Jordan 8 Retro C&C Confetti Shoes Provide Fun Colour

The AJ VIII features a two cross-strap design around the laces, which distinguishes it from other Air Jordan models and retains its legacy as a signature '90s trainer style. The silhouette is renowned for its iconic chenille tongue graphic design.

When the Jordan 8 Retro Low was introduced in 2003, it featured a low-top silhouette and one cross-strap detail around the laces. Otherwise, it maintained the Jordan 8's original design integrity.

History of Air Jordan 8

The Air Jordan 8 holds a lot of sentimental significance to trainer heads and collectors. It first released in 1993 - the year of MJ's "three-peat" championship season. The AJ XIII is also distinguished for being the last shoe Michael Jordan wore before his first retirement.

Created by the legendary designer Tinker Hatfield, the Air Jordan 8 initially released at a retail price of 125 USD. Highly sought-after models that carry significant resale values include the Air Jordan 8 Retro DB Doernbecher colourway (400 to 1,200 USD), the OVO collection (350 to 500 USD) and the coveted Air Jordan 8 PE series that can fetch anywhere from 2,500 to over 10,000 USD.

Other noteworthy, collectable styles include the Jordan 8 Retro in Champagne and Bugs Bunny colourways, which resale for around 225 to 500 USD and 200 to 450 USD, respectively.

The Air Jordan 8 retro confetti shoes are a fun twist on black Jordans. At first glance, the shoe looks like a pair of black, high-top Jordan 8s made of leather. However, a speckled pattern of red, blue, yellow, and white decorates the heel, tongue, and sole of these shoes. Further decoration comes from the metallic gold buckle on the side and the gold Jumpman logo on the tongue of the shoe. The thickly padded leather upper features crisscrossing straps for stability and perforated sides for extra breathability. The rubber sole provides you with both flexibility and sturdiness.
