Jordan Brand revives a fan-favorite with the 2025 reissue of the Air Jordan 8 Bugs Bunny. The shoe captures the original 1993 design: white leather across the upper, perforated quarter-panels, grey synthetic suede around the heel and collar, and mid-foot straps that secure the fit. The reissue retains the chenille Jumpman patch on the tongue and the distinct brush-stroke pattern on the heel overlays, rendered in grey, red, and black.
SNEAKERS
The original Air Jordan 8 was built with two crossover straps instead of traditional laces, a choice that gave the shoe a unique silhouette and firm lockdown. The 2025 edition preserves that construction. The white leather upper and perforations support breathability and structure. The grey suede heel and collar create contrast while maintaining the original model’s look.
Visual details give the shoe character. The chenille Jumpman patch on the tongue remains a standout feature. The heel overlays return with their signature multi-color brush-stroke treatment, and white TPU elements frame the heel for subtle reinforcement and stylistic fidelity to the OG.
Jordan Brand schedules the reissue for December 20, 2025. The release will cover full-family sizes, making the sneaker available to both adult and youth wearers. The style code reads 305381-100. The retail price is $210, consistent with other recent retro releases.
The “Bugs Bunny” nickname traces back to the early ’90s marketing campaigns in which the shoe appeared alongside the Looney Tunes character. That pairing helped embed this version of the Air Jordan 8 in sneaker lore. The colorway carried red, black, and white tones that aligned with the then-popular Bulls aesthetic, and the crossover strap design plus bold heel pattern distinguished the model from prior releases.
This reissue arrives after several previous retros, including drops in 2003, 2008, and 2013. This 2025 release gives collectors and new fans alike a chance to own the pair in fresh condition while staying faithful to the original design.
