Jordan 8 retro LS punta negra

The Air Jordan 8 Retro LS Black Toe Makeover

The AJ VIII features a two cross-strap design around the laces, which distinguishes it from other Air Jordan models and retains its legacy as a signature '90s sneaker style. The silhouette is renowned for its iconic chenille tongue graphic design.

When the Jordan 8 Retro Low was introduced in 2003, it featured a low-top silhouette and one cross-strap detail around the laces. Otherwise, it maintained the Jordan 8's original design integrity.

History of Air Jordan 8

The Air Jordan 8 holds a lot of sentimental significance to sneakerheads and collectors. It first released in 1993—the year of MJ's "three-peat" championship season. The AJ XIII is also distinguished for being the last shoe Michael Jordan wore before his first retirement.

Created by the legendary designer Tinker Hatfield, the Air Jordan 8 initially released at a retail price of $125. Highly sought-after models that carry significant resale values include the Air Jordan 8 Retro DB Doernbecher colorway ($400 to $1,200), the OVO collection ($350 to $500) and the coveted Air Jordan 8 PE series that can fetch anywhere from 2,500 to over $10,000.

Other noteworthy, collectable styles include the Jordan 8 Retro in Champagne and Bugs Bunny colorways, which resale for around $225 to $500 and $200 to $450, respectively.

Jordan 8 Retro LS Black Toe 2007

The Jordan Brand released the Black toe colorway in 2007. An Anthracite nubuck upper coats the base of this release, covering the toe top, side panels, ankle, tongue, laces, and midsole. White overlays appear over the Anthracite underlays, incorporating Dark Orange stitching to all of its outlines. Dark Orange accents make a further introduction on the tongue's Jordan Jumpman logo, on the clasp of the cross strap, and on the side panel's Dark Orange, tan, and white design. White continues on the midsole and arch of this sneaker, coating the outer sole in a tread for extra traction. The Black Toe release debuted on November 17, 2007.
