Jordan Brand is celebrating the 30th anniversary of Michael Jordan’s eighth signature sneaker, the Air Jordan 8. On that occasion, a special edition Jordan 8 ‘Playoff’ will be released soon as part of the brand’s Fall 2023 lineup. The 2023 edition of the popular sneaker is a nod to the history and legacy of the Jordan 8 silhouette and closely follows the original specifications from 1993.

Let’s take a closer looks at the iconic sneaker releasing this September:

Air Jordan 8 History

Three decades ago, Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls achieved the first of two consecutive championship three-peats in the history of the franchise. During that unforgettable series against the Phoenix Suns, Jordan sported the iconic “Playoffs” Air Jordan 8, which featured a signature black and red color scheme that had become synonymous with his postseason style. This memorable game marked a significant moment in Jordan’s career, as it propelled the Chicago Bulls to their first three consecutive NBA Championships and earned Jordan his third consecutive Finals MVP title.

The Air Jordan 8 sneaker is renowned for its unique and distinctive design elements that set it apart in the Jordan Brand lineup. It features a high-top silhouette that provides excellent ankle support and stability, making it a popular choice among basketball players. One of its standout features is the iconic cross-strap design that not only adds a bold aesthetic but also enhances the shoe’s lockdown fit. The shoe’s upper is often crafted from premium materials like nubuck or leather, ensuring durability and a luxurious feel. A chenille Jumpman logo on the tongue, along with embroidered “23” detailing, adds a touch of nostalgia and authenticity. The shoe’s cushioning is typically provided by encapsulated Air-Sole units in the midsole, offering responsive comfort during wear. Finally, the outsole features a multicolor design with a prominent Jumpman logo, adding a stylish and recognizable touch to this classic silhouette.

SSENSE GLOBAL

The Air Jordan 8 Playoffs were most recently released in 2013. Excitingly, this sought-after colorway of the iconic sneaker is set for a comeback in 2023. It’s a tribute to the shoes that Michael Jordan sported during Game 6 of the 1993 NBA Finals against the Phoenix Suns.

Jordan 8 ‘Playoff’ Design

Dressed in a color palette of Black, True Red, and White, this iteration of the Air Jordan 8 remains true to its original release. It retains the iconic graphic overlays on the mudguards and outsole, preserving the classic design elements. In a nod to the OG version, the shoe will sport Red pull tabs rather than the Black ones seen in previous retros.

Let’s take a look at the key design characteristics:

Premium Materials: The shoe is made from premium jet-black nubuck, which is a high-quality suede-like material, adding a touch of luxury to the design.

Chenille Branding: Chenille is a fabric often used for creating textured logos and patches. The use of chenille branding on the shoe likely adds a nostalgic touch, as this was a popular design element in the 1990s.

Graphic Liners: Graphic liners inside the shoe could feature designs or patterns that pay homage to the original release or other elements of Michael Jordan’s career.

Sidewall Graphic: The mention of a sidewall graphic returning is significant. It indicates that the shoe will have a design element on the side that has not been seen since 2013. This graphic might be a unique feature of this special edition.

Color Accents: The shoe appears to have bright red accents on the heel tab and the stitched “#23” on the shroud. Additionally, concord blue accents are mentioned for the tread, adding color contrast to the predominantly black design.
