Since the Air Jordan 8 was first released in 1993, it has been re-released in various colorways. The Air Jordan 8 Retro Arctic Punch was introduced exclusively in grade school sizes for kids in 2021. This AJ8 was designed as a spring and summer sneaker, featuring a white perforated leather upper with cream and peach overlays. Bright summery colors such as orange, pink, and gold are scattered throughout the design. Nike expanded this colorway into a collection of Arctic Punch-themed shoes, including the Air Jordan 1 Mid. Additionally, crafted for big kids, the Air Jordan 8 Retro ‘Light Arctic Pink’ showcases a candy-bright combination of colors, with a signature cross-strap design in pink and Orange Pearl securing a white leather upper. It features pink and orange accents on the embroidered tongue patch and brush-stroke heel overlays, and rides on a sculpted white foam midsole with an Air-sole unit in the heel and a pink rubber outsole.
