The Air Jordan Retro VIII Men's LS is scheduled to release on Sept. 29th at Jordan Brand Lifestyle accounts for a retail of $145.

Much better than anticpated!
They're GGGGGGGRRRRRRR88888888!!!
niceeeeeeee
hmmm that midnight blue tripped me for a second. This shoe is not growing on me for some reason. New color ways in this shoe are needed. Dont know my feelings yet.
eww no no no no no no no not feeling this colorway at all
That sh*t is digusting. Looks like Jordan is taking their recent inspiration from all the fake J's on the internet. Yuck.
dam....to much like the citrus 7z to me..kinda predictable
pass
i agree wit comment 6.... seriously
dats just nasty
I like em. I don't know, I think i'd like em more if they were black and orange.
These are going to sell out no matter what you think
So what the fuss
Those are nice. I'll snatch sum up just becuz it gives me a reason to cop a M&N NY Knicks jersey...imagine the look on a loyal knicks fans face we they see me with a Ewing, Starks, or Oakley throwback on...
AJ 8's -- $160
M&N NYK Jersey -- $350
The look on a true knickerbockers face, and him/her chasin' me down the street -- Priceless
personally i am with the others here and on ISS. what is up with all the orange.. i understand mj is with the bobcats now but who really rocks orange...release the aqua..the black/red i see in october and the kobe colorway from 03..holla!
they look like some fake Js for real. i'm passing...the aquas drop the week b4 so i wont even think about these
ill walk in a store on the release date and see em in person if they koo then ill cop. if not then ill pass. and if they sell out its not the end of the world. these can be passed on easily.
Atck I must agree with you and say they are jacking fake color ways and making the real....but hey you can't deny ulgy shoes when you seen them...and these are ulgy shoes in general
hot garbage VIII's with a NY Knicks (garbage team) jersey..word EM UP!!!
WOW WORST 8'S EVER!!! THESE ARE A DISGRACE TO JORDAN BRAND
That midnight navy looks black, and I'm glad that there's mixed feelings about these shoes cause that will make it easier for me to cop em.
These look like Player Exclusive colors.
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THESE...THE DO LIKE SOME $85 J'S U BUY ON THESE FAKE WEBSITES!!
they look better than i thought they would.
UGLY *** HELL!!!! what are they doing!!
these look like fakes to me to much orange, ill pass
very nice 2 pairs no question
MAN THESE R HOT IMA COPP
o my lord, these are so sick, to nice, to sweet. i must get this when they *** out no matter wat the cost is.when nike retro's the 8's i get so excited, like really, i cant contain myself, but enjoy this 1 ahah!!!
these is very sick, but still i got my eyes on the aqua 8s before anything.
No thanks.
Word im wit comment 15 all the way, lol.... F$#% these jump offz ^-^
the orange sets it off.
YEA THESE IS IGHT ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THERE LIMITED!!! IF YOU NOE HOW TO GET FRESH YOULL CRUSH THESE RIGHT!!!!!
imho, i like the retro aquas better. 1st because the retro aquas are pretty close to the original all-star coloway and 2nd because i personally don't like the midnight navy/orange blaze/peapod color combination. the only plus these have on the aquas is that the 23 is stitched on. but to each his own...
are they gonna release any VIII lows?
nope, not happnin
citrus viii's ugly
LIK CUS CED...JORDAN NEED 2 STICK 2 DA BASIC...STOP TRYIN 2 COMPETE WIT DA BOOTLEG J'S WIT ALL OF D'S BOGGISH ASZ COLORS! N DAY NEED 2 STOP USIN DOS UGLY ASZ LASER PRINTS...STICK 2 WIT GOT U DIS FAR...DA BASICS...BLK WHT RED GREY BLUE...NOT YELLOW GREEN GOLD N ORANGE!
Word CAGE !!!! These are WACK !!!! This is for the NEW JACKS that never seen Jordan play live on nyc NBC 4 vs the KNICKS ...Keep these craps !
these aren't gettin it done for me... i'll pass
THESE LOOK BOOY LEG!!..BJ NEED'S 2 STICK 2 DA O.G'S!
