Was waiting for this one! If Nike is worried about other brands "catching up" to them like they said in the leaks, this is part of the major problem. When you buy from NB or Adidas, you don't get craftsmanship that is this bad. Even their "cheaper" shoes with "lesser" materials are still put together better than this. Absolutely ridiculous

[@samaantree]

Bruh that’s what I call protest craftsmenship those are straight trolling 🤣🤣🤣

[@yizzymx]

Word. Every pair I've received from Nike has had some kind of flaw or major inconsistencies, not to mention the terrible materials they use. With adidas it's always been the opposite, good quality materials even in the "cheap" general releases and great quality control

[@RT-xj3of]

Seriously. My aj1 light smoke greys are falling apart with less than a year of wear...actually only about 6 months. Absolutely pathetic for a shoe let alone a Jordan.

[@killingmyselftolive2526]

This is what you get when pay people 20 cents an hour to make 'em...

[@RediRoc]

Not to defend Nike but Adidas has its problems too. I bought a pair of Ultraboost 21s and there was a stitching flaw so bad that the shoe was unwearable. And the funny part is, I replaced the sneaker twice and each pair had its own unique stitching issue that made them unwearable. Both companies are asking premium prices for shoddy craftsmanship.

[@WearTesters]

Hey Guys! Today we are checking out the Nike Air Flight Lite II Mid retro. And it looks like Nike has some explaining to do... Let us know what you think about it all down below. Thanks for watching!

[@TheRetroManRandySavage]

Extremely disappointing. Nike hardly ever shows love to it's classic silhouettes. They have tons of great models in the vault. But sometimes I think it's best they stay in the vault. Especially if nike releases them in poor quality. I'd rather just have the memories.

[@Chris-kt1rr]

I saw the IG story and honestly I was like man….

[@owendamato]

A lot of memories . I believe that the whole pattern on the outsole used to be known by Nike as dot traction on the documentation that came with the OG Jordan 6 .

[@blearbeware]

"No, maybe Nike needs to get my foot out of its a.." 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@andyto83]

When is Nike gonna retro the 1994 Nike air swift in the Chicago and NY colorway?…they’re dope and get zero love in the sneaker community

[@tonyhenderson1412]

This is the definition of 90's. Love it man. Takes me back to when about 90% of sneakers were dope!

[@j.d.552]

💯

[@chrisw9231]

The best sneaker reviewers & my favorite sneaker channel on the internet. Period. Informative, witty & real. Chris tells it like it is good or bad. The passion is legit. And the dedication is respected.

[@kwazitv3626]

Every nike factory and design team should have a guy like you.. meticulous and true to the original pairs. More power to the both of you!✌🏽

[@prodbyjatonye7031]

Nike is just trying to increase profits, they wouldn’t listen

[@igniscycles2658]

When I was a young man I had the black playoff version Pip wore. They were awesome, I wore the soles down till the air pockets blow out. Loved them.

[@jayskicksnfits9372]

*blew out*

[@rendim5788]

Is the air pocket like the jordan 1s?

[@LLTBBPYOABC]

thank you for being an actual honest reviewer and having some integrity, many youtubers could learn from you

[@TheRetroManRandySavage]

I'd love to know whose making decisions at nike too. It's the 30th anniversary of the 180 and the force 180 pump, and yet nike ignores them. We also still haven't had a retro of the air force 5 highs n lows. Nike needs to employ some of us older heads for sure.

[@TheRetroManRandySavage]

@@pychang21 yes! Most definitely bro. Nike has some truly fantastic classics locked away in their vault. They need to bring them all back. I don't like modern shoes. Strictly retro for me.🙏🏻👊

[@RESO914]

Where are the 180s!!!??

[@j.d.552]

Fat ✅!!!

[@rikosimmo]

Thanks for doing this. The heel pods on the highs are incredible. Hopefully nike wakes up to how many of us want to relive the golden era of the early nineties

[@murrayfam7547]

Man, this is a blast from the past! Although these weren’t my first pair of Nikes, they were one of my first Nike basketball shoes. I’ll definitely be coppin a pair once the black & white colorway drops.

