The Air Jordans 8 was released in 1992/93 NBA season. MJ got his third consecutive NBA title. Jordan himself got his seventh straight scoring title. The Air Jordans 8's base was clearly close to that of the Air Jordans 7 model, but it had a lot more details, color and accents. It had cross-over velcro/leather straps. The eighth model of the Air Jordan was one heavy thing. Due to the thick padding the Air Jordans 8 was heavy and also easily got very warm. This shoe was only made in three different color combinations.
