Air jordan VIII Playoffs -Sep 30th - Updated:First official look!!

[Magic33]

They normally shock drop OG and big releases

 

[g-time]

Well the release is like 2 weeks away. Wouldn't be much of a shock. They usually upload official pics a few weeks out.

 

[kyrieaustin]

Lol not how that works

So it’s gotta be released to the public to be a OG colorway? Even tho Mike himself played in em?

 

[g-time]

Original run, original drop.

I’m actually surprised they never did a Jordan 8 where the African style print was on the side panels of the shoe so it’s more visible, kinda like the crazy artwork on the straps and midsole of the Air Raid. I could have seen that being one of the original colorways of the Jordan 8

They did a weird retro + version of this a few years back.

That's reminds me need some new and improved air raids

I remember copping these joints from Snipes. Been a minute since I've rocked them, but maybe I'll break them out for the office visit next week.

Getting stupid hype for em.....we haven't had a OG 8 to drop since what...black friday 2015 with the aquas?? That's wild.....these "ant bed stompers" going straight to feet.

I remember these, i thought they could have been a lot better, especially if they used the real African print from the air raids.

What i meant is that where the ballistic mesh is on these 8s, they put the print in those panels. I’ll photoshop a quick execution to show what it would look like in those panels

Something like this would have made a great OG colorway for the 8s and would have fit perfectly with the Urban Jungle line from 1993

Tbh it'd be better with the midsole vinyl parts and the sockliner with this print

If they took the print off the upper and just place it on the inner sock and the side panels above te midsole, they would look dope! Leave the midsole black.

It’s a crime how Nike hasn’t retroed the Air Raid 2 in the urban jungle colorway from 93…smh

[spoonmanofthehour]

[atldunkman]

Anyone remember how the sizing is on 8’s?

 

[g-time]

TTS

 

[zombiejohnny]

Idk why but I found 8's to be one of the more narrow toebox Jordan retros.
