Air Jordan 8. This was released during the 1992-1993 NBA season. It was also known as the “flower-power” Air Jordan.
Perhaps the most complex Jordan in terms of aesthetic design, the VIII was an eclectic mix of leather, velcro and striking colour accents. Although many praised the shoe for its padding, others complained that it was "clumpy" and, with its lack of decent ventilation, caused the feet to overheat.
Further information
- Due to a tongue graphic which closely resembled the "Peace" sign and the psychedelic colour scheme, many referred to the VII as the "Flower Power" Air Jordan.
