Air Jordan 8 (VIII)

The release of the Air Jordan 8

Filled with as much detail as hand washed car, the Air Jordan 8 is arguably the greatest form of art out of the whole Jordan line.  Released in 1992, these sneakers featured heavier weight, two crossover straps, and a fuzzy Jordan Jumpman logo on the tongue.  Because of that, they were dubbed “Flower-Power Air Jordans.” Only 3 different colorways were made in this style.

Retro Jordans were few and far between

The retro Jordans were released in September of 2007.  They would come in an aqua and black/red color along with a navy and orange and a white and orange colorway.  Since the quality of the originals were not to brag upon, the retro Jordans were a lot more durable.
