The Air Jordan VIII was
released to coincide with the
1992-1993 NBA season.
The eighth model of the Air
Jordan was noticeably heavier
than its predecessors. Its
base was clearly close to that
of the Air Jordan VII model,
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
known as the "flower-power
Air Jordan". This shoe was
only made in three different
color combinations. The shoes
were produced in less
quantity than the VII. The Air
Jordan VIII was re-retroed in
September of 2007 in its aqua
and black/red color along with
a navy and orange and a
white and orange colorway.
