Summer 2025 will see the return of the Air Jordan 8 “Aqua”—the iconic shoe worn by Michael Jordan during the 1993 NBA All-Star Game.

The AJ8 “Aqua” boasts a design that’s both familiar and fresh. The upper is crafted from premium nubuck, offering a luxurious feel. Pops of color throughout the shoe, including the tri-tone chenille Jumpman on the tongue, add a touch of personality that nods to the original AJ8 design.

Inspired by Tinker Hatfield’s innovative Air Raid silhouette, the Nike Air Jordan 8 “Aqua” also features a midfoot strap for enhanced stability. This complements the shoe’s inner bootie system, providing a locked-in fit.

As one of the three original colorways that debuted in 1993, the Nike Air Jordan 8 “Aqua” is definitely a sought-after silhouette. Keep it locked to SNKRDUNK Magazine as we bring more details your way in due time.