[@CertifiedSadBoy]

Nike's quality control is in the gutter. Especially with the prices we pay. My pair of New balance 550s is 10x the quality of any Nike i've bought the past few years.

[@Only1iSO24]

Your profile pic got me crying rn 😭😭😭

[@Pantera972]

You're absolutely right. So many imperfections in brand new Jordans! It's unacceptable.

[@Al-zj9di]

Honestly though, New Balance construction and materials is by far the best

[@danielmcleod5555]

They need to drop a reverse colour way of this shoe with the funky 90’s colours all over the shoe

[@jakubgorecki2937]

in some European countries there is already black version with red and blue accents available

[@adampruitt9211]

The black and white version

[@scizor285]

For how cool the 90s design of this shoe is, such a shame that nike does the bare minimum with retros. We need to hold them to better standards.

[@vincentlim1741]

I still have the black nubuck at my parents’ garage. Been waiting on these for so long. I’ve always wanted the Olympic versions. They were great hooping shoes.

[@MrFantastic23]

I used to doodle that flight logo all the time in my trapper keeper. It is so dope! I remember I was 16 driving with my senior friend to the mall so he could get him a pair! I was so jelly at the time.

[@NyneElevun]

Watch every video even if I don’t care for the shoes. The knowledge about the products is A1!

[@davidjsouth231]

I had a pair of the original flight lites in 1991. Really light shoe and I wore them out playing ball. These your showing are a ‘92 retro

[@tguice76]

This video was the funniest I've seen from you guys in a while!!!! Super Dope, 100% accuracy!!! Salute to you guys as always.

[@johnnykilroy1966]

Wow this video was a rollercoaster ride of emotions, from excited about a sneaker to absolute disappointment all within 8mins. Also there was the added emotion of betrayal with thinking that Wesley Snipes wore these as Nike's product description claimed that this sneaker was the ''90s hoops shoe that ruled both the b-ball court and the big screen'. I'm still waiting for my pair to arrive & really hope that it doesn't arrive in some hideous quality control defying mess. Thanks for another honest & entertaining review Chris

[@toddcastaldi6536]

I was hoping for the Air Flight Lite, but this is aight… Great review, as always. Thank you.

[@amoore05359]

Been waiting for this video most definitely getting these

[@thepickle7757]

Wow these do bring a memory back of Mullin. When Chris pushing heel down looked to be pretty comfortable and being Lite

[@peejuu]

Actually played a game in this the other day Im 39 and was running around with 21 years old played my best game yet something about the solid feeling of the 90s shoes that makes me move differently compared to wearing modern shoes. Will definitely be grabbing another pair in another colour way.

[@twistit4844]

3:10 tongue looks like its living the way it moves😂

[@alexandrecaron1890]

I discover your channel with this review. Thank you a lot for this honest review, I didn’t expect that. They look amazing, too bad the quality isn’t as good as it should be. I’ve already ordered them, but I’ll look if I can find something better that will last me for longer. I’ll gladly watch your other videos.

[@TheLIn322]

I got mine. As soon as I saw them, I got them right away. It was a bit creased, but not as bad as yours. It’s not the first time Nike did Retros dirty. They don’t seem to give a crap.

[@MrJones208]

Thank you for this honest review of these shoes as was looking at these, Reebok BB4500 & the New Balance 650 for the retro look on the court. Will do more research but thanks for the heads up 🙂

[@d.felixphoto2260]

The new dad shoes for 80's/90's babies. I had a black nubuck pair back in the day. I need a pair again

[@brandonpaulin1595]

This is why when it comes to white sneaks, gotta run with the Superstar. Quality is always there and the leather is LEATHER.

[@OGeniusTheFirst]

Feel better man!

[@elementkx]

Flight and Huarache are the best logos (sans the Jordan Wings).

[@mikeandmars2345]

Yes bro facts 💯💯💯 nike air Revolution is not a bad logo to

[@albertknight1187]

I just bought a pair mine are not the greatest but they're decent had them in the 90s so my main reason for buying bcuz they're classic I'm 46 and I like that era 80s and 90s of nike was the best the shoes were made with love if you look at the show martin ,inliving color do the right thing fresh prince of belair nike was at the peak n better than any shoes out there I would love to see the 1989 solo flights nike come back

[@raymondduran6258]

Had the highs when I was a kid these definitely set in nostalgia will def cop me a pair!

