Jordan Countdown Pack Championship: AJ 16/7 vs. AJ 15/8
Posted by Matt Halfhill | Dec 15, 2008|
Over the weekend two of the greatest pairs of Jordans faced defeat when the Air Jordan 4 and Air Jordan 3 were no match for a solid pack. This tourney is about the packs and a bad partner in a CDP is like MJ without Scottie. Today’s matchup is between the heavily favored Air Jordan 16/7 and the Air Jordan 15/8. The first package offers up two original colorways of Air Jordans including a classic “Hare” Jordan 7 and the Black/Red Jordan 16. The second pack has an uphill battle to fight with the Jordan 8 doing most of the work. As we countdown to crown a pack the champ, we want to give one away to one of our lucky readers. If you would like to be entered to win the winning Jordan Countdown Pack, please fill your information below and vote to help determine the winner after the jump. |

its the 16/7’s and the 11/12’s in the finals hands down. everything else is sub par those two packs have the best combinations for the money spent
Jan 20, 2009 at 3:57 am
the 7’s are too ill but the 16 are ugly
the 15/8 pack is decent too.
but the 13/10 pack + 11/12 pack destroy any other packs hands downnn!
Dec 23, 2008 at 10:23 am
15and8s are better than the 7and16s the 8s eat they live
Dec 23, 2008 at 10:22 am
13and10’s are better than the 7and16’s the 10s can carry the battle by itself
Dec 16, 2008 at 1:56 pm
whens game 7 gotta be one today right?
Dec 16, 2008 at 12:44 pm
i passed on both of packs, but i had the hare jordans when they first came out…Dig that younguns!!!!
Dec 16, 2008 at 12:31 pm
that didnt even make any sense…the sixteens with or w/o the strap is still nasty… and yes the 7s is classic but, the 8s is harder than the 7s… IMO i think that toe to toe the 7s cant take the 8s and toe to toe the 16s cant take the 15s so therefore the better pkg shud be 8/15 but I seen how the voting is so watevs…
Dec 16, 2008 at 12:09 pm
u alrdy kno 7/16s hardbody son..
cant go wrong wit 2 classic shoes..oh & if u thnk da 16s r trash, take off da strap n den holla @ me ok..i got em inda closet nikkas i kno dey hot got it??..
PPRPRRRAAATTTT!!! LOL
Dec 16, 2008 at 10:59 am
can some one please explain why the 16/7 pack is winning…Im having a tough time admiring the so called awesomness of the pack…
Dec 16, 2008 at 10:46 am
18/5 vs. 11/12 is the next match…?
oh god, be gentle ppl, dare I ask which’ll win?
Dec 16, 2008 at 10:42 am
final four should have been 11/12 vs. 17/6…
and 16/7 vs. 10/13… wow, now that’s a final four worth watching… this set up is worst than the BCS…!
Dec 16, 2008 at 10:25 am
15/8 cuz overall as a PACKAGE!!! its better than the one shoe carrying all the weight because of scarcity…
Dec 16, 2008 at 9:37 am
Let’s go 8/15
Dec 16, 2008 at 9:32 am
does this bracket even matter? lol at the end of the day, the 11/12 package is champion. hands down!!
Dec 16, 2008 at 8:02 am

