Take a Look at the Air Jordan 8 OG Aqua
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 trainer heads 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.
Released in February 1993, the Air Jordan 8 OG Aqua blends a catchy look with impressive performance. Its bold details include the crisscrossed straps, a chenille tongue, and a black durabuck upper. The pair also features a polycarbonate torsion plate on the sole for better cushioning and stability. What draws attention to the OG is its bright concord and aqua midsole highlights. The midsole also has sparkly flecks that add refined detail to it. The Jordan 8 OG colour highlights are found on the infamous Jumpman logo, too, and on the outsole part of the pair.
