The Air Jordan 8 Retro Silhouette Welcomes Chrome in 2003

The AJ VIII features a two cross-strap design around the laces, which distinguishes it from other Air Jordan models and retains its legacy as a signature '90s trainer style. The silhouette is renowned for its iconic chenille tongue graphic design.

When the Jordan 8 Retro Low was introduced in 2003, it featured a low-top silhouette and one cross-strap detail around the laces. Otherwise, it maintained the Jordan 8's original design integrity.

History of Air Jordan 8

The Air Jordan 8 holds a lot of sentimental significance to sneakerheads and collectors. It first released in 1993 - the year of MJ's "three-peat" championship season. The AJ XIII is also distinguished for being the last shoe Michael Jordan wore before his first retirement.

Created by the legendary designer Tinker Hatfield, the Air Jordan 8 initially released at a retail price of 125 USD. Highly sought-after models that carry significant resale values include the Air Jordan 8 Retro DB Doernbecher colourway (400 to 1,200 USD), the OVO collection (350 to 500 USD) and the coveted Air Jordan 8 PE series that can fetch anywhere from 2,500 to over 10,000 USD.

Other noteworthy, collectable styles include the Jordan 8 Retro in Champagne and Bugs Bunny colourways, which resale for around 225 to 500 USD and 200 to 450 USD, respectively.

As one of the first non-original colourway releases on the Air Jordan 8 silhouette, the Chrome colourway debuted in 2003 with a Black durabuck upper and grey and white accents. An adjustable Velcro cross strap is coated in black and features a metallic clasp to offer added customization. A black, grey, and white brushstroke pattern appears on the side panels, and the midsole is coated in a dark grey. The brush stroke pattern continues on the bottom of the trainer, which reveals a tri-coloured arch underneath its black tread. A white Jordan Jumpman logo appears at the top of the tread on the toe.
