The 8 Best Jordan 8 Retro Sneakers Of All Time

Megan Oosthuizen

Nike's groundbreaking deal with Michael Jordan changed sneaker history, especially in 1993 when the Air Jordan 8 debuted for the first time. What followed was some of the best colourways we have ever seen.

Released in 2018, this colourway was designed by Drake for his OVO brand for family and friends and then released commercially.

Gifted to Drake personally by Nike, it would be a miracle if you have ever seen these in person.

The darker counterpart to the white pair mentioned earlier, this pair is just as beautiful, and a perfect lifestyle pair.

OVO x Air Jordan VIII "Black"

Originally worn by Kobe Bryant during the 2003 playoffs, this pair was retro-ed in 2015 for us all to enjoy.

Air Jordan 8 "Black Chrome"

This 2017 was an imaginative pair designed to represent what MJ could have worn during the 1993 Chicago Bulls home game.

Air Jordan VIII "Alternate"

Historic for many reasons, this colourway was the first-ever female exclusive colourway for the AJ8 silhouette.

Air Jordan VIII Retro "White Aqua"

Thought of as the darker, male-inclusive variant of the "White Aqua" pair, this colourway brought out the darker side of the "Aqua" colours.

You know Nike loves to celebrate Valentine's Day, and 2018 marked the year that the AJ8 got it's turn.
