Air Jordan 8 playoff 1993/2023 comparison 

That white lining is hitting with the og 🔥🔥🔥

Just got these yesterday. Last size 11 at jd sports. I mean every word of this. These sneakers are literally like having twin Ferraris on your feet. Too good.

imma be real i like how the 2023 playoffs look , they retro's so they gone make adjustments like they do every release , its a bit funny though how they fixed some things but switched up other things form the 2013 joints they released . The 8's though are a sneaker which og jordan fans mostly only wear , great comparison

My guy with the good OG content Gawd jcpenny is wild

Finally somebody who did a comparison I’ve been waiting on lol

2023 version is 🔥🔥🔥

Man that shape and the white edges it is way better on the og Nike fucked this up and now I can’t unsee that on my pair great comparison video damn Nike

Legit review, really well done dude! You hit on all the same points I found with these except for the red bottom soles- I didn't catch that part. Overall same thoughts- 7.5 but happy with these. Something else I noticed about the 2023 retro- The textured durabuck gives the the color almost a slightly ligher appearance than the suede on the straps, it reminded me of the "92 playoffs having that subtle difference.

Oh yeah! I been watching for it!! Let’s gooo!!!

The aqua Chenille’s patch is just soooo 🔥🔥🔥

The new play off retro is the sneaker of the yr

FINALLY got my pair of 8s. I remembered when they came out I was 6 years old😊

4 mins into the vid and I can already tell it will be better the. The other comparison vids I have seen on RU-vid. Shame bro, when these cats get slight love from Jordan Brand the reviewers sell their “sole” 😂. Thanks for the honesty bro! Salute

their both dope, but i’m leaning towards the 23’s and with that i’ll probably cop the 23’s and keep it moving

Made in China vs Made in Taiwan that says it all

Thanks for the comparison I had the og one in 1993 best times you just earn a new subscriber.

I did not expect these bad boys to sell out hopefully i can find a pair on eBay for a reasonable price but i definitely like the OG pair better . Nice toe box on the 2023 pair but thats it in my opinion. Great review !

The toe box is the best on the 2023 imo but the 93 has the best cuts, overall shape and matieral.

Great video

Great video!

Thank you sir best comparison I've seen all week. I made my mind up if I get them it will be at the outlet or clearance won't pay 210+Tax 4 this it aint OG Lol nice tho

I have to be real the 07 playoff release looks just like the the original from 93 for sure

I had the quai 54 2019 and the toe box was sensational

Hi, great comparison! As a 13 years old Chinese boy in 1993, Michael Jordan was a nonsense to me until the day I saw there’s an exchange students from Japan had this definitely the most exotic and colorful space-origin-footwear-like looking object on his feet running on our basketball court. I was like a virgin saw something…I can’t say too much detail about it but u know what I mean… and it was after that day I understood there a new world far from mine called NBA and there’s a bold handsome looking guy whose name is Michael Jordan wearing same pair of shoes-like object… aj8 is the one and only Air Jordan to me, bought this pair when I just aware it got released this year yesterday, so many nostalgic memories back to me🎉

Just got mine and white aqua 8s in the mail

Very interesting to see the comparison. Thank you! I agree its a shame they didn't live up to the 2015 aquas and be closer to the original 93s. Still grabbed a pair to replace my 07s though.

Aquas from 2015 blow these out

The white lining in the upper of the original really helps the shoe. The lack of it in the new retro makes it look too plain.

Another banger video. You’re channel exclusively caters to the purest 🤌

After seeing these up close, I like these, but I'm going to keep my 07s. Definitely not red tab, but the closest to the OG in my humble opinion...

Great job dude!!!

A lot of ppl complain about the new ones not having the white edges. But I like them without it I think it’s looks better. That’s just my opinion tho

Just makes me more relieved that I missed these on release date and even more patient to wait until tht price comes down to eventually pull the trigger to get them

Did if they hired you and Wear Testers guy they'd be on point. Get it done JB Those white lines missing really take away from the shoe plus being all same black without the different tones and textures. C'mon jordan

Also i was born same year this shoe originally released n the shoe looks great on feet

I notice the Jordan logo on the box on the 2023 is in front of the “air Jordan” instead of in back of it.

