Air Jordan VIII Aqua Samples (Pics)

[chrisjacobswhat]

Hey, long time visitor, first time poster. I searched and found nothing about these so I thought i would share with yall. these are a sample pair of the AJ 8s.These were a color sample of the 07 retros. they released sometime in 2006. the differences are the lighter grey on the back, more closely resemble OGs. theyalso have different patterns on the sides and bottom. the sides are also a deeper purple, with a little hint of glitter. the bottoms have that rubber with thewhite dots, so probably recycled. i believe the 07 retros are more bluish. the inside has the sample size label and a printed SAMPLE property of nike, not forresale label. wish i had the 07 and ogs to do a side by side comparison, sorry. http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m32/r1ckjames2011/?action=view&current=DSC00769.jpghttp://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m32/r1ckjames2011/?action=view&current=DSC00770.jpghttp://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m32/r1ckjames2011/?action=view&current=DSC00772.jpghttp://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m32/r1ckjames2011/?action=view&current=DSC00773.jpghttp://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m32/r1ckjames2011/?action=view&current=DSC00774.jpghttp://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m32/r1ckjames2011/?action=view&current=DSC00778.jpghttp://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m32/r1ckjames2011/?action=view&current=DSC00779.jpg

wish the retros looked like this. i like the lighter shade of grey. they look more like the OGs.

i'm happy with the retros it would have been better to get them right on the money, but they came damn near close...at least they didn't ruin it byputting some stupid ++# addition like a stitched 23 on the back or outside,or give us suede instead of nubuck

 

[luvtheshoe]

Those def have much better contrast...thanks.

If you look closely at the shoe tag, it says made in Taiwan. Taiwan, ROC be making good quality stuff now. I remembered 10-15 years ago, people were making funof stuff made in Taiwan. Just look at the shoe game, I wish all Js are made in Taiwan. Products made in China are crap!

 

[chicityk7]

pure piff better than the retro's

 

[niophyte0430]

very nice

 

[jcool813]

i didn't buy the retro b.c. of the all black upper. i think the charcoal is a nice touch to break up all the black.



the playoffs NEEDED the red pull tab for me to cop.
