The Nike Air Jordan 8 (VIII) was released during the 1992-1993 NBA season.The 8th model of the Nike Air Jordan was noticeably heavier than its predecessors. Its base was clearly close to the Air Jordan VII modle, but it had a lot more details, including two crossover straps on each shoe and a furry Jumpman logo. Thus the Air Jordan VIII model became that famous as the "flower-power Air Jordan".
   This Air Jordan shoe was only made in three different color combinations before 1993. The shoes were produced in less quantity than the Air Jordan 7. The Air Jordan VIII was re-retroed in September 2007 in its aqua and black/red color along with a navy and orange and a white and orange colorway.