These are a 8 man they did a phenomenal job besides the toe cut but i believe they wanted a More uniformed Look fron the side Profile of the shoe

Everything you hate that was changed , i love lol. Im glad the white outlines are gone, feeling the narrow toe box... but hey i get it, you dont want ANY changes.

The retro looks like a DH gate version of the OG

It's amazing how much better the white edges look on the original vs. the 2023. How did Nike fuck that up? I like the original's shape better too ... next to the originals, these look like average/below average reps. for $210. Great video but I kinda wish I didn't watch it because I cannot unsee the lack of white edges and shape.

#redpulltabsofbust baby let's go

🔥🔥🔥 broo

I think the higher booty on the 93 version was done this way cause people used to actually ball in Jordans. Not that it wasn't a fashion statement then, but it's more now than ever so no need for the extra ankle support if ya catch my drift.

Never knew JCPenney sold Jordans. Great content

They feel way more narrow than I remember. My pinky toe is struggling in these. I didn't have that issue on the last retro. Would've sized up if I knew that

That's my only issue, the arch or curve of the top towards the back heel. From the back view you can see that the retro is wider than the original

Those aquas are clean!

No 1 is talking about the 2 toned black on the 2023 pair. Jordan brand messed it up with that. It's not true the og. My playoff 8s from 2013 is not 2 toned nor is the aqua from 2015.

The toe box is better in the 23 pair..give it a more sleek look

Eh. Sold off all my Js. As an OG owner of many of these shoes, it feels to me that today's Nike is counterfitting the og versions with fake type leather and shapes. Thanks for proving my point. Great comparo vid

23 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Dang! You wasn't kidding when you said this was a popular video.😂🙌

90’s pair are better than the 2023 all day long

Dope 👍🏽 🔥🔥

Can never understand why Nike can't make them the same as the og.

I wish Jordan brand could bring back Durabuk

great video!! the mud guard is as long as the aqua. I thought on the photo it will be longer than the aqua, so it is a good point. I regret to sent back my aqua 2015. I'm stupid!! I didin't understand what you said about the straps.

I like these and the shape looks good to me but I am not crazy about the aqua shape so 😅

They went overboard with that flat toebox. Nike execs must've been mistakenly reading about 4s instead...Thankfully my 2013 bugs bunny's still hold up great

Good video. The price of the last J’s is a shame.

You know what’s funny the 2007 pair the textured durabuck is identical to your og pair.

Hello did you notice that the midsole and the outsole is softer than on the aqua?

High-key if they retro raptor 7s I hope they do the split material like these

Wow I never knew jc penny sold Jordan's

Does this fit like the jordan 1? because the jordan 1 fit perfect on me as a 10.

They Did Good But They Could’ve Been At Least Had The Upper Like 2015 Aqua VIII That Would’ve Been Icing On A Cake But Aye Good Thing I Have My 1993 Pair For 3 Years Now

They used that damn Durabuck that was used on 2009-12 Jordan Retros on the Straps I don’t know why they did that.

Why would you complain about the tag not being on the tongue? That's a huge upgrade so you can actually see the entire design on the tongue

Y ya 2023 retro jumpman gut stickin out? 😂

I wonder if once these 2023 retro gets worn enough 🤔 will the white start to shiw on the edges

It s not even à black playoff 8 more of a grey/ black ! So Jordan is now color blind if he cant notice that !

I hear ya and see what you are saying but that is some major nit picking

Them aqua 8’s are not cut like the 93’s you tweaking lol

Damn bruh u be nitpicking haaard!!! Good review though 👊🏼

I really don’t care if don’t have the white edges it looks better to me all blacked out my opinion that’s the closest you can get from the Jordan eight playoffs I bought two pairs of them. Those were the 90s bro no 80s

2023 better

i have size 11.. who wants

Red pull tab cannot be that big of a deal man. I’m starting to think you RU-vidrs just copy each other

Nah the 2013 was better

This retro is trash compared to the OG. This vid makes me not even want my pair anymore.

The modern Jordan's are terrible replicas

Another overpriced shoe you can only wear twice. Horrible

They really should of kept the outline, these look so plain

Maybe the black outline will fade more whiter over time. I have a feeling it will. Hope they drop the aqua 8 soon
