The Air Jordan 8 ‘Aqua’ is back in 2025 for its third retro since its 1993 debut. First seen during the NBA All-Star Game in Salt Lake City, the Aqua 8s turned heads. Michael Jordan dropped 30 points that night while wearing the now-iconic colorway. That was also the only time he wore them on court.
The Aqua 8 features a black and grey nubuck suede upper. Blue and purple graphics on the midsole and mudguard complete the signature look. The chenille tongue patch adds color with purple, aqua, and a red Jumpman logo. The 8’s signature cross-strap locks down the foot for added support.
This release includes Nike Air cushioning in the forefoot and heel for better comfort. An internal sleeve provides a snug and stable fit during wear. Whether you’re a hooper or collector, these kicks check every box. The craftsmanship and OG vibes make this pair a must-cop.
You can grab the Aqua 8s via SNKRS and major Jordan retailers like Foot Locker and JD Sports. A full-size run will be available for the whole family. Men’s pairs are priced at $215, so plan ahead. With wide distribution, this drop should be an easy win if you’re ready. For more releases check out our weekly rundown.