Dec 16, 2008 at 7:06 am
The 8’s carry it by them selves
Dec 16, 2008 at 6:30 am
AJ 16/7 pack
Dec 16, 2008 at 5:41 am
You can never go wrong with the lucky number 7.
Dec 16, 2008 at 3:07 am
7/16 all day…..this package is takin the trophy, you know it like i know it…If you didnt cop…hate to be u
Dec 16, 2008 at 2:43 am
7/16
Dec 16, 2008 at 2:19 am
I love my 8’s but, the better pack is the 7/16.
Dec 16, 2008 at 1:44 am
YAE say I LUV both its like fresh and funky dean king wants to see u
Dec 16, 2008 at 1:43 am
7s and tha 16s hands down
Dec 16, 2008 at 12:56 am
I prefer the hares and the 16 over the 8 15
Dec 16, 2008 at 12:56 am
I would have to say the 15/8 box, because it’s sp fresh. I picked it because of the retro 8′S. WHICH ARE ONE OF MY FAVORITE NUMBERS. tHE 15′S are fii too. Don’t get me wrong the 16/7 box fresh too.
Dec 16, 2008 at 12:53 am
7/16 easy. While the 8’s is my third most favorite sneaker of all time (and I want them so bad… good thing that they are still on the racks in the stores and at plenty of stores online LMAO) the 15’s are THE ugliest Air Jordan sneaker made.
The 15’s does ok on the court (for a while) but all it really has is performance. No style (although I will admit it pushed the limits in looks… just TOO FAR). SO IF YOU PUT THE 8/15 TOGETHER AGAINST THE 7/16 AND THE 7/16 WINS
As for the the 7/16 next battle (because it will win), I think it will just edge out the 11/12 pack because the 11′ ARE NOT THE CONCORDS and the 12’s should have been the playoff’s version colorway.
7/16 is perfect, 11/12… not so much.
Dec 16, 2008 at 12:43 am
I’m just shocked 1/5 ppl voted for he 15/8s. Wow!
Dec 16, 2008 at 12:27 am
#86,
huh, you’re wrong homie, MJ did wear the 16s, with the Wizards and he wore that ginger/maize colorway…!
Dec 16, 2008 at 12:16 am
#107,
what the hell, you sure about that???
Dec 16, 2008 at 12:14 am
i am voting for the 16/7, i got me 2 of those packs…!
Dec 16, 2008 at 12:13 am
i haven’t read the comments yet, but i see some already, the 8s lovers, what? no love for your 8s… didn’t think so…!
Dec 15, 2008 at 11:26 pm
HARE JORDAN!!!
Dec 15, 2008 at 11:04 pm

Dec 15, 2008 at 9:25 pm
definitely the 17/6 all the way
Dec 15, 2008 at 8:59 pm
a good match up in game 6.i would have to say 7/16’s package
Dec 15, 2008 at 8:20 pm
If u go by best package (which is the idea of this tourney) u have say that the 10/13 pack and 11/12 pack will b the championships match up. The real winner will b whom ever has both packs!!!!!!!
Dec 15, 2008 at 8:19 pm
i wish i coulda copped da 16/7’s so bad theyre both hot the 16’s are underrated
Dec 15, 2008 at 8:01 pm

