The Nike Air Yeezy sold out immediately wherever it was released, Kanye’s Louis Vuitton’s are super-expensive and the Air Jordan VIII ‘Aquas’ haven’t retroed in quite some time. What’s a Mr. West biter fan to do? The next best thing to the Aqua 8s might be these Air Jordan Force VIIIs (AJF 8). The heel ribbing that sort of foreshadowed the AJXII sunray stitching is something we’ve never seen on an Air Force 1 sole, much less one with aquatone on the heel and toe and bright concord in between. If you like those, you’ll love the AJF8 in the OG home colourway. This pair features a perforated leather underlay that perfectly matches the AF1′s toe. Expect these in February, with the Aquas splashing down in March. via SC

@ Chillaxnagain– wow, a year? i bet your mom lets you drive her car now that you have a permit too. way to go big guy. Seriously, thanks. I have not laughed that hard on here in a bit.
I like both, a little more blocky looking than the standard 8′s, which i like.
November 15th, 2009 at 10:32 pm

November 15th, 2009 at 11:09 pm
they should have just used the standard rubber white and blue sole on the black ones. That leather sole looks CHEAP!
November 15th, 2009 at 11:18 pm
I HONESTLY DON’T CARE WHAT JORDAN PUTS OUT NO MORE AS LONG AS THEY BRING BACK RETROS AND DIFFERENT COLOR WAY I’M FINE JUST DON’T CHANGE THE RETRO MATERIAL WHEN YOU BRING RETROS BACK LIKE THE 6;S SO CALLED NFERED BUT REALLY IT IS VARISTY RED AND SUEDE????? WTF
November 15th, 2009 at 11:28 pm
they need to stop with these fusions coming out because they’re only making jordans look bad.
the designs they use for the fusions ( supposedly the best aspects of the jordans and air forces 1’s mixed) is just the bottom off the forces and and the actual top part of the jordans but what i really want to say is that the designer of these fusions are showing that they are just putting stuff together and not taking any time or effort to design and create an actual masterpiece worthy of being quoted as ” The best of both worlds” and i hope everyone reads this ESPECIALLY the designer of these fusions and the jordan company if possible
if i had the chance to work on a new jordan shoe i would make sure that shoe would be a masterpiece loved by all not just a few
i design jordans everynow and then and forces too and i have a great eye when it comes to shoe designs and i want to have a future in it but these jordan fusions are what make me mad because they have no effort or time put into them if i had a chanse to show my designs i would end up taking these jordan fusion designers place
and again i hope everyone reads this ESPECIALLY the jordan fusion designers AND the jordan company as well
November 15th, 2009 at 11:29 pm

November 15th, 2009 at 11:38 pm
idk why they continue to push tha fusions.. jus stop wit tha shit nd make more retros come out instead of wastin it on ugly shoes
November 15th, 2009 at 11:47 pm
the aqua ones or tight, they would be good to wear so my retro aquas can stay fresh, but the whites or trash
November 15th, 2009 at 11:49 pm
I’ve been collecting Jordan’s for about 14 years, and that is NOT how they are suppose to look.
November 16th, 2009 at 12:51 am

November 16th, 2009 at 3:50 am
These belong in the trash along with Hypebeasts, Air Yeezy’s, Kanye Worshipers, and the Gay Fish Himself.

yovani, look at the fusions closer…..ALL OF EM…..they are NOT the exact upper of the Jordan simply slammed into the mid/outsole of an AF1…the toebox is clearly more related to an AF1, as is the mid on most of em, apart from them using the particular perforation patterns for each shoe….they do use ALOT of the OG aspects of the Jordan, but really look at em, and you def see more AF1 than Jordan, especially when you take one of the more “round” looking J’s and look at it’s Fusion counterpart….the Fusion looks “squared off”…almost like they simply laid a Jordan colorway, and maybe some straps, on top of an AF1….this is especially true with these Fusion 8′s….look at how boxy they look compared to an actual pair of 8′s…big difference. Not trying to start any crazy mess with you, just pointing something out to you…..
November 16th, 2009 at 7:36 am
you guys are idiots. they keep making them because they will sell to the new fanbase, and because you losers will still buy the retros, no matter what they drop in between!
November 16th, 2009 at 8:00 am
complete shit…..if they wanna use these colorways just retro the damn aquas!!! duh
November 16th, 2009 at 10:16 am
ugggggggggllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyy
November 16th, 2009 at 10:56 am

November 16th, 2009 at 11:18 am
“the aqua VIII’s havent retroed in quite some time”? are you kidding me?!? they dropped less than three years ago! in jordan years thats like yesterday…
November 16th, 2009 at 11:31 am
I hate these fusion 8s…but the sole on the aqua fusion is hot…they should have just made a regular pair of forces with the aqua colors…i would have def copped somethin like that…
November 16th, 2009 at 1:34 pm
nice try with the Aqua fusions (lol) I still don’t like ‘em…
November 16th, 2009 at 2:47 pm
the aqua’s are so ugly but i love the colorway i gotta scoop them
November 16th, 2009 at 2:50 pm
*sigh*
November 16th, 2009 at 3:30 pm
They’re ugly. But if I can get em (Aquas) at 100$ …. I’ll take em…I rather beat up a pair of worthless fusions than take out my OG VIII’s ….. but shit they could AT LEAST put some effort into it on the AF1 sole. The 8 looks horrible without it’s original sole…
November 16th, 2009 at 4:16 pm
