One of the more unique Jordans to come out during the 90s was none other than the Air Jordan 8. Overall, this is a shoe that was known for having a very bulky silhouette. This is a silhouette that definitely is not easy to love. It is one of those shoes that is not going to work on everyone, and as a result, it is a turn-off for a lot of people. However, there are quite a few fans out there who love this silhouette. It is for a very specific subset of sneakerheads, and Jordan Brand is definitely happy to have them on board.
This is a big year for the Air Jordan 8 due to the fact that the shoe is celebrating its 30th anniversary. Subsequently, fans can expect a whole host of great Air Jordan 8 models to make it to the market. In any given year, fans may be lucky to get one new Jordan 8. Although, this year, is going to be a much better year for the shoe. In fact, we are starting to see some teasers for the Jordan 8 range, and overall, there is a lot of great stuff coming out.
Air Jordan 8 "Gunsmoke"
Courtesy of sneakerfiles.com, we now know about the Air Jordan 8 Winterized "Gunsmoke." Of course, the Winterized line takes great Jumpman shoes and gives them materials that are made for the elements. Overall, this has been a big success for Jumpman, and it will continue to be just that. With this latest "Gunsmoke" colorway, Jordan Brand comes through with a stealthy Jordan 8 that is extremely difficult to dislike. Firstly, the upper is covered in black. Secondly, there are some grey overlays near the back that contain multiple shades. All-in-all, it is a muted shoe that looks great.
If you are a fan of the Air Jordan 8 and need something to beat the elements, then these will do you just fine. Unfortunately, a release date for this sneaker has not yet been unveiled.
