Air Jordan 8

Previous
Next

The Air Jordan 8 is Michael Jordan’s eighth signature basketball shoe and was released in 1993. MJ would use these uber 90s beauties to cap off his first “Three-Peat”. The Jordan 8 was another Tinker Hatfield concoction and would end up as the last shoes MJ would wear before retiring. 

The Jordan 8 features a leather upper, cross straps for added support, forefoot and heel Zoom Air units, and excellent traction. It is perhaps the best performer of all the Air Jordan models from the Bulls’ first three championships. 

AVERAGE RETAIL PRICE: $190
