The Air Jordan 8.0 Welcomes the Varsity Royal Colorway

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 sneaker 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 sneakerheads 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. Highly sought-after models that carry significant resale values include the Air Jordan 8 Retro DB Doernbecher colorway ($400 to $1,200), the OVO collection ($350 to $500) and the coveted Air Jordan 8 PE series that can fetch anywhere from 2,500 to over $10,000.

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

Jordan 8.0 Varsity Royal 2008

The Varsity Royal colorway made its return to the Air Jordan 8 silhouette in 2008 with the release of this newest design. A bright white coats the toe top, overlays, side panels, ankle, heel, laces, and tongue logo. Varsity Royal is introduced on the top cross strap overlay that reaches across the laces and secures them in place. Hits of Varsity Royal return on the heel tab, inner sock liner, and midsole. A tri-colored Metallic Silver, Stealth, and Varsity Royal splatter design is incorporated into the side panel section of the midsole. This same design carries down to the bottom of the shoe where the arch is revealed. Varsity Royal debuted on October 11, 2008.
