Out Of This World-Sneaker Community By Jmanny

The Air Jordan (black/bright concord-aqua tone) also known as simply the aquas, or air jordan aqua 8's were originally released in February, 1993, & only retailed for $125. Yea only $125 !!The upper of the shoe has a durabuck material, a material similar to nubuck in some ways. They also feature anti-inversion cross straps, poly carbonate torsion plate, air sole, and an inner sock similar to the Nike Air Huarache. These are said to be the heaviest of all Air Jordans, but trust me when i tell you, you dont really feel any real weight. Also they arent very breatheable, which is another way of saying that the heat from your feet, isnt easily realized from the shoe, which leads to perspiration, which leads to atheletes foot. This might be the reason why Michael Jordan himself suffured from atheletes foot during the 1992-1993 season. During the home games of this season, MJ would make a detour on the way to the stadium & give 4 tickets to the same 4 kids from a rough south side chicago neiborhood. During that time, no sneaker had a such a radical design , there is many things going on at the same time with this shoe. The shoe has 2 cross straps, which is said to symbolize bugs bunnies ears, because during that time the Jordan Brand & Looney toones had some sort of marketing skeeme. So this is why they Air Jordan 8's are sometimes refered to as the "Bunnies". Regardless of all that, this is one of my personal favorite sneakers of all time. You are sure to turn some heads with these on your feet. Peace & Kicks.
