Air Jordan 8 Retro "Aqua" (2025)

The 2025 Air Jordan 8 Retro “Aqua” marks a faithful revival of the iconic 1993 All-Star colorway, famously worn by Michael Jordan. It features a black and Iron Grey nubuck upper complemented by ribbed suede overlays, preserving the OG silhouette’s textured depth. Brushstroke-inspired Aquatone (teal) and Bright Concord (purple) accents sweep across the sculpted midsole—replacing the heavier glitter found in earlier reissues—while vibrant yellow highlights on the outsole add that extra pop of color. The sneaker stays true to Tinker Hatfield’s original design with its signature tri-color chenille tongue patch bearing a red Jumpman, midfoot cross-strap system for lockdown and layered style, and a neoprene inner bootie for a snug fit. Underfoot, the firm polyurethane midsole houses visible Nike Air units in both the heel and forefoot for stable, court-ready cushioning, while the outsole employs multi-directional traction with a pivot circle—ideal for quick cuts.