Dec 15, 2008 at 7:47 pm
flawless victory 7/16
Dec 15, 2008 at 7:46 pm
16/7 HANDS DOWN
BUT THEM 8S IS FRESH
Dec 15, 2008 at 7:23 pm
16.7 easy
Dec 15, 2008 at 7:21 pm
16/7
Dec 15, 2008 at 7:17 pm
I like all four shoes, but I like the 16/7s better. No matter how solid the 16/7s are, they will meet their demise to the 11/12s
Dec 15, 2008 at 7:12 pm
7/16 !!!!!!!!!!!!
HARES ALL DAY =]
Dec 15, 2008 at 6:41 pm
8+15 allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
Dayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy 8+15 8+15 8+15 8+15 8+15 8+15 8+15 8+15 8+15
Dec 15, 2008 at 6:29 pm
I loved the 7 and 16 and copped the pack, but I skipped on the 8/15. I mean, I’m not feeling those 15s and the pair I have are enough, and the 8s were retroed not too long ago anyways. While the Hares are yet to be retroed, along with the 16s, and both shoes are hot. Easy win for the 7/16 pack and one of the most over looked packs released, def a top 3 for me in terms of total package…
Dec 15, 2008 at 6:22 pm
7/16….
the only pack i got…
two og’s colourway…. hare is dope!!!!
Dec 15, 2008 at 6:16 pm
7/16 is the best package other then the 13/10s
Dec 15, 2008 at 6:08 pm
7/16 of course we talking about the hares
Dec 15, 2008 at 6:04 pm
7/16
Dec 15, 2008 at 5:55 pm
7/ 16 hands down
Dec 15, 2008 at 5:45 pm
This 7/16 pack better enjoy victory while it can lol!
Dec 15, 2008 at 5:23 pm
16/7, no competition for them in dis round
Dec 15, 2008 at 5:02 pm
716 .. i voted 8.. but only cuz i knew no matter wut i said the 7 pack was gonna win.. hahaha.
Dec 15, 2008 at 4:59 pm
i loooooove the 8’s… but the 15’s… there 15’s!!! but the 16’s on the other hand are my personal favorite jordans that he never actually wore, the best shioe after the 14’s & the hares are CRAZY!!! so 16/7 cdp all the way
Dec 15, 2008 at 4:53 pm
tough one for me but i went 8/15 cuz the 8’s are amazing and i don’t hate the 15’s at all
Dec 15, 2008 at 4:47 pm
When I really think about it the 7/16 is the best PACK. Neither is the best shoe, but this is the best pack. 11/12 woulda had it with playoff 12s but they used the worst colorway of the 12s.
Dec 15, 2008 at 4:41 pm
is that really Bow Wow that posted that comment ?
Just in case it is and he somehow ends up reading this comment , BOW WOW IS NOT THE KING OF JORDANS !
BTW I voted the 8 ‘ s and 15 ‘ s . . I ‘ ve never really been into 7 ‘ s like that . . and I think the 16 ‘ s are UNBEARABLE !
Dec 15, 2008 at 4:32 pm
It’s because of the 7’s why I voted for the 7/16 CDP!
Dec 15, 2008 at 4:11 pm
16/17’s all day
but 11/12 jus murderded them in next round.
Dec 15, 2008 at 4:02 pm
easy 16/7. Bought them when they came out and still havent touched. 7’s are sick and 16’s are one of my fav.
Dec 15, 2008 at 4:00 pm
da 16s and da 7s got it hands down no questions asked
Dec 15, 2008 at 3:55 pm
7/16s although i love the 8s
Dec 15, 2008 at 3:55 pm
i like the 7 and 16 but i have the 15s and 8s they are my favorite two jordans i hate the sixteens but them 7s win it for them!!
Dec 15, 2008 at 3:54 pm

Dec 15, 2008 at 3:52 pm

Dec 15, 2008 at 3:40 pm
got both packs and love all 4 shoes…man this is tough!!! May have to vote for the 7/16 pack solely cause of the Hares being retroed for the first time and its a classic
Dec 15, 2008 at 3:38 pm
7/16 are killing the 8/15!!
Dec 15, 2008 at 3:36 pm
7/16 all the way got the pack but sold my 16’s kinda sad they grew on me after i sold them o well
Dec 15, 2008 at 3:36 pm

Dec 15, 2008 at 3:32 pm
OMG! common da 8’s are way more sexy dan those 7 common now 4real
Dec 15, 2008 at 3:31 pm

Dec 15, 2008 at 3:19 pm
16/7 is the winner in this match
Dec 15, 2008 at 3:11 pm
Most def the 16/7.
Dec 15, 2008 at 3:08 pm
i’d like to see a close match up i mean come on everypack that has won has one by a landslide…..its gonna be the same here
Dec 15, 2008 at 3:00 pm
clear winner the 16/7 are a much much better pack…..you caant the icy bottoms of the 16s and then hares speak 4 them self……..anybody see the hares jordan 1 Easter edition
Dec 15, 2008 at 2:59 pm

