Air Jordan 8 (VIII) Original (OG) - Aquas (Black / Bright Concord - Aqua Tone)

The Air Jordan 8 (VIII) Original (OG) - Aquas (Black / Bright Concord - Aqua Tone) were released in February, 1993, and retailed for $125. They were very popular, especially among Jordan fanatics. They feature an all black upper constructed from durabuck, along with anti-inversion cross straps, poly carbonate torsion plate, air sole, and an inner sock similar to the Nike Air Huarache. They also feature aqua and purple highlights on the bottom of the she, as well as on the infamous logo on the tongue. These are said to be the heaviest of the Air Jordans, but some say that once you put them on, you don’t feel the weight. The only knock on them is that they are really not breathable, which may be the reason that Michael Jordan suffered from athlete’s foot infections throughout the 92 - 93 season.
