Air Jordan 8 "Bugs Bunny"


As a sneakerhead in 2013, there are many sneakers that may catch your eye. It could be the color or maybe even the way they fit that attracts the customer, but whatever the case may be, you want to always make sure that they are FRESH. The Air Jordan 8 "Bugs Bunny" has always been a fresh sneaker. Released during the 1992-93 NBA Basketball season where the Chicago Bulls  and Jordan went on to win their third consecutive NBA title, the Air Jordan 8 has cross-over leather straps, white leather toe and red/gray/black accents. The tongue of the shoe is white/black with a flower-power Air Jordan symbol in the middle. The story behind the name "Bugs Bunny" lies in the timing of Michael Jordan's career when he was evolving into the icon we all know and love to this day. What better way to commecialize this iconic figure than to partner with the one and only Bugs Bunny. This  creative marketing move by Nike was followed by infamous commercials and popular promotions that have catapulted the Air Jordan 8 "Bugs Bunny" into icon status as well. Check it out below. This exclusive sneaker will be re-released April 20th with a retail value of $160.00. This will definitely be a nothch on your sneakerhead belt, so don't miss out. As always, enjoy and stay FRESH!!
