If I remember correctly, around the time the Aquas were dropping, everyone was wondering what the VIIIs would look like without straps. Well I found some onan Ebay auction. The seller said he wanted a custom look so he had the straps cut by a professional tailor shop. Had to share with you guys.

My take: VIIIs are one of my favorite jordans so seeing them without thestraps is not appealing IMO. The velcro on the back looks tacky without the straps and the straps make these what they are.

*EDIT*

*I really wasn't seeing the similarities between the strapless VIIIs & the VIIs but now that I got pics to compare them, I do see them.

Looks pretty good but the straps gives them the signature look.

Not bad at ALL!!

I will say that it's weird not seeing the 23 on top of the laces, though.

The VIIIs are my least favorite Jordans (which is why I have zero VIIIs), but I like the way they look WAY better without the straps.

seeing the 8's with no straps is like seeing the 13's with straps it just wouldn't look right imo.

Why would you pay $140 to remove an identifiable aspect of shoe?

And pics are a no go...
