PJ Tucker, renowned as the NBA's sneakerhead extraordinaire, recently unveiled his latest collaboration with Nike: the Nike Air Flight '89. Limited to just 472 pairs, this exclusive release marks a significant moment for sneaker enthusiasts.
Inspired by the boundless skies and the iconic Boeing 777-300 aircraft, Tucker's design boasts a captivating "Sky Blue" colorway. Each pair is meticulously crafted with premium materials, reflecting the sleekness and sophistication of the aircraft. The tongue's interior features unique "seat numbers," corresponding to the 472 seats found within the Boeing 777-300, adding a touch of personalized luxury.
The upper showcases a striking blend of "Carolina Blue" hues and pebbled leather layers, accentuated by matching gray Swooshes. A pristine off-white midsole grounds the design, while a Nike Air-branded sockliner depicts a picturesque cloudy sky, paying homage to Tucker's sky-high aspirations. Completing the look is Tucker's distinctive logo adorning the heel, adding a signature touch to the collaborative masterpiece.
Available exclusively through Tucker's The Better Generation storefront in Houston, the release offers both in-store purchases and online raffle entries. Priced at $160 USD, lucky raffle winners will have the opportunity to secure a pair for an additional $4 USD Run Fair fee.
