Today we look at the first leaked Stussy X Nike Air Flight 89, so stay tuned!
What makes the Stussy X Nike Air Flight 89 special?
Next year, 2024, the Nike Air Flight 89 celebrates its 35th anniversary and what I didn't know yet, the inspiration behind the shoe is the iconic Air Jordan 4. The air bubble and the eyelets were completely adopted and if you look at the sneaker carefully, you can also see that. In recent years, many older Nike models have been revived and have been able to find themselves again in the mainstream.

As a special feature, you can see a fake reptile leather behind the tobox through which the laces also lead. With a classic “SS” Stussy logo in black, a cool contrast is also used here. Of course, you shouldn't forget the air bubble under the heel that ensures comfort.
Releasedatum and further information
