Air Jordan 8 is considered to be more of a lifestyle model than the basketball shoe! The reason for this is not because they are not good for basketball, but because of their weight. These shoes appear to be much heavier than the previous models because of the thicker cushions and even though they provide much better firmness and stability, they are still heavy! Air Jordan VIII appeared during the NBA season of 92 and 93! This model is known for many different names that glued to it, but the most famous one is the "Punisher"! This nickname was given to them because of the great ankle support that they provide and even though they are somewhat heavier than other shoes, they provide the ultimate protection to feet which is one of the most important things during a basketball game! Air-soles and other regular features are present alongside with the polyurethane mid-sole, and polycarbonate shank plate. This combination of technology and material gives the impression that your feet are stored in some spongy texture and that you can take any blow and still be on your feet. The two crossover straps provide great firmness and even though the shoes are heavy, you have the feeling of stability while wearing them.
