They're really doing this release horrible. Go check out Nordstrom, they have a 3-4 fire colorways that almost look like OG or 1999-00 era colorways but they're all GS sizes.Are people buying these lows out in society??
Then the other colorways we get are low-tops.

Pair came in a couple days ago and finally got around to snapping some shots of these beauties. I absolutely love them. Leather is actually much better than what was used on the previous run of Flight 89s a few years back. It’s obviously not the best leather by any means but very much a respectable grade of pliable leather was used this time. Not all out plastic like the last run. Beyond that, they check all the OG details boxes (perforations, OG tongue mesh, corduroy mesh along the heal etc.). Shape is also good and a lot more sleek like the OG, unlike the last retro. This is about as good a retro any fan of this model like myself could ask for in 2024. This release is super weird in that they’ve only released at a few places and have been out for months yet haven’t gone on sale at those places. I’ve waited since April for a sale and ultimately had to break down recently and copp off SX. Paid $125 shipped which I can live with. If I find them on sale or at the outlet down the line I’ll gladly double up. If/when they release the True Blues and OG white/black/grey/red in this iteration I will copp multiples of each. Listen, in other words, this is not the one to sleep on.

US market style code is HM3467-100. Looks like JD Canada is using a different one. Same shoe.

Bring back the highs. The mids already kinda low. The lows are too short for my liking.

why are these only a sample?!

Maybe because they made the black white last year, which is almost the same colorway, idk??? I'd like to have those black-grey too.
edit: I know why those are a sample, because the toe-box and ankle collar look amazing, they're not going to give us anything that looks like that.

Since nobody but us cares about 89s, I’m about to get someone to customize mine to mirror these.

Those look beautiful. Really need those, and not settling for the previous white instead of grey, and this shape is definitely good work.

Leathers still plasticky, but I dig them over the previous batch from 2020-ish. Scooped off eBay for $93 shipped. Glad I didn't pay full price.
Sizing wise, I have always gone with a 12 in these. Went with an 11.5 this time based on reviews and they fit great. Toebox seems larger than previous gens.

Just happened to be in Biloxi, Ms over the weekend and went to the Nike outlet in Gulfport and they have them on the back wall for $60 AND 30% off. Got a pair for $42. Wanted an 11.5 but took a 12. I couldn't pass at that price.

Nice! You got lucky on that 12. The outlets I found them in, they always had every size BUT.
