 89s man. Wicked idea ! Love the vidz as always NightWing
QOTD: Balloon. Hot air balloon. They type of balloon was not specified or limited. I win, I'm flying home.
I mean, yeah the OG "low" was a low in the sense that it wasn't halfway up your shins like the high was, but I agree, this was such a weird choice to change it.. and then go crazy with the leather like they didn't just adulterate the silhouette. Strange.
Thanks for the video! Have a wonderful weekend, and a like, and a comment.
Yeah, pretty weird but hey, considering the high top version is high af a mid version of that would be like a J1 high og in terms of height, but those were different times and almost nobody makes those super high kicks no more and those low are more a mid than anything else, compared to it’s “cousin” the J4 or even the J3 for example. It happens something similar to the Blazer where it’s not as high as a J1 for example or a Dunk High but it’s pretty close, and they label it as a mid, and they came out with something like the Blazer CS (which was an SB) that was basically a Blazer Mid cut like a Half Cab or something like that, making it a truer mid than the “real” mid haha which is ridiculoous but hey, Nike being Nike. Talking about these, they’re pretty nice and thank god the materials are nice like they were in the Stüssy collaborations, it’s very nice they didn’t use the same plasticky leather as they did with the OG low
89 are good for one thing : buy sole swaps for cheap
Old enough to have hooped in the original model ... Nike wont make them in my size now ...
How about the Stussy 89 Lows that released not too long ago? Curious how they compare to those
What was that book that displayed all those Nike shoes?? Can I pick it up from somewhere
@@broderickpoe8870 kicks vol 1 1999
When you inevitably go mad you can talk to the person in the spoon
Widefooter also true to size! 👍🏻😊
The originals and the spoon is goated lol
Dang it, I gotta pick these up now!🔥🔥🔥 (Spoon fo sho)
These are clean and I’ll cop for the right price
They look better on foot! Interesting shoe.
I'd choose spoon!
A spoon 🥄 & The OG Mid Top
Almost every single day 👍🏼
What book is that with the shoes in it?
Well at least they're not butchering them like they were for a time but this seems redundant. Also why does nike put good materials on the most random models. I'm going with the spoon cause it's the only one that makes sense to me
89 Lower was too damn funny 😆
Yeah, give me the spoon. Feels like it’s the only reusable item out of the three.
That's a real clean looking shoe.
why doesnt nike release any of the cool 80s high tops.
Jodi a winner in this one 😂
How big is the spoon?
I use to like the 89 flight
These look eerily similar to the upcoming air jordan 4 rm (based on pictures). Maybe nike was testing the waters shape-wise with the air flight ‘89 low?🤷🏾♂️
In a survival situation, I would want either a knife, or a fully functioning phone with gps and unlimited battery life😅
Based on personality, if your parent(s) were a shoe, which would they be (any brand, any silhouette)?
Ice cream fridays😂😂😂😂
Spoon no question
I like the 89 Lower
Why do they do this? The last release was the worst plastic leather. Let's make an abomination and make it good leather. 🤦♂️🤦♂️
The spoon all day!
if you werent making these videos... we wouldve thought it was exactly like the originals, maybe they need to start add 1.x or something at the end
Nike AJ 3 vanilla ice😂😂😂
Spoon, match or balloon?? Who's the junkie that concocted that question? 🤔
How low can you go?
Spoon 🥄....
Yes!
Restock his tee plz 🙏
How low will Nike go🤦♂️🤣
