Air Jordan 8 ‘Aqua’ Will Return In Summer 2025

Get excited Air Jordan aficionados, because one of the coolest, most classic Air Jordans of the 90s is set to return next year: the ‘Aqua’. Reports have confirmed that the quintessential 90s icon will be back in mid-2025. Despite the fact that the Jordan 8 ‘Aqua’ was only worn by Michael Jordan once on court – for the 1993 NBA all-star game – the colourway is regarded by many Air Jordan fans as the best of the original three Jordan 8s.

The 2025 comeback will mark only the third retro or the Air Jordan 8 ‘Aqua’ following its 2007 and 2015 releases. The colourway is expected to return in the OG form you know and love with no notable modifications to the materials or colour palette. You can expect the 2025 pairs to feature the ‘Aqua’ Jordan 8’s black synthetic nubuck upper with lightly contrasting grey felt material wrapping the heel and lace eyelet panels, along with the distinct aqua blue and purple accents and chenille Jumpman logo patch on the tongue.