Dec 15, 2008 at 2:59 pm
7/16 package is gonna take it the 15 arent as attractive as the rest and dont really stand a chance against the hares..we know who won this 1
Dec 15, 2008 at 2:57 pm
16/7 is way better
Dec 15, 2008 at 2:51 pm
16/7 is one of the few packs where I like both shoes so this is a no brainer.
Dec 15, 2008 at 2:49 pm
Oh, if any1 wanna sell me their AJ 12 TAXI’s sz.13 from da package, holla @ me. I still have my 11’s from ‘01, so I’m not gonna waste money on coppin’ them.
Dec 15, 2008 at 2:48 pm
the Hares one of the baddest Jordans to ever come out………..
Dec 15, 2008 at 2:48 pm
16/7. I was waiting for the the OG 16’s and the Hare Jordan to come back. Anybody remember the Cherrywood 16’s. I need a pair! Size 8.5!!
Dec 15, 2008 at 2:46 pm
Final 4 is going to be interesting to see who passes on to the next round. All packs are very strong. 10/13, 6/17, 7/16, and 11/12.
Dec 15, 2008 at 2:45 pm
7/16
Dec 15, 2008 at 2:45 pm
I hav da 7/16’s ! Hare’s are the best!
Dec 15, 2008 at 2:43 pm
7/16
Dec 15, 2008 at 2:41 pm
eventhough I love da 16’s, I wasn’t really thrilled bout da “HARE” colorway of da 7’s. But that 15/8 pack iz just crushin’ da scene rite-now. Them 15’s iz oh-so shiny and who doesn’t love da OG color of da 8’s. 15/8’s for me. Next round please!
Dec 15, 2008 at 2:27 pm
1st!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dec 15, 2008 at 2:16 pm
hares!!, they oded on tht 8s colorway .
Dec 15, 2008 at 2:01 pm
7/16 till the world blow up sorry 11/12 overrated im really thinkin of passing on it butttt idk yet lol
Dec 15, 2008 at 1:59 pm
the 7 is one of my favorites yes but not this colorway the 16’s and the 15’s are trash and the 8’s are hot in this colorway i voted the 8/15 but i know the outcome hey i’m being true to myself
Dec 15, 2008 at 1:59 pm
XVIs TODOS LOS DIAS BABY! GIGGIDY GIGGIDY GOO!
Dec 15, 2008 at 1:57 pm
VII/XVI easy…
Dec 15, 2008 at 1:51 pm
gotta stick wit da 8’s
Dec 15, 2008 at 1:47 pm
R U F’n SERIOUS?!?!?!??? The 8’s carry da 15/8 by themselves.
Dec 15, 2008 at 1:46 pm
this one is too easy 16/7
Dec 15, 2008 at 1:45 pm
wow man u just cant beat that 16/7 package thats one of the best cdp’s of the year so most def
Dec 15, 2008 at 1:38 pm
gotta luv the “hares” so 6/17 gots this vote…
Dec 15, 2008 at 1:37 pm
i actually sat in hea 4 a good grip…thinkin bout this package…i have both of em…but to decide which 1 is betta dat was hard….i actually took both of em n put em in front of mii 2 look at
well i decided….went wit da 7/16 CDP on dis 1 jus cuz is a fresher pack 2 wea n look at….still much love for da 8/15 CDP tho
Dec 15, 2008 at 1:35 pm
Hare and 16 easy choice and nice kicks will choice em to win this contest ppl soooo00o0. ;_)
Dec 15, 2008 at 1:30 pm
Like I said in a earlier comment which ever pack has both the better shoes should win but its hard wit these two packs because the hare 7s are better than the og 8s but the 15s are better than the 16s but since the 7s are more hyped I would pick the 7/16 pack for this round… But hands down the 10/13 pack is 1 or 2 it should make it to the championship…
Dec 15, 2008 at 1:30 pm
Like I said in a earlier comment which ever pack has both the better shoes should win but its hard wit these two packs because the hare 7s are better than the og 8s but the 15s are better than the 16s but since the 7s are more hyped I would pick the 7/16 pack for this round… But hands down the 10/13 pack is 1 or 2 it should make it to the championship…
Dec 15, 2008 at 1:17 pm
this was a hard one but them 7s is the ones to go wit and they was my first pair of Js i owned…to bad they gona fall to the 11/12s…saturday baby i caaannnt wait!!
Dec 15, 2008 at 12:57 pm
