Air Jordan 8 Quentin Richardson PE

Air Jordan 8 Quentin Richardson PE Earlier, we spotlighted Joe Johnson in our Kicks On Court hooping in the Air Jordan 8 Black/Varsity Red-White “Playoffs”. To keep the Air Jordan 8 theme going, we have now spotted another exclusive Jordan 8 PE.

Although we have spotted Quentin Richardson sporting a nice Jordan 6 Rings PE lately, we would rather see him lace up this never-before-seen Air Jordan 8 PE. Inspired by the New York Knicks colorway, this sneaker features a predominately white upper with blue and orange accents on the midsole, tongue, heel and inner lining. ‘Q23″, one of Richardson’s nicknames, is featured on the ankle area.

Although the Air Jordan 8 Quentin Richardson PE released at House of Hoops last year, this particular shoe was specifically made for Quentin Richardson. You can purchase this PE at OSneaker now. Click the jump to view more photos of the Air Jordan 8 Quentin Richardson PE.

Air Jordan Countdown Pack 8/15 Release Reminder

Air Jordan Countdown Pack 8/15/VIII Release ReminderThe latestAir Jordan Countdown Pack featuring the Air Jordan 8 and Air Jordan 15, will hit retailers like Concepts this Saturday.

The original white/black-red colorway of the Air Jordan VIII returns along side a new black/red colorway of the Air Jordan 15. Probably one of the best non original colorways to be released, at least of the AJ 15.

It’s a coin toss whether this pack will be in high demand, but hit up your local spot to make sure they’ll have them for you in the morning.

Check out photos of each pair after the jump.

In Retrospect: Air Jordan 8 Aqua

In retrospect: Air Jordan 8 AquaThe Air Jordan 8 will make a comeback in November as a one half of the Jordan 15/8 Countdown Pack bringing the third and final original colorway of the Air Jordan 8 to release in just over a year.

One year ago today, the Jordan 8 Aqua retro released for the first time since its original release just after the 1993 NBA All-Star Game. Also, a women’s “aqua” colorway was released with a white color base and reflective 3M back panel. Though the shoes appeared to sell through at retail stores, we noticed that one can carefully find a pair on eBay for only a few dollars over the retail price of $140.

Looking back in retrospect what do you think of these Air Jordans? Did you purchase or pass? Any regrets either way? Share your thoughts after the jump.

Air Jordan 8 from Countdown Pack

AtomicsJust last week we recieved our first look at the Countdown Pack Air Jordan 15 and now its better half has surfaced. As expected, the Air Jordan 8 representative for the Jordan 15/8 Countdown Package is the original White/Grey-Red colorup since last fall saw the release of the only other two original colorways.

For you youngin’s, this colorway might look a little familiar and that is because it did return when the Jordan 8 first retroed in 2003. Thanks once again to the perennial first look at any Jordan dropping people at Marqueesole.com.

The photos of the Jordan 11 and Jordan 12 Countdown Pack might you ask? Stay tuned - coming to a Nice Kicks near you.

Air Jordan 8 PE for Kobe Bryant

Air Jordan 8 PE Kobe Game Worn and SignedWhile there could be a valid debate on whether Kobe had better signature shoes with Adidas or Nike, no one can deny that his “unsigned” year was the greatest. Part of his agreement with Adidas when the two parted ways was that Kobe had to have 1 year unsigned to any brand and not wear one brand’s shoes more than 3 games in a row. 

Never officially a member of Jordan Brand, Kobe was treated with some of the best Jordan PEs ever (except for the man himself of course). Kobe received the Air Jordan 3, Air Jordan 7, *Update* Air Jordan 9 (got schooled by the dean), and Air Jordan 8 in special PE makeups to wear during the 2002-03 season. As for how many of each were produced, we have no clue, but finding them is an extreme rarity.

A month or so ago at the Funkmaster Flex Sneaker Battle in Edison, NJ we did come across a pair of the Kobe PE Jordan 8’s, but even better that the shoe itself, they were game worn and signed by Kobe. These shoes won the award for Best Jordan in show. The current price on eBay reflects just how rare and special these shoes are (click to see).
