Why the Air Jordan 8 Is Unique

The Air Jordan 8 features two crossed straps (or "cross straps") that lock down the ankle for unparalleled stability – a design element found on no other Air Jordan. The fuzzy, chenille Jumpman logo on the tongue gives the shoe a playful, almost childlike quality that's become iconic. Michael Jordan wore the Air Jordan 8 during the 1992-93 season, when the Bulls won their third consecutive championship – the first "three-peat" in franchise history.

Most Popular Men's Air Jordan 8 Colorways

"Chrome" (black and chrome) – a modern, elegant colorway. For more men's options, visit Men's Air Jordan 7.

How to Wear and Care for Air Jordan 8

The crossed straps are functional – you can adjust them for a customized fit. The fuzzy chenille logo is delicate – only spot-clean it with a dry cloth. The chunky silhouette pairs best with wider pants like cargo pants or loose-fit jeans. The shoe runs slightly large – consider going down half a size if you have narrow feet.