[@TheDoozie43]

I had the black nubuck pippens and I loved them! The high tops too prior to those. Those were the days.

[@DennnnnnnY]

They came back out 2 weeks ago! Still sitting, got me a pair. Good quality on my pair surprisingly

[@xofyerg9832]

Man bought these last few days ago and for casual wear or going on they are nice and fit amazingly nice, as for on court I haven't broken them in too play but I've won them 3 times within this week and we're comfortable

[@4drumz-662]

My heart hurts 💔… 45 years old and I played a summer camp and league season in these back in high school. Was so JACKED for this release until the “real” product images began to surface revealing what your review confirmed 😞 Even if you get lucky with a pair out of the box that “looks” decent… that stiff material does not wear well at all and will simply distort anyway. I’ve gotta believe even bad nubuck on the black/white CW can save these for the purpose of wearing the nostalgia. Please do a review if they release those.

[@mTchongo]

Got'em! love these, look so clean! remind me of Pippen!

[@DavesGenny]

They need to bring the black versions. I had the Black version of these back in the day. Loved them. The mid version definitely was much more popular than the highs back in the day. These are classics. The Black version was the synthetic nubuck by the way, which in my opinion look better than the white versions with the synthetic regular leather.

[@scottcheng2557]

That was my favorite shoes back in my college playing days. I always wanted Nike to retro these but after watching your video, I am sure I will not pick it up. So sad.

[@essentialjordan23]

I honestly don’t even hope for a lot of 90s Nike basketball to come back because I know they’re gonna be half assed, I mean look at what they did to the Flight ‘89

[@rdubbskiis]

Agreed...I have so much nostalgia that gets ruined because of the poor quality. OG Jordan's get cheap materials but the collabs are all premium, why?

[@raymondsterodi-jet8638]

90's shoes are always Fire

[@808thegreat9]

Scottie Pippin also wore the black version of that pair in the 1992 championship against the Portland Trailblazers. I had Em.

[@jasongomez3601]

I remember, I had the original Air Flight 1s in high school, wore them for basketball. I had the all black with white swoosh, basically the color Scottie wore during the Bulls first title run. I loved the no swoosh on the inside, also so freaking comfortable and light. I am holding out hope that Nike retros those again. I did have the AFL 2s, but I have them in all black with blue trim, not really my favorite, they were ok, I am just a sucker for no swooshes on the inside of the shoe. I have been thinking about getting these, but if they all come like that, I will probably pass. I want Nike to retro more 90s and late 80s shoes (AFIII, Carnivore, Huarache BBall).

[@swebber5]

damn i was super keen on these thanks for putting this out before i did

[@variandavid377]

Been waiting on this particular video. Damn man!!l That’s all I can say. That FLIGHT logo though is super 90s…..I think I had a pair of bball shorts my mom got me (a few years later on sale) with that same or similar style Flight logo. Shoutout to Jodi….sliding in Julia Stiles in that poem scene from “10 Things I Hate About You”!!! #points

[@artedison2]

Peppers? These in the fall of 91 in black nubuck/suede coloway. Remember clearly cause I got a whole fit with them lol. Good ole days. Not a sneakerhead cant afford it but that shoe is one of my all time favorites. If they release that colorway I'm copping. Love you channel. You and the Mrs. are great together. Keep grinding

[@thashoeboy]

I love this shoe. Always wanted the black/white/red pair from the '92 playoffs

[@svt32vdohc]

Can't wait for the hoodie. Please offer a couple colors. Grey and black!!

[@kaidenrodriguez16]

Definitely copping these. Nike just need to retro all those OG nikes. Would love to see a retro of the Air Sabre Flights

[@jim.manning]

I had a pair in the black colourway back in the day. These were my beaters and my Reebok Pump SXT were my good pair. These were actually way more comfortable and light

[@eternalmind]

Just saw Hocus Pocus with my daughters. I think these were the kicks the bullies stole off of the main character’s feet at the beginning of the movie.

