Air Jordan 8 Retro Orange Blaze

At the beginning of this year, one of the first batch of Air Jordan 8 Retro Samples on the Internet was the one we evaluated today. It was designed with white, gray and orange as the main design. NIKE named it Orange Blaze. (Orange flame), which means that this sneaker reveals an irresistible enthusiasm in the color. This is the most appropriate description of the mood of the fans looking forward to the Air Jordan 8 Retro. When the Air Jordan 8 accompanied Jordan to win his first three consecutive championships, he also set a record of 41 points per game. The Air Jordan 8 itself is a work that combines the advantages of the 6th and 7th generations. In that era, it was perfect. That's why today's shoe fans are looking forward to the Air Jordan 8. Closer to home, let's take a look at what the 2007 version of the land will bring.


"Inner boots plus upper straps" is the most distinctive feature of the Air Jordan 8, of course, this configuration also brings an excellent sense of wrapping and comfortable wearing. With the advancement of the manufacturing industry, the Air Jordan 8 Retro has taken this advantage to the next level. Out of the consistent impression of the Air Jordan shoes combined with the wide-ranging reality of the feet, the individual chose a shoe that is half a yard larger than usual to evaluate, the effect is surprisingly good. Especially the surge of comfort, so Xiaobian is a bit reluctant to take off his shoes.

Of course, the distinctive upper cross straps are not perfect. Although the original intention of the concept or design is to rely on it to increase the support of the upper and maintain the stability of the upper, because the middle section has been dug up a large piece of material, trying to reduce the amount of rubber. Why do you have to desperately lose weight in the middle? The reason is that in order to avoid the problem of the Air Jordan 7's ankle protection being too weak, the Air Jordan 8 desperately increases the heel support and the filler near the upper, which of course includes the addition of this strap. Because of these additions, it is necessary to reduce the weight. However, after adding this strap, the stability of the upper is still not good enough, and the support in the middle is still criticized. And even if a big hole was dug, the weight of the sneakers still did not drop, it was still very heavy.

After reading the above reasoning, is there a feeling of "around a circle", as if NIKE did a bunch of live results and did useless work? Is it hard to be this bondage band? Of course not. Its most important role is to strengthen the ankle protection. At this point, it also does quite well. The Air Jordan 8 Retro's ankle protection can only be described as perfect. The oversized heel support, almost the high-top upper, the thick filler plus the inner boot wrap, the cross strap, and of course the excellent torsion assist system of the large PU material on the sole. These are all good qualities that help Air Jordan 8 Retro achieve the ultimate performance of ankle protection.


In addition to the very large area of ​​the "art renderings", the Air Jordan 8 Retro's soles are inspired by the design of running shoes. Historically, the design of the Outer Bottom of the Air Jordan 8 has been mixed. Some people say that it is not as functional as the herringbone pattern and the fishbone pattern. Some people say that its gorgeous and novel outsole is flashy. Of course, there are also appreciations for this design, such as Xiaobian. Personally, the Air Jordan 8 Retro's outsole is very high, and it has a good performance in both the cement and rubber fields.

You must praise the performance of the Air Jordan 8 Retro's damping system. Although the Air-Sole is not as soft as the Max Air, the boost is not as efficient as the Zoom Air, but the Air Jordan 8 Retro uses a very distinctive combination, also in the buffer and boost. Both sides showed a good state. The midsole technology, which looks like a "moderate", is actually very practical and comfortable.

Finally, summarize some details. First of all, because of the presence of the upper cross strap, the solution and the tie of the shoelace are very troublesome. Secondly, although the weight is somewhat "excessive", because the shoe has a wide range of applications, the weight of the Air Jordan 8 Retro is not a big problem for non-speed players. Finally, the gluing of the strap is careful not to scratch the laces, which will affect its life.
