Orange Blaze Sets the Air Jordan 8 Retro 2007 Aflame
The AJ VIII features a two cross-strap design around the laces, which distinguishes it from other Air Jordan models and retains its legacy as a signature '90s sneaker style. The silhouette is renowned for its iconic chenille tongue graphic design.
When the Jordan 8 Retro Low was introduced in 2003, it featured a low-top silhouette and one cross-strap detail around the laces. Otherwise, it maintained the Jordan 8's original design integrity.
History of Air Jordan 8
The Air Jordan 8 holds a lot of sentimental significance to sneakerheads and collectors. It first released in 1993—the year of MJ's "three-peat" championship season. The AJ XIII is also distinguished for being the last shoe Michael Jordan wore before his first retirement.
Created by the legendary designer Tinker Hatfield, the Air Jordan 8 initially released at a retail price of $125. Highly sought-after models that carry significant resale values include the Air Jordan 8 Retro DB Doernbecher colorway ($400 to $1,200), the OVO collection ($350 to $500) and the coveted Air Jordan 8 PE series that can fetch anywhere from 2,500 to over $10,000.
Other noteworthy, collectable styles include the Jordan 8 Retro in Champagne and Bugs Bunny colorways, which resale for around $225 to $500 and $200 to $450, respectively.
Jordan 8 Retro Orange Blaze 2007
The Jordan brand welcomed the orange blaze colorway to its lineup in 2007 with this Air Jordan 8 release. A white upper incorporates a signature Jordan 8 cross strap over the laces with an orange blaze side clasp. Orange Blaze continues on the tongue's chenille Jordan Jumpman logo, heel tab, patterned inner sock liner, and patterned side panels. The side panels have a perforated design for enhanced breathability. Stealth Grey tones coat the heel, eyelets, ankle, midsole, and a portion of the chenille tongue logo. The sneaker's side panel overlays incorporate white, silver, and stealth into a single design.
