Jordan 8 Retro White True Red (2025) – The 'Bugs Bunny' Returns

The Air Jordan 8 Retro White True Red — widely known as the 'Bugs Bunny' — is one of the most storied colorways in the Jordan lineup. Originally released in 1993, the shoe earned its nickname from the Looney Tunes character who appeared alongside Michael Jordan in the iconic 'Hare Jordan' ad campaign. Michael Jordan wore the white-based Air Jordan 8 throughout the 1992–93 NBA regular season — the year the Chicago Bulls completed their first Three-Peat — before switching to the 'Playoffs' colorway for the postseason. After its 1993 debut, the colorway saw retro releases in 2003, 2008 (as part of the Countdown Pack), and 2013, making this 2025 drop the first return in 12 years.

The 2025 retro is released as part of Jordan Brand's 40th Anniversary celebration of the Air Jordan 8. Designed by Tinker Hatfield, the AJ8 introduced a maximalist aesthetic to the line — featuring crossed anti-inversion straps, bold color blocking, and a thick chenille tongue patch. This White/Black/True Red colorway stays faithful to the original Bulls-uniform-inspired scheme, with a white perforated leather upper, grey suede accents at the collar and heel, and True Red hits throughout. A lone dash of blue appears through the Jumpman logo on the chenille tongue patch — a subtle nod to the shoe's pop-culture roots. Underfoot, a two-tone midsole with encapsulated Nike Air cushioning in the forefoot and heel rounds out the build.
