Jordan Brand combined the original style of the Air Jordan VIII with footwear technology of 2011 and created the Air Jordan 8.0. This basketball sneaker is now much lighter and supportive than ever before. The Air Jordan 8.0 still looks similar to the original AJ VIII, but features Flywire technology instead of a bulky internal padding, lighter materials on the upper, and sleeker "cross straps." Jordan Brand also removed the carpeted "Jumpman" logo on the tongue.
