Name: Air Jordan 8 “Chrome” Colorway: Black/Chrome SKU: 305381-007 MSRP: $215 USD Release Date: August 29, 2026 Where to Buy: Nike

Jordan Brand has officially announced the return of the Air Jordan 8 “Chrome” as part of its Fall 2026 lineup. The non-original colorway makes its long-awaited comeback more than ten years after its last reissue in 2015.

Originally debuting in 2003, the “Chrome” colorway quickly built a dedicated cult following for its clean, versatile aesthetic. The 2026 reissue returns with a fit and shape crafted more accurately to the original mold. Built with a premium black nubuck upper, the sneaker features chrome-colored hardware across the strap buckles and midsole, complemented by shades of grey on the chenille tongue patch and mudguard accents.

Signature 1990s design cues remain intact throughout the silhouette, including classic crossover straps and perforated overlays across the upper. The monochrome execution pays homage to the original Air Jordan 8 model worn by Michael Jordan during his third consecutive NBA championship win in 1993, delivering a timeless look that seamlessly bridges sport heritage and contemporary streetwear.

The Air Jordan 8 “Chrome” officially drops on August 29, 2026, for a retail price of $215 USD via select Jordan Brand stockists and Nike SNKRS.
