AIR JORDAN
RETRO 8
"WHITE & TRUE RED"

Written by: Parker Hargens

As the year comes to a close, we wrap up the season with a re-release of a fan favorite.

The Air Jordan 8 “White & True Red,” also known as the “Bugs Bunny 8s,” drop on December 20th, proving again why the 8s are THE elite retro.
(IMO… but I ain’t lying. 🤫)

First debuted by MJ in the '93 playoff run, the 8s quickly became a timeless style. Continuing off the success of the ‘Hare Jordan’ Nike/Jordan campaign that produced the ‘Hare Jordan 7s,’ the campaign maintained a successful storyline that merged Jordan’s on-court dominance with pop culture appeal with the release of the White and True Red Retro 8s, featuring Michael alongside Bugs Bunny yet again.

Hopping back into the shoes, a crisp white leather top forms the base - then pops of true red, black, and light steel grey add the sharp contrast this model’s famous for. Crossed straps give it that classic Jordan 8 feel, whereas the fluffy tongue tag with the legendary Jumpman logo brings a wave of old-school nostalgia.

This drop stands out because you’re looking at pure '90s Jordan spirit – bold and intense. Thick soles, sharp layers, and strong sections still hit hard now, just like back then.

You might cop them for nostalgia, your lineup, or to match today’s trends; regardless, these shoes say enough on their own, they show folks exactly how legendary kicks stand out.