[@jaysonumlor2611]

I have been waiting on these forever! I had these in the black Charlotte color way. Still have them and a pair of deadstock shoes n the same color way and the high tops you pictured from 1992.

[@soildirty9469]

all black with the iridescent purple flight lite high top was the best shoe. dope nubuck. had in 7th grade

[@ShadVrinn]

I had the original Flight Lite back when I was a freshman in high school, back then the Flights were second only to the Jordans honestly. I had the Sonic Flight too, and the Maestro 2 and the Swift Flight.

[@xanidelacruz4284]

Been waiting for them to retro the black with white swoosh version.One of my favorite shoes of all time.

[@TheBrianIsley]

I went to Snipes yesterday, and the flights looked JUST like yours. Absolutely terrible. I walked smooth out.

[@genarosanchez3854]

Omg been waiting too long

[@DKriticos]

Damn! That upper reminds me of the white red 89s you put up a while ago. When the 89s came out almost 2 years ago I checked them out at Footlocker and didn't buy a pair because the feel were way off. Thanks for letting us all know!

[@stephenchristian3454]

Been waiting on these for a long while. Wanna see the black/white-cardinals with the white F on the midsole, and the black/graphites, too.

[@dallashkato32]

This video made me laugh with the extra stuff, I wish more KZbin videos were like this!

[@lancaster8739]

Mrs. NW might be right. Try putting your foot in it or a shoe tree to straighten out the uppers. Worth a shot. I love the flight lites. Def gonna try to get these in the collection.

[@forcesensitive6371]

I feel your pain Chris. I've bought 3 pairs of Jordans this year and I've had issues with the left foot on all 3 pairs! I think they pick people to troll.

[@gmc2345rx]

I had the black/maroon (suede) pair .. pippen wore them. I remember my mom got em for me at dillards clearance bins. No box, but man they were so good!

[@1andonlyhoncho]

The best thing about my favorite pair, the grey Solo Flight 1991’s was the quality of the nubuck… So I hope they would give those premium treatment. The modern retros in the Flight line all seem to have deplorable material quality. 😬

[@DanielSzilagyi]

Just got this in a black, purple and blue and they were in great shape. They are indeed super light, cozy and right on the size. I blindly ordered an 11 (my standard) and they are great. Sad that the bottom patch isn't more than the form but it doesn't seem too bad, also a bit sad to see non-real leather or even a good quality material and instead have it be this cheap. Lastly being in Canada I had to pay $160 for these...I love 'em but damn, Nike needs to do more.

[@sheldonmckenzieel2552]

Oh yeah BABY!!!! I loved these!!! I had the Air Flight Lite 1. Played in them outdoors. These are 1992, not 1991. You are correct bro. Cue the Reggie Miller commercial, "These are the lightest Nike basketball shoes on earth!" LOL! Man! And I am rehabbing a torn achilles at the moment! I would have loved to play in these. Oh well, maybe next year fall. Peace and love.

[@Angie_Onaleta]

Get better soon Chris! 🙏🏿

[@elementkx]

The NIKE LWP days were dope. They all felt like playing in lightweight foam shoes. My older bro always had them when they came out, cuz he was on the HS bball team. I had to rock them second hand. They kinda stunk, but felt great!

[@cashmerefunk2136]

Just passing thur💯 after all these years everything old is new again. i can't believe i gave away all my old sneaker i had a pair when i was a kid i don't know what i know now if... if only what i know now can somebody built a time machine so i can go back and get all my old sneaker ✌

[@gunpla_sk8]

The Instagram story was legendary Nike must listen 😤

[@GeoffSweet]

Have they ever done a retro of the original, Low, Black and white Flight Lite? That's what I want.

[@josephp1236]

Honest review why does Nike continue to try to get over

[@JaviBugatti]

Hey bro… I just received mine from Nike and they didn’t come with that dent like yours did, they actually look perfect. I believe the problem was the person from where you got them from especially if he is telling you they all look like that…

[@WearTesters]

The retailers get them from Nike so it would ultimately be a Nike issue. It's great that you've gotten a good looking pair, but we have received many emails and DM's showing poorly crafted pairs.

