The Air Jordan 8 (VIII) Retro - Aquas (Black / Bright Concord - Aqua Tone) was one of the most anticipated retro releases of all time. Non team colors of Air Jordan's always have a strong following, especially for older models. Probably one of the most exciting release since the Air Jordan 5 (V) Retro LS - Grapes (White / Emerald Green - Grape Ice) release is the Air Jordan Retro 8 Aqua. They were released in 2007, and sold very well. They feature a black durabuck upper, anti-inversion cross straps, a poly carbonate torsion plate, air sole, and an inner sleeve similar to the Nike Air Huarache. Purple and aqua highlights / streaks light up the back end of the shoe.