They are cool ill cop if i come across them
DAMN FUGAZI'S !!!!
that is tooo much swade i'll have to pass just because like very jodan brand shoe with tto much swade all its gonna do is the ink is gonna fade on u , good looking shoe but ill pass.
Garbage seen the fake ones already.......
I THINK ITS FLAVAS THAT JORDAN IS COMMIN OUT WITH DIFFERENT COLORWAYS, CAUSE IF YOU A REAL JORDAN FAN, YOU ALREADY HAVE ALL THE OG COLORS IN ABUNDANCE, PLUS ITS MORE FUN TRYIN TO MATCH THE NEW STUFF, I COULD DEF LIVE WITHOUT ALL THE LASER NONSENSE THOUGH...
these is crack dont fight it.sell offfffffff
Forget what all yall sayin, these 8's are the best comin out this year, and the 8's are the best shoes to come out of the air jordan retro line. No questions asked.
these jordan's are fresh! i like them better than the aquas. too bad these shoes are not going to be in kid's sizes =(
YA NIGGAZ IZ STUPID IF U DON'T LIKE THESE KIX , THATS HOW U CAN TELL WHO REALLY KNOWS ABOUT JORDANS , THIS KIX IZ B-U-T-FUL
Jay and Lt , is right.
Any new colorway will look like fakes by definition. Jesus christ, think about what you're saying.
That being said, I'll probably get these
Gene...i feel you man..Every color way will look fake, but its when they start putting some kind of safari print, or elephant print, or patent, something like that turns it to filth..We are entering the second generation of jordans, its sad to see new color ways just cause we all love the oldies but it has to happen.
THEY RUINING THIS SNEAKER....REACHING A LIL 2 HARD PUMP YOUR BRAKES GENTRY
gettin dem n da aqua blues
getting dem
Looks like a 28th Street and Broadway special goin' on here. I can't. I think I saw a pair in the same colorway on BlazinJays.com or some **** like that. Loyal Jordan fan since I was able to wear kicks. I hope Humphrey and JB don't start to take inspiration from the fugazy stuff out there.
yea deez is fresh guranteed cop
im an OG brotha but them joints is just TOOO HOT!!!!
NICE HOMIES!!!!
No one wears throwbacks anymore and i agree with comment 6 these are already out on my block
this is just wrong.theyre hidious. good thing the aquas r comin out first. and who wears jerseys
this is a beautiful shoe
Goes along with all the other ugly VIII's except for the Aquas.
now wat kan i say UUGGGS man J.B once agian im disappointed y navy n blu r u serious i wish tinker hatfield was still around
If Gerald Wallace doesn't sport those next season, I'll be supremely pissed.
those are hard!!
Nike could mess up a wet dream...releasing a classic and turnin' it to garbage to accomidate the masses of teenie boppers...As a collector I'm very disappointed...I was all for the black/chrome new colorways that was release accouple years back...but, I feel as if they're takin' it to fair w/ releasing all these new colorways back to back...just my personal oppion...keep it movin'!
i think these will be underated sneakers....i think they are pretty good and i think wiht the bobcats jersey.....u'll be good money....the navy blue tricked me at first cuz i thought it was black...i was so hyped but wen i saw it was navy blue i calmed down a little....pretty decent
sick i always wanted The Home Depot to due a limited jordan!!! pause ...... not . also it looks like something someone who sells fake jordans would have, maybe clear VIII's would be a great idea next JB . leave the shoes alone give us og colorways stop limiting them.
man whoever dissin da jays just saying that cuz they broke and they cant grab em dem shoes is nasty and yall talkin bout they ugly what wrong with yall fools.
First off post 70(ICEY) , if you could spell in English it'd be much appriciated. To my main point, HA....you were joking right? I'd rather spend that 150 some odd dollars on gas than waste it on these..."things". You keep showing us broke people how fly you are! LOL
marty leave the kid alone all he's doing is stateting his opinion as far as the shoes go when i first saw them i figured they would be black but after noticing they are navy im not going to get them they a nice buy but not for my pockets i want jb to bring back the nine's
Yeah Dey Go.....
Them Is Hella Ugly Ya Dig Me
