SOLE COLLECTOR: Sneakers

Well it wouldn't be right if Josh Howard didn't get an Air Jordan VIII Retro. So without further ado here's a player exclusive just for him. The colorway is inspired by his Dallas Mavericks team colors so it will match his uniform.

A new team a new year. Now that Quentin Richardson is a New York Knick and the Air Jordan VIII Retro is back on the market it's only right that he gets a new PE. To replace his other Air Jordan VIII Retro player exclusives from his L.A. Clippers days, he now has one to wear on his new team.

As the onslaught continues, here's another Air Jordan VIII Retro PE. This one is for Bobby Simmons of the Milwaukee Bucks. This very nice, simple, and traditional colorway was worn while Simmons was playing at home.

As the Air Jordan VIII gets its first retro run in 2003, so does its PE's. This player exclusive was made for "Q-Rich" Quentin Richardson who at the time was playing for the Los Angeles Clippers. This colorway is very similar to the one released except the added blue color.

To go along with his exclusive home colorway of the Air Jordan VIII Retro, Fred Jones like some others also gets an exclusive colorway for the road as well. This one also inspired by the colorways of his new team the New York Knicks.

A new team, an new exclusive. As Fred Jones begins his first season with his new team the New York Knicks he also gets a special colorway of the Air Jordan VIII Retro. This one his wore while at home, it's colorway is inspired to match the Knicks uniform. It also features "TS 2" stitched on the side.

Since Gerald Wallace got to wear the Air Jordan VIII Retro while he was only the road, he also got to wear it while at home. This colorway the same as the one released to the public gets the PE treatment with Wallace's number "3" stitched on the side.

To go along with almost everyone in the NBA wearing a colorway of the Air Jordan VIII Retro, Gerald Wallace is on that list too. As he plays for the now part MJ owned Charlotte Bobcats its only proper that he gets to wear a pair of Air Jordans.

What more need be said than original Air Jordan VIII "aqua's?" Well nothing really but here's some interesting fun facts. These were worn by Michael in the 1993 NBA All-Star game. This is also the only colorway of the original Air Jordan VIII to not be in the traditional Chicago Bulls color scheme. It took fifteen long years for these to get retroed and when that happened people were eager with anticipation.

As Michael goes after his third straight championship season along comes another new Air Jordan model, the Air Jordan VIII. These were very unique at their time as sneakers with straps were just starting to make their rounds. This shoe features criss-cross straps that you can buckle or unbuckle to your preference.

Well it seems like either Ray Allen must really like the Air Jordan VIII or he just is a very lucky man. These were worn by Ray while he was still a member of his first team (second if you count being drafted by the T-Wolves and traded the same night) the Milwaukee Bucks which was during the first round of Air Jordan VIII Retros in 2003.

Again like longtime Jordan members Ray Allen and Michael Finley, new sensation Chris Paul gets a taste of the old PE treatment. Coming in both home and away colorways to match his New Orleans Hornets uniform this one pictured above is the away version.