The 7’s and the 8’s would go the distance with one another if this were a boxing match… and the 16’s remind me of a remixed pair of 11’s from the future. But CDPs versus CDPs factoring styling, performance, comfort and function the 8/15 CDP’s are VICTORIOUS!!!
Dec 15, 2008 at 12:55 pm
i love the 7’s man i cant get enough of these kicks…………..
Dec 15, 2008 at 12:54 pm
ew wtf why is nicekicks copying complex with the marchmaddness type thing with sneakers…biters
Dec 15, 2008 at 12:48 pm
16/7………..hands down
Dec 15, 2008 at 12:47 pm
i want the 2010 pack with the bred xx3s and the hare is
Dec 15, 2008 at 12:44 pm
those viis cant hold a match on 8s and the xvis are so-so but that tad bit of red made those 15s look crucial.8/15 b–ches! with all those viiis that dropped in 07 i just want the xv from this packAGE. jordans with straps under viis; yall are on drugs. if they were the bordeaux viis i would have voted vii/16
Dec 15, 2008 at 12:41 pm
My fault I meant 16/7
Dec 15, 2008 at 12:40 pm
This was kind of an easy one 17/6 even though I love them 8’s
Dec 15, 2008 at 12:40 pm
17/6 no contest. Those Hares are so fire, and the 16’s without the shrout (I think that’s what it’s called at least) are killin’ it!
Dec 15, 2008 at 12:33 pm
The 7’s are so FreakiN’ Cute!
Dec 15, 2008 at 12:13 pm
Hares!
Dec 15, 2008 at 12:12 pm
17/6 Easy
Dec 15, 2008 at 12:09 pm
I like the 8’s but the 15’s are a little weak to me…
So its 16/7 all the way
Dec 15, 2008 at 12:00 pm
7/16’s all day…once again i feel sorry for the VIII’s…they got the fat kid on there team =/
Dec 15, 2008 at 11:56 am
7s and 16s
Dec 15, 2008 at 11:56 am
had to go with the 6/17
Dec 15, 2008 at 11:51 am
Ummmmm, yeah… Gotta go with da 16/7! Dis package iz just a BEAST! Hare 7′z r ridiculous and da 16′z r just so damn jazzy!
Dec 15, 2008 at 11:46 am
11/12 is the winner. no question ask thank you !
Dec 15, 2008 at 11:44 am
definately gotta go with the 7/16..imo this pack does not get as much credit as it deserves..the hares are finally being retroed and the 16’s are not a bad shoe at all..i actually have grown to like them alot..definately a great pack..if JB would have came out with the obsidian 15’s this might have been closer..
Dec 15, 2008 at 11:41 am
the 7/16 package was hot but the 8s were nice too. but the 15 look like spaceships. LoL!!!!!
Dec 15, 2008 at 11:39 am
i pick neither one cause both packs are horrible IMO…Jordan Brand has yet to put out a pack worthy enough for me to spend my money on…That will all change later this week though…woot woot
Dec 15, 2008 at 11:35 am
8/15 easy choice!! The 16 is horrible, the 7 is best shoes in the pack. As for the 8/15 both shoes look good to me. 8/15!! Easy pick!! LOSERS!!!!
Dec 15, 2008 at 11:34 am
they all ugly
Dec 15, 2008 at 11:29 am
the 15/8 pkg is on point i am definitely feeling this pkg all the way real talk.
Dec 15, 2008 at 11:28 am
7/16 was the most solid pack IMO. skipped the 16 but it’s still an attractive shoe. I will vote for this over the 11/12, though I know it will lose. now if the 12s were playoffs…
Dec 15, 2008 at 11:26 am
6,17 hands down Why doesnt jordan stop making fusions and just make different colorways in all the other shoes previously made???
Dec 15, 2008 at 11:25 am
y are the polls sayin 20/3 and 10/13 but um goin wit 16/7 loved that pack
Dec 15, 2008 at 11:25 am
16/7 CDP! The 7’s are bbbeeaaauuuttiiifffuuulllll….
Dec 15, 2008 at 11:25 am
Whoever wins this one is going to have a brutal battle against the Jordan 11/12 CDP in the Final Four.
Dec 15, 2008 at 11:24 am
I’m Peeping swag!
Dec 15, 2008 at 11:24 am
as much as i love 8’s, i love 7’s more..
Dec 15, 2008 at 11:22 am
love the 16/7’s the 7’s is what makes it the best and the 16’s can’t go wrong with that
Dec 15, 2008 at 11:22 am
pssssbt!….7/16 all day c’mon now
Dec 15, 2008 at 11:19 am
16/7 alll da way!!

Dec 15, 2008 at 11:18 am
7’s carry it alone…..GOD I WISH I WOULDNT HAVE PASSED
