Sneaker News Closing out Jordan Brand’s mammoth year of releases is one of the most cherished originals of all-time. The Air Jordan 8 “Bugs Bunny”, clad in white, black, red, and grey, will hit retailers on December 20th, 2025. Continue reading to learn more about this upcoming drop.
The Air Jordan 8 “Bugs Bunny” originally released back in 1993 with an MSRP of $125. This white/grey/red/black colorway was one of three original color schemes that hit stores; Michael Jordan himself wore this specific colorway throughout the latter half of the 1993 season.
Since its release in 1993, Jordan Brand brought this back to stores in decade-long increments. The first-ever Retro release came in 2003, followed by another in 2013. The upcoming 2025 release breaks that cadence, but the first-look images reveal that the wait was well worth it as the shape, construction, and materials are as close to the ’93 originals.

Where did the Air Jordan 8 “Bugs Bunny” nickname come from?
In the early-mid 1990s, Nike did a lot of advertising with Warner Bros. Looney Tunes characters. Bugs Bunny appeared a series of ads wearing this exactly colorway; the hits of white and grey matched the cartoon’s signature fur colors. Bugs Bunny also wore the shoes in the 1996 movie Space Jam.
