The
Air Jordan VIII was released to coincide with the 1992-1993 NBA season.
The eighth model of the
Air Jordan was noticeably heavier than its predecessors. Its base was clearly close to that of the
Air Jordan VII model, but it had a lot more details, including two crossover straps on each shoe and a jumpman logo. Thus the
Air Jordan VIII model became known as the "Punisher" due to its advanced basketball ankle support and superior traction. This shoe contains a full length air sole, crossover straps (for added support and more custom fit), circular pattern midsole and contrast stitching for comfort all the zones on your feet.
