The Jordan Brand is set to launch the Air Jordan 8.0 in at least five different colorways throughout the month of October. A modern interpretation of the original Air Jordan 8, the 8.0 features several re-designed elements, such as the cross-straps, hell pull-tab, midsole and outsole tread. Most noticeable is the incorporation of Flywire Technology on the side panels, which helps provide a more secure fit.

Of the five colorways being released in October, four of them are simple white-based looks, while the other is a black-based style inspired by the original "Playoff" colorway. Worth noting on the "Playoff" pair is the use of the Jumpman/Hoop graphic on the tongue that appeared on the unreleased original sample.

Look for all five of these colorways to drop at Jordan accounts in October. Retail will be $150.

Perhaps an attempt to warm long-time collectors up to the idea of the Air Jordan 8.0, the brand is issuing the revamped model in the original "Aqua" colorway.

The playoff inspired ones are the best because the straps are the same color as the upper
I apologize in advance for the bad username

I'm actually feeling the playoff version. Cop what you like and not what everyone else thinks is hot. I have the playoff 8's that were released back in 07, these are a nice twist of old and new technology. I also like the carmine 6-17-23....I like what I like and I like these. IMO
