Each of Jordan Brand’s signature models got ‘Advanced’ this summer, Chris Paul’s CP3 Advance the only one of the three that didn’t feature a Flywire upgrade. Carmelo Anthony’s M7 Advance and the AJ2011 A-Flight both added the superlight, superstrong material to their uppers, and are now joined by a model that debuted some eighteen years ago. The Air Jordan 8.0 takes the criss-crossed strap design to a new level with Flywire beneath, and apparently the change was so radical, it altered the AJVIII’s signature streaking midsole graphics. These are reported to be an October drop by Villa, although we had originally expected the 8.0 to be a 2012 release. Click through to see more of this white, grey and blue Air Jordan 8.0 and stay tuned for clarification on the release info.

August 23rd, 2011 at 1:32 pm
People are moaning about the .0 line They look exactly like an updated version of the viii, I like them, once people realise the significance if this line. Classic Jordan designs with modern tech your going to be kicking yourselves for not picking these up.
August 23rd, 2011 at 1:34 pm
a disgrace to the original
August 23rd, 2011 at 1:38 pm

August 23rd, 2011 at 1:50 pm
Yes, the original 8's are way better but these aren't bad
August 23rd, 2011 at 1:52 pm
Ummmm NO!…. I bet they are good to hoop in tho.
August 23rd, 2011 at 1:53 pm

August 23rd, 2011 at 2:02 pm
CAN ANYONE SAY PAYLESS??
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:03 pm
R.I.P Jordan 8
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:04 pm
I think JB loves teasing us by releasing these "things" clearly knowing we would sooo much prefer the retros instead.
But lets just do what we normally do when Js like these come out and ignore them and simply not buy them.
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:11 pm
omg, fuck you whoever hates on this
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:12 pm
look alright for playing ball in. but these are no where near the classic shoe that his airness wore in he 92-93 season. its sad cause i was kinda into the 2.0 i thought that concept made sense with a beefy soft mid sole of todays technology. but this is garb and will be making its way to a nike outlet near you!
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:13 pm
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh shut up
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:22 pm
Fuck the shoes, i felt an earthquake
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:27 pm
even some fakes look better then these……..
JB now you fucked up
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:31 pm
imma call these the 8.noooooos
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:32 pm
even tho at 1st i didnt like da 2.0, they grew on me & i ended up coppin a couple.. but these, its like a kick in da face on how they are disrespectin da 8s like this… worse enough JB quality is declinin. Now it seems they arent even tryin
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:37 pm
I like the design but the materials look cheap, need to see a diff colorway.
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:38 pm
i can say outlet!
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:39 pm
just ugly wtf mane ? SHIIIITTT bring some retro 8s better than tht
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:58 pm
they dont look that bad honestly. they just made a performance shoe based off of the original. im sure these are a joy to ball in.
August 23rd, 2011 at 3:12 pm
LOOK FAKE AF!!!!!
August 23rd, 2011 at 3:49 pm
sticking to retros good but something new and slightly different in the shoe game is better
August 23rd, 2011 at 3:54 pm
or not…
August 23rd, 2011 at 4:07 pm
I'd ball in these for sure. I'd love this color on some OG 8s too.
August 23rd, 2011 at 4:22 pm
they are specifically made for basketball.. not for casual wear
August 23rd, 2011 at 4:41 pm
These are like one of the ugliest shoes I've seen, but I give them credit as to making not look like the preview pictures from before.
August 23rd, 2011 at 4:41 pm
shit look fake period
August 23rd, 2011 at 4:45 pm
Friday December 21, 2012 JB will do something to to empty everybody's pockets.
August 23rd, 2011 at 6:12 pm
these arent even that bad now people who follow will dislike them there not even for style their made mainly for basketball
August 23rd, 2011 at 6:14 pm
LEAVE RETRO’S THE F ALONE
THIS IS WORSE THEN THE G-NIKE FUSIONS o_O
August 23rd, 2011 at 6:18 pm
you old farts keep avoiding progress. these are fire
August 23rd, 2011 at 6:31 pm
lmaooooooooooooo back to the drawing boards people
August 23rd, 2011 at 7:30 pm
sorry for not conforming with the "retros only" brigade! since you stated a such a value case for your argument though I'll reconsider my views….
August 23rd, 2011 at 7:44 pm
ugly, and anyone who thinks these are "fire" gots shitty taste in style.
August 23rd, 2011 at 7:44 pm
People seem to forget jordans were originally performance basketball shoes, now they're updating them to perform to todays requirements. Get over it, if you only want retros, then buy retros. I want to be able to rock j's on court without busting my feet/knees/ankles up. That's what these are for, get with it. If your only buying j's to look cool in your missing the point in why the line existed in the first place, but it seems when someone makes a valid point in here all they get are the old thumbs down. Look at a pair of 8's there's only 3 stand out differences the shape of the outer strap and the ankle pod is missing as well as the wool jumpman on the tongue which looked shit anyway.
August 23rd, 2011 at 7:49 pm
wtf!
August 23rd, 2011 at 7:52 pm
Cool colorway, not bad. Didnt read any other comments but ill bet the majority wanted the same old classic shoe and didnt want to embrace new technology. "Quit living in the past Marge, your always livin in the past." – Homer Simpson.
August 23rd, 2011 at 8:32 pm
Straight basketball shoe
August 23rd, 2011 at 8:35 pm
OMG me too. I am COMPLETELY MORTIFIED by these
August 23rd, 2011 at 9:34 pm
8.0… Thats basically calling them the 8s they will never be even close to the regular 8s. These suck.
August 23rd, 2011 at 9:49 pm
please no.
August 23rd, 2011 at 10:16 pm
that or the 8s and some flywire had a shit faced ugly baby
August 23rd, 2011 at 10:28 pm
They would have stayed performance if Jordan Brand didn't cut the quality.
August 23rd, 2011 at 10:29 pm
You can have these, it's your money (or your moms LOL) wasting not mine.
August 24th, 2011 at 1:02 am
colorway is no good for the 8s
August 24th, 2011 at 1:06 am
this are the shit. yall need to stop living in the 90's and accept new designs. sweet colorway
August 24th, 2011 at 2:31 am
take the straps off and call them something else, then itd prolly get more acceptence
August 24th, 2011 at 6:12 am
I think these are "fire". deep shit
August 24th, 2011 at 1:02 pm
id say that statement is only from 13s and up and even those could benefit from the odd tweak, anything below that are no good for playing in these days when compared to other performance shoes that are available.
August 24th, 2011 at 2:18 pm
12 and 11 were great basketball shoes, the 11s were lightweight and the first to use carbon fiber shankplate.
August 25th, 2011 at 9:19 pm
honestly my 8s saw these and laughed their asses off