[@danpatmac]

Bought these in the black colourway in 92. Beat them to death. I've been waiting for decades for them to return... this is disappointing. I'm still gonna buy them tho... because, I'm a sucker.

[@josephberotte2135]

A black hoodie with 1976 and a Pro leather on it.💡

[@HightopRob]

Good grief Nike they need to get their quality control in order and also get well Chris my mom is recovering from a cold

[@joebowers3636]

I had this shoe in dark gray/black back in 1993. I can't find any pics online of that color way, but I know it existed. Would love it if they released that color way.

[@JXsneakerhead]

I've been waiting 4 this one..ruined or not lol 🔥 what could've been! I had a red nubuck pair back in the day such a clean shoe!

[@GenXcollector]

Didn't get those back in the day, but always liked them.

[@UNDFTDGordon]

I tried on a pair today and they feel great. They’re going for like $80 on StockX so I’ll buy around Christmas time. I ordered the Air Jordan 7 Cardinal so I want to wait before buying another shoe.

[@RoboticArmy88]

Well damn, I was going to cop a pair but I’ll pass now…Thanks for the review.

[@burnett589]

I hope nike retro the one Pippen and Mullin wore in the 92 Olympics

[@patinabox5537]

Great video..I was looking forward to these..I got them from Nike online and they look like yours.. there all fooked up...the uppers are trash..sent them right back.. great looking sneakers but the materials..😭..I'm from the UK and love your videos great work..keep it up..👍

[@soulfinger8171]

Reminds me when Nike drop the ball on the air up retro and turned them into tap dance shoes

[@Drew.Whitcomb]

I gotta wonder if the product line manager wasn’t able to travel to Indonesia to check on the output due to Covid. I hope that’s how it got screwed up and it wasn’t someone just willfully screwing up at their job.

[@Dnice9737]

Very glad they didn’t do my Nike Air Command Force shoes like this as far as quality. I’ll look for the Flights at the outlet.

[@martina387]

I just got the light blue ones. They were placed in the box like they didn't care when they packed them. They were kinda smashed at the toe, and there was glue spots like they didn't care when they did the job. Someone was in a rush when they made them

[@intensevenom]

Also hope they re-release my other favs of this era like the Air bound, air maestro low, and the air spat

[@Benny_From_NY]

They don’t come with shoe tree paper?

[@brackston7]

Love this! Can you do a review on the “SNKRS day” Jordan 1 lows

[@ericfresh]

I had these in black & teal back in the day would love another pair

[@DavesGenny]

I actually had the black and teal pair as well I believe that was the first black version that came out, but my Nike emblem was defective so I took them back to the store and the store had the Black and White version which I sort of liked a little bit better and got those.

[@jakubgorecki2937]

could you please let me know if they have "contains synthetic upper materials" sticker? because nike site in my country list them as full leather shoes

[@Tiger24kicks]

Oh my god this was my first Nike sneaker it was all black & gold

[@wdgray]

Surprisingly I don’t remember these, but if the nubuck ones are better quality… might have to grab a pair. The silhouette kinda reminds me of The Hyperfuse

[@michaeldouglas5679]

I F with these bud hard. Not hard enough though. I’m waiting for the black pair. Hope they release. These shoes and Scottie Pippen is what got me hooked. It was over with when the Maestro 1s came out in black and white too!!

[@killingmyselftolive2526]

I had the black and purple Air Flight Lites back in '91, man they were so dope, but the traction was terrible, you'd be sliding all over the court....the look was one of a kind though, unlike these Plain-Jane specials you'd find at Academy

[@daddyrare]

92 my brother got the Black pair and was trying to dunk on people!

[@randomhajile]

had the black/magenta/teal ones in 92, the upper should be that light "durabuck", which the aj4/5 had back then, which i think has never been reproduced properly in retro

[@killthekaiju9219]

If you get em in the white/red colorway they have a Pippen logo on the insole.
