Air Jordan 8 Playoffs 2023 Release Date Confirmed
The Air Jordan 8 “Playoffs” made its original debut back in 2007 and it was last offered in 2013. Now, the highly-coveted colorway of the classic silhouette will be making a retro appearance later on this year, as it pays homage to the last sneaker that Michael Jordan wore during Game 6 of the 1993 NBA Finals against the Phoenix Suns, which eventually led the Chicago Bulls to their first three-peat NBA Championship as well as Michael Jordan’s third straight Finals MVP.
The 2023 retro will reportedly flaunt the very same “Black/True Red” color scheme as the 2013 retro and essentially stay true to its OG makeup featuring the distinctive graphic overlays on the mudguards and multicolor rubber outsole. Our first look also shows that the shoe will also come with its original Red pull tabs like the OG pair instead of Black that was used on the previous retro.
Retailing for $210, look for the Air Jordan 8 “Playoffs” at select Jordan Brand stockists and online on September 30, 2023 in family sizing.

Release Date: Forget-me-nots x Jordan Air Ship From Bud To Flower
On the heels of the Corporate x Jordan Air Ship collaboration, the Jordan Air Ship partakes in another collaboration with none other than Japanese retailers, Forget-me-nots. Dropping later on this month, here is a detailed look at the Forget-me-nots x Jordan Air Ship From Bud To Flower.
Said to be a women’s exclusive colorway of the model, the Forget-me-nots x Jordan Air Ship From Bud To Flower admires the forget-me-not flower?s intriguing transformation. This delicate blossom begins as a modest white bud and matures into a vivid blue or purple bloom. The overall aesthetics of this sneaker attempts to mimic this evolution as it consists of a White leather upper contrasted by the Grey suede Swoosh and the Azure hue taking care of the Nike Air branding on the heel tab and tongue tag. You will also find a similar hue that more on the Blue side taking care of the inner lining and rubber outsole. Both of these colors mirror the hues of the forget-me-not flower. Other small details worth mentioning include the jagged-edge leather collar and the possibility of tearaway layers on the upper to further add to the “From Bud To Flower” story/theme.
Retailing for $150, look for the Forget-me-nots x Jordan Air Ship From Bud To Flower to release on September 27th exclusively from the Forget-me-nots website and a select few NBHD retailers.
