SOLE COLLECTOR: Sneakers

words by Steve Jaconetta

After pictures of the Air Jordan XV in the Jordan 8/15 Countdown Pack surfaced last week, here’s the other half. The Air Jordan VIII that will be in this pack is one we all know and love, another original. The white/black-true red colorway will be the one.

After a five and a half year hiatus, the first colorway ever retroed for the Air Jordan VIII will once again hit the retail market this winter. After another recent run of retro VIII’s in late 2007, this was the only original colorway not released in that span. Making it a perfect idea to put it in this pack.

In comparison to the ‘03 retro and even the ‘93 original, can you see any differences? These are basically 100% dead on. I for one am glad these are returning as my pair from the last time they retroed is in decent shape, but a fresh pair is always great to have. This way I can wear these and not have to breakout a DS pair from the ‘03.

The Air Jordan 8/15 Countdown Package will be released in November. Retail on this set is $310 and will be available in both men’s and gradeschool sizes. For more info on this as it becomes available keep checking back to the release dates page here as well as our official threads in our forums (here and here.)
