Details About the 11/23 Jordan 8 Retro DB Doernbecher

The AJ VIII features a two cross-strap design around the laces, which distinguishes it from other Air Jordan models and retains its legacy as a signature '90s sneaker style. The silhouette is renowned for its iconic chenille tongue graphic design.

When the Jordan 8 Retro Low was introduced in 2003, it featured a low-top silhouette and one cross-strap detail around the laces. Otherwise, it maintained the Jordan 8's original design integrity.

History of Air Jordan 8

The Air Jordan 8 holds a lot of sentimental significance to sneakerheads and collectors. It first released in 1993—the year of MJ's "three-peat" championship season. The AJ XIII is also distinguished for being the last shoe Michael Jordan wore before his first retirement.

Created by the legendary designer Tinker Hatfield, the Air Jordan 8 initially released at a retail price of $125. Highly sought-after models that carry significant resale values include the Air Jordan 8 Retro DB Doernbecher colorway ($400 to $1,200), the OVO collection ($350 to $500) and the coveted Air Jordan 8 PE series that can fetch anywhere from 2,500 to over $10,000.

Other noteworthy, collectable styles include the Jordan 8 Retro in Champagne and Bugs Bunny colorways, which resale for around $225 to $500 and $200 to $450, respectively.

Jordan 8 Retro DB Doernbecher 2014

This special Jordan 8 Retro colorway made its debut at the Portland Art Museum. This colorway was designed by Caden Lambert, a patient at Doernbecher Children's Hospital who has been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease known as Guillain-Barré syndrome. Caden is a basketball player himself, so on the shoe's cross-strap design, he replaced Michael Jordan's jersey number with his own jersey number, '14.' The upper is almost entirely in a speckled blue with orange, black, and yellow accents. The tongue on the left shoe has a red Jumpman logo on it, while the tongue on the right shoe has a graphic design of a cobra. There are also inspirational quotes all over the shoe, saying things like "Rock On," "Brave," and "Hang Loose."
