I guess these were the prequel to the real joints.

Wonder if those who copped the 8.0 version is feeling salty now?

:lol:
those who copped the 8.0 should be feeling all kind of ways
 
Looks like I got 2 reasons to celebrate this date this year! Haha I can't believe anyone on this board would think there's anyway an OG CW Jordan release is gonna be any different than the last and not be difficult. Aquas, playoffs, these, it doesn't matter. All these 8's will be gone and gone quick. Ill just have to wait til after the online release to start celebrating the rest of the day. I gotta be on point and able to focus to win the online lotto at 8 am eastern every release day.
 
One of the few OG colorways of Jordans that I never had.......but aside from that, I love the 8's. Will be doubling up this time around....

IMO these aren't even really the same shoe. I don't cop anything outside of the retro line and I certainly didn't cop these, but these are just a very modernized beta version of the original 8. I assume people who did cop these "upgraded" 8.0's, will still be out full force for the OG's come April. >D

Still one of the best Jordan models ever as far as durability goes...I think I still have my OG Aquas around somewhere...Things were built like a tank and were super comfy on the feet...I remember getting the Aqua's as my "Easter" shoes (Got new shoes for Easter, Birthday, and Christmas each year in my youth)...Anyway I got the Aqua's due to Footlocker not having my size in these and I always felt salty about it...Sure MJ wore the Aqua's during the All Star Game but the "Bug's Bunny" joints are the shoes he wore for work the entire regular season...

Also it's one of the few models that have remained fairly true to the original through all of their various retro cycles...All the pairs I've had have been very good quality in comparison to some other models (IV's I'm looking at you...)

Since JB has opted not to release the Columbia XI's I'm in for 2 pairs of these + a pair for the wife + a pair for little Vegetaray...Yearly purchase (Aside from the Black / Royal 1's...Don't tell the wife) - Check!...Wait if Aqua's come out I'll cop too...Oh forget it, the one model per year rule I have is out the window this year...

**Edit**

Found one of my OG Aqua 8's (Right shoe only :lol:)...Looking forward to the 8's...

I agree about durability the w/ the VIII's. I've worn my playoff VIII's for over 3 years and they still look decent. Something about how these were built and for $160 this is a no brainer for me, I just hope the quality is as good as the '07's. I also think the VIII's are one of the most unique designs Tinker did, and also in my top 3.

The first pair of jordans I ever had, I got the CDP's and wore them into the ground (still do) so I def need to cop these.
 
WHERE DID THIS COME FROM... I AM STILL A FIRM BELIEVER THAT THESE ARE NOT THE BUGS BUNNIES AND I DONT KNOW WHY PEOPLE CALL EM THAT. THIS PIC IS MISLEADING IMO. THE BUGS BUNNIES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE THE VII'S... THEY HAVE "BUNNY EARS", THERE IS A PAIR NAMED AFTER A BUNNIE ..THE HARES.. AND BUGS IS ON THE JORDAN CARD FROM THE 03 RELEASE... FURTHERMORE... THERE IS A HUGE BUGS BUNNY JORDAN VII SHOE THAT WAS MADE-I THINK ITS THE BORDEAUX COLORWAY AND THE VIII'S CAME AFTER THE VII....SOOOOO YEAH, DONT THINK THESE COULD POSSIBLY BE THE VIII BUT THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE CALLING IT THAT

da 2003 retro paint cracked like fine china.

da black and chrome mids and low top playoffs though are bulletproof.

da 2007 aquas crack too, not as bad but you already know.
 
Don't care for paint chipping my big ***** will be in these no matter what :D

Only person I saw with those 8.0 was Monta Eliis

pictures on what yall talkin about?

Dont have pics now. But if u google for og 8s abd any retro, please take a close look on the plastic triangle which holds the velcrostraps and has 2 laceholes.
The shape of the ogs were shorter, rounded edges, straight in form (surface) and dull looking.
All retros have a different design of that plastic triangle and have a glossy surface!
