The Jordan 8 Retro Playoffs (2023) (PS) was released alongside the adult-sized version of the AJ8 Retro Playoffs (2023). The sneaker celebrates the 30th anniversary of the shoe Michael Jordan wore while winning his third NBA championship in ’93.
The 2023 PS sneaker returns to the original model’s specifications with child-size modifications as a way to pay homage to the AJ8. It features a black, nubuck upper with a tonal overlay strap that wraps around the foot. The overlay on the lateral side panel houses a cutout that reveals a leather material with small perforations. The all-black upper is interrupted by splashes of red and white, including the red Jumpman logo on the tongue and the ‘23’ on the strap.
