The retro 8s have been making a bit of noise as of the last year. You don’t see too many 8s being released but last year gave us two of the most classic 8s ever with the Aquas and Bugs Bunny and this year is finishing off the triplet with the infamous Chrome colorway releasing this fall.
The Chrome’s are a fan-favorite sneaker, let’s get into the release details.

Where Can You Buy the Air Jordan 8 ‘Chrome’ on Release Day?
Most Jordan Brand retailers such as Foot Locker, Champs, JD, Snipes, Hibbett and others will have the Chrome 8s on hand. Expect a high number of pairs through the Nike and SNKRS app when the time comes especially if you want that easy and seamless checkout process.
Why Does the Return of the Chrome 8s Matter?
Not being on the sneaker scene since 2015, the long-awaited return of one of the most essential retro 8s is almost over. The drought of the 8s has also seem to come to an end as we are getting two additional retro 8s in the Cavs and Bin 23 colorways along with the Chrome’s. If you are like me and have a love for the 8s, this year is the time to grab one of the colorways releasing this fall.
Should You Cop the Air Jordan 8 ‘Chrome’
Short answer yes. If you are a fan of grails then the Chrome’s are the go-to for you. We haven’t seen these in over a decade so having them in the collection would be a real standout sneaker, one of those “if you know you know” type of kicks. I do think these will do big numbers in stores once they release so I would hop on them quick.
The 8s are making a strong comeback in the sneaker game, will you be copping the Chrome’s when the time comes?
