AJ8 Retro Aqua (2025)

AJ8 Retro Aqua (2025)

Third Retro, Sharpest Shape Yet

MJ wore the original Aqua 8s during the 1993 NBA All-Star Game, dropping 30 points in a loss to the West. The colorway came back in 2007 and 2015, and now the 2025 retro (305381-006) arrives during the Air Jordan line’s 40th anniversary year. The Jordan 8 Aqua 2025 keeps the black nubuck upper and grey back panels, with aqua blue and Bright Concord purple splashed across the midsole and chenille tongue patch. Compared to the 2015 release, the grey hits are lighter, the nubuck feels smoother, and the shape runs closer to the OG silhouette.

Cross-straps and inner bootie give a locked-in fit. Go with your normal size. Released July 19, 2025 at $215 in full family sizing. The glitter effect on the midsole is toned down from the 2015 version, which most collectors prefer. See more on the Jordan 8 replicas page. Shop the rest at rep sneakers.
