    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 KZreadrs BTW.

    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.

    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.

    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 feel these are the result of the stussy collab from last year. Once they had the design from that collab, I don't think they were going to just sit back and put it in the vault after the 3 Stussy models dropped. Also, since they've been working on the J4 RM aka J4 Lows, these seem less coincidental.

  • @AaronDodgerBlueSB
    @AaronDodgerBlueSB11 күн бұрын

    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 '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.
