Air Jordan VIII 8 "Playoffs" Returns. Release day- 6/29/13

[617collector]

Also I put my Aquas next to the bugs bunnies from this year and the entire shoe is a bit wider and shorter as well. The hight isn't noticeable unless you put them side by side but then again it could be because those are made out of leather an these are made out of durabuck.

I'll try to compare my Aquas with the knicks 8 when I get them since those are made out of the same material as the playoffs.

Tongue seems shorter

The fur looks flat on the 2013 compared to the 2007.  Looks like it isn't even 3D at all.

it fades after a few pairs but thought it was a dope feature. the ogs had that feature as well.

i think ill be passing on these. i literally only wore my 07 playoffs 4X before i sold them.

 

[Magic33]

I always wondered why the playoffs didn't have the cracking problems the aquas had

I haven't seen a comparison side by side review but by the leaked pictures the only difference is the OG textured nubuck which the 2007 had but this years retro doesn't.

2007


2013



Everything else is pretty much identical

Yeah this years is all nubuck. Didnt they change the tongue? Something seems off about it

durabuck folks......durabuck...

it doesn't fade, its embossed on da durabuck...

da lowtops in 2003 also had it as well.

Now if only JB would stick to Durabuck on next years Infrared VI's. Otherwise, I'm going to be super pi**ed.

We're all speculation that those are coming back out because of the anniversary.

For example:
2011 retro 3's
2012 retro 4's
2013 retro 5's

If they offer up another ashy suede model >:

 

[nydunkhead]

I wish they would make all the 6's like the DMP those things are beautiful

 

[footsoldier]

Bruh, where you been?! Haven't seen your creepy posts around in a while. lol when you PS'd jordan23dotcom's avi and added elephant mans head then used it for a while, I would spit my drink out laughin every time you posted.

HA!

That's the main reason why I sold my 2010's. Hopefully Durabuck and "true" infrared this time. Wasn't too impressed with the infrared package either.

Back to the 8's. Hoping to get two pairs of these mainly because I like black based shoes. Picked up doubles on the 3's, 4's and 11's. So these will be no different.
