Already the overlooked, long-lost brother of the Air Jordan 4 — the Shoe in the Iron Mask, as it were — the Air Flight 89 directly channels its sibling’s signature style with a new colorway.
And not just any new colorway, but the quintessential Jordan colorway. The Air Flight 89 dons black leather throughout the upper, with occasional splashes of cement and red delivering pops of contrast, before the sole unit — a design it shares with the AJ4, remember — makes the tribute even more overt. Grey, black and red commingle throughout the Air-loaded sole in the exact style of the Black/Cement IV, simply with a bit of white speckling splashed onto the black portions here.
No word yet on a release date for the Nike Air Flight 89 Bred, but it seems like a potential Holiday 2015 launch. Stay tuned.
