Back in July, the &#8216;Aqua&#8217; (the best OG AJ8!) touched down once again to plenty of acclaim, and already there\u2019s rumours of the 2003 \u2018Chrome\u2019 making a comeback in September. Now, set to follow that two-tone iteration is a brand new colourway simply dubbed \u2018Knicks\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Rumours of this freshie have come from insiders <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/zsneakerheadz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">@zsneakerheadz<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sneakerfiles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">@sneakerfiles,<\/a> who\u2019ve all but officially confirmed the pair will arrive for the holiday season. According to the sources, the Air Jordan 8 \u2018Knicks\u2019 will pay homage to the ferocious battle between the Chicago Bulls and New York Knicks during the 1993 NBA Eastern Conference Finals. Interestingly, the &#8216;Knicks&#8217; is allegedly replacing the \u2018Cavs\u2019 colourway that was leaked last year.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Over the past year, the Air Jordan 8 has received some special attention from whoever decides on retro&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":610810,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3768],"tags":[81128,49748,7,12404,81127,10841,304,6,1136,191,3810,3806,9768,27591],"class_list":{"0":"post-610809","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-knicks","8":"tag-2026-jordan-releases","9":"tag-air-jordan-8","10":"tag-basketball","11":"tag-buy","12":"tag-ix8479-010","13":"tag-jordan-brand","14":"tag-knicks","15":"tag-nba","16":"tag-new-york","17":"tag-new-york-knicks","18":"tag-newyork","19":"tag-newyorkknicks","20":"tag-price","21":"tag-release-date"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116094928864781150","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/610809","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=610809"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/610809\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/610810"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=610809"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=610809"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=610809"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
