Air Jordan 8 “Gunsmoke” Gets New Details

When you think of Michael Jordan sneakers from the 90s, the Air Jordan 8 probably doesn’t immediately jump out at you. Overall, this is a great sneaker. Although, the issue is the fact that these are massive sneakers that do not fit every single person. You have to have the correct frame in order to rock these, and not everyone possesses that. Regardless, if you are a sneakerhead, you should be able to acknowledge that this is a fantastic offering. After all, it capped off MJ’s first three-peat which has to count for something.

This is a special year for the Air Jordan 8 as the shoe is celebrating its 30th anniversary. That is a huge milestone for any sneaker, and Jordan Brand is making sure they celebrate correctly. This consequently means that we will be seeing a whole bunch of amazing new colorways. Furthermore, it means we are going to be hit with teasers over the next few months. Many of these teasers continue to come down the pipeline, and the hype for the rest of the year is palpable.

Drake’s All-Gold OVO x Air Jordan 8 Sample Surfaces Online

Drake is someone who is known for having an impressive and extensive sneaker closet. Over the years, Drake has even partnered with the likes of Nike. Additionally, he has made shoes with Jordan Brand. For instance, the Air Jordan 8, 10, and 12 are all silhouettes that he has worked on.

Of course, Drake had some special sneakers made for himself, that never hit the market. Although these shoes are highly sought after, they are for Drake only. This is disappointing for a lot of sneakerheads, however, it keeps an air of mystique around the kicks.

Drake OVO x Air Jordan 8

As we previously mentioned, Drake has his very own version of the Air Jordan 8. These OVO models took black and white bases and merged them with gold aesthetics. The legendary artist has always displayed opulence in his shoes, and that was no different here.

Now, however, it appears as though a special sample has surfaced online. Thanks to the Instagram account @EnglishSole, we now have a look at these all-gold Air Jordan 8s. Simply put, they are spectacular. The shoe begins with an all-gold upper, with very little room to breathe. There is some white on the midsole and inner lining, however, gold reigns supreme here.

Overall, these are incredibly gorgeous. If you are a sneakerhead who loves Jordans and Drake, then these are going to impress you. Unfortunately, you are never going to actually be able to buy them. They are simply too rare, and not for sale. You could always ask the artist for a pair, however, he’ll probably say no.
