Release History
1993
The Air Jordan 8 launched during the 1992-93 season. Sporting criss-cross straps, a fuzzy tongue, and brush stroke midsole, the White/Black-True Red makeup was the first of three colorways to release.
2003

2008
The Air Jordan 8 White/Black-True Red released for the third time in 2008 as part of the Countdown Pack series. This installment was paired with a Black/Red makeup of the Air Jordan XV and was somewhat of a slow seller due to recent release, lack of popularity of the XV, and package price tag.
