Air Jordan 8 Retro: the sneaker of the Bulls' first three-peat

1993: the Air Jordan 8 and the first three-peat

Released in 1993, the Air Jordan 8 is another Tinker Hatfield creation for Michael Jordan. MJ wore it through the 1992-93 season, which ended with a third straight NBA title for the Chicago Bulls: the first three-peat of the Jordan era. It was also the last signature shoe he wore on court before announcing his first retirement in October 1993. Backed by the ad campaigns pairing Michael Jordan with Bugs Bunny, the Jordan 8 became one of the defining sneakers of the 90s.

Cross straps and chenille: the Jordan 8 design

With the Jordan 8, Hatfield focused on lockdown and visual impact. Two cross straps secure the foot, an idea carried over from the Nike Air Raid. A large round chenille patch on the tongue shows off the Jumpman, while a graphic TPU piece wraps the heel. Inside, a neoprene bootie hugs the foot and Air cushioning sits in the sole. Leather, nubuck and textured details give it a sturdy, almost architectural look that makes it one of the boldest shapes in the line.

Air Jordan 8 colourways: Chrome, Bugs Bunny, Aqua

Three original colourways landed in 1993: Bugs Bunny in white, black and red, Playoffs in black and red, and Aqua, linked to the All-Star Game. Today the collection features the Air Jordan 8 Retro Chrome, first released in 2003, with black nubuck, chrome-effect side panels and a chenille tongue in a sleek tonal look. For the little ones, the legendary Bugs Bunny is available in kids' and toddler sizes, a great way to pass the 1993 legacy on to the next generation.

How to wear Air Jordan 8 sneakers

As a chunky mid-top, the Air Jordan 8 loves outfits with some volume. The all-black Chrome works with slim black jeans, technical cargos or a tracksuit, making it the go-to pair for a monochrome city look. Contrasting colourways like Bugs Bunny lift a simple fit of raw denim and a white tee. Keep the straps on show by avoiding trousers that are too long, as they are part of the Jordan 8's identity. The kids' pairs are tough enough for school and weekends alike.
