Since this is probably the most anticipated pair of shoes to release this year, an Official Post is well deserved. With this release, I'm one more stepcloser to throwing in the towel and retiring from the shoe game. These shoes have eluded me since the 1993 NBA playoffs, and now I finally own them!

As always, please continue any and all discussion about the black/red Retro 8's inside this thread. Any new posts may be locked and or deleted withoutwarning.

Also, please keep in mind that theres still NO BUYING/SELLING/TRADING in this forum! This includesany subtle attempts to "hey look at my sig", redirect to one's own auction or simply asking for a hookup. Please be respectful and use thebuy/sell forums for that.

Great release right before the holiday....every aspect of the shoe is great and it would be perfect had there not been a few minor changes from theOG's....I know my Champs is opening up at midnight for these because the mall is open late anyway so I won't lose any sleep over these

samples look better, the pattern on the heel of OGs looks kinda plain
JB doesnt have to release OGs to satisfy some of its customers

im still debating whether to buy this one...
 
Oh yeah, for those wondering if they come with the "textured" nubuck like the OG's had....The answer is YES. However on some pairs it's morenoticeable than on others.

It reminds me of the elephant print on retro 3's. Some pairs the print is thick, while others it seems lighter.
 
i can't wait .... i can't wait

i'm actually gonna hold off on spendin any money this weekend so that just in case somethin goes wrong i can still cop
 
man, its too bad they went away from the samples. in person these things almost look fake, especially in kids sizes...
 
THESE ARE THE UGLY SHOES THAT I REJECTED TO BUY FOR $670 ON EBAY

FROM ALL THE 8'S I DON'T BOTHER LIKING THESE DUE TO THE OLD SCHOOL STYLE IT HAS

NEXT WEEK IM GOING TO COPP MY PAIR BUT IM ALSO GOING TO GET ANOTHER PAIR OF AQUAS BECAUSE TO ME THE PLAYOFFDISSAPOINT

IF THIS COLORWAY DIDN'T RELEASE IN 1993 AND THEY MADE THESE AS A LS LIFESTYLE THIS YEAR
I GUARANTEE EVERYBODY WILL BE HATING HOW UGLY THEY ARE AS LIFESTYLE
BUT NOPE

ANYWAYS IM ENTITLED TO MY OPINION
SO GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE GETTING A PAIR NEXT WEEK

I was looking at these today and it is just me or does the whole shoe have a glitter look to them ??? If any can take a look in person tell me what you think ?None the less a must cop along with the XV's.
 
yea i copped mine for 166$ about 2 weeks ago shout out to Get-dizzy really cant complain cause any where else down here in miami they gonna tax me some crazyprice i remember paying 190$ for them aquas and i regret that
 
meh. yeah i want them but im iffy if i should buy sat for retail. aquas did hit lower prices on ebay. and the huarache acgs are still out there.
 
i had the OG's as a kid in 1993...and cared for them so much =] now they will return on my feet for a comeback!
