👟 Design Breakdown
Back like it never left—the Air Jordan 8 Retro 'Aqua' (2025) revives one of the most iconic OG colorways from Michael Jordan’s early ‘90s run. First debuted in 1993 and brought back in 2007 and 2015, this 2025 release stays true to the roots.
The upper features a smooth black and grey nubuck base, hugged by the signature cross-strap design for that unique AJ8 silhouette. A splash of nostalgia hits hard with a multicolor chenille tongue patch, housing the crimson Jumpman logo. On the sides, a teal midsole splashed with violet brush strokes adds contrast and charisma.
