Air Jordan 8 Retro Aqua Kids' Shoes - Black/Aqua/Purple

The Air Jordan 8 is the loud one. Instead of laces doing all the work, two furry cross straps pull across the middle of the shoe, and the tongue carries a cartoon-eyed Jumpman patch. Aqua is its most famous colourway: a black upper with bright turquoise and Bright Concord purple splashed across the straps and midsole. Jordan wore the 8 through the 1993 season without losing a Finals game, and it has looked like nothing else ever since.

Why kids (and parents) love them

• Cross straps instead of plain laces: the detail that makes the AJ8 unmistakable.
• Bright aqua and purple: a bold colour combination that stands out on any playground.
• Black base: the dark upper copes with a school day far better than a light one.
• Cushioned landings: Air cushioning absorbs the impact of every jump and sprint.
• Grippy rubber outsole: sure footing on gym floors, playgrounds, and wet pavement.
