More About The Air Jordan 8 “Bugs Bunny”
Despite a lack of imagery and direct references to Bugs Bunny, the AJ8 colourway has strong ties to the well-known Looney Tunes character. This is largely owed to the ‘Hare Jordan’ campaign of the 1990s. The iconic campaign saw the rabbit collaborate with Michael Jordan himself to produce several memorable ads promoting the shoe, cementing its place in sneaker history.
The sneakers, first introduced in 1993, have since become a mainstay of the Air Jordan collection, with retro versions released in 2003, 2008, and 2013 to the delight of many fans. So, it’s been a long time since sneakerheads have had a chance to grab a pair of these iconic “Hare Jordan” sneakers without resorting to paying resale prices.
A Closer Look At The Sneaker
The colourway features a predominantly white leather upper with black accents on the tongue, inner lining, and the model’s characteristic midfoot strap. Red and grey patterning on the heel and midsole add a pop of colour, while red, blue and grey accents on the chenille tongue patches complete the look.
