As the Air Jordan 8 Retro debuted in 2003 so did the retro card. This card has been used for all of the retro Air Jordan VIII colorways in 2003 as well as 2007. It features MJ in the “Aquas” flying in space on the front. On the back it has a brief summary of MJ’s accomplishments in the year the original Air Jordan VIII was released as well as a shoe timeline.
It’s become a global phenomenon, the likes of which we may never see again. The perfect team assembled from the start: the alpha player in Michael Jordan, a corporate maverick savvy enough to leverage the young star in Phil Knight, and an architect-turned-designer in Tinker Hatfield eager to redefine the industry with his problem-solving approach to footwear. It was a time when the sun, moon and Mars aligned, and the dominance that Michael Jordan displayed nightly as a young Chicago Bull captured the imagination of adoring fans across the globe. Chicago soon began to beat, repeat and three-peat against the competition, twice, and the innovation making its way out of Beaverton was unparalleled across the footwear industry, marking both aesthetic and athletic firsts, as both the legendary Air Jordan shoe and Michael’s playing career itself reached mythical status.
