Fuzzy Tongue
The Air Jordan 8 is well known for its fuzzy tongue. While the “Bugs Bunny” and “Aqua” takes sport an array of colors on their tongues, the “Playoffs” rely on a black base with red Jumpman. The logo has a carpet-like feel, similar to that of a varsity letter.
Criss-Cross Straps
Criss-crossed straps hit the blacktop in 1992 on the Nike Air Raid. A year later, the Air Jordan 8 adopted similar styling for the hardwood. The Air Jordan 8 remains the only Jordan in the signature series to sport such straps.
