The Air Jordan 8 (VIII) Retro - White / Orange Blaze - Silver - Stealth was released on October 20, 2007, and retailed for $140. They feature a white and grey upper with small perforations throughout, which act as a ventilation system, allowing the foot to breathe. The colorway is smooth, and seems to blend well together. They were a general release, which made women and children happy to be able to fit them. One of the nicest features of these and the Air Jordan 8 (VIII) in general is the inner sleeve, which features a vibrant, multi- colored pattern, and is designed to really make the shoe stick to your foot. The shoe also consists of anti-inversion cross straps, a poly carbonate torsion plate, air sole, and an inner sock similar to the Nike Air Huarache. The leather versions feature perforations, but the versions constructed of durabuck really do not, which may be the cause of why Michael suffered from athlete’s foot infections during the 92-93 season, the year the shoe was originally released.
