In Retrospect: Air Jordan 8 Aqua

In retrospect: Air Jordan 8 AquaThe Air Jordan 8 will make a comeback in November as a one half of the Jordan 15/8 Countdown Pack bringing the third and final original colorway of the Air Jordan 8 to release in just over a year.

One year ago today, the Jordan 8 Aqua retro released for the first time since its original release just after the 1993 NBA All-Star Game. Also, a women’s “aqua” colorway was released with a white color base and reflective 3M back panel. Though the shoes appeared to sell through at retail stores, we noticed that one can carefully find a pair on eBay for only a few dollars over the retail price of $140.

Looking back in retrospect what do you think of these Air Jordans? Did you purchase or pass? Any regrets either way? Share your thoughts after the jump.

    i didnt get paid the weekend before the realease date so i got raped and paid a guy $180 to hold em for me.
    i’ve only brought them out of the box twice.
    i dont plan on wearing them untill im really old so lil kids will ask me where & when i got them.

    Man I copped the Aquas they were by far the best Jordans that were released last year and I really regret returning the women aquas I copped those just to have them but my stupid ass took them back but no regrets on the regular ones…

    Copped the aqua’s last year glad i got em. except i wish i wouldve found another pair, was gonna wear em for my bday at the end of last year and thought “no way alcohol on my kix”? but gently put them back in mmy box. one day they will see the pavement just not anytime soon. ur time will come aqua 8′s just like the rest of my retros.

    It HAS been a quick year… I remember seeing them in stores…then passing…then the depression…then the recession!

    I passed on the Aquas, sadly. But, as time went by and whack mandems started copping and rocking, I became content with my decision. At first, it was all love for the 8′s; it just became SO common though, it was hard to have ANY love after seeing them on some DUTTY feet. People really need to start treating their kicks with respect: make the outfit go with the shoe, because your kicks alone won’t make you fresh! But yeah, Aquas just aren’t EXCLUSIVE enough for me to spend that kind of money. Orange Blazes are pretty illy though, haven’t seen too many mans duttying that up. PLAYOFFS REMAIN THE BEST 8 COLOURWAY FOREVER.
