Air Jordan 8 Retro 'Bugs Bunny' (2025) — The Cartoon Collab That Started It All, on the AJ8
The Air Jordan 8 Retro 'Bugs Bunny' (2025) (305381-100) brings one of the most beloved character collaborations in sneaker history back to the silhouette that made it famous. The original Air Jordan 8 'Bugs Bunny' is the shoe that helped birth the concept of Space Jam — the 1992 Nike commercials pairing Michael Jordan with Bugs Bunny laid the cultural groundwork for one of the most celebrated sports films ever made, and the shoe worn in those moments has carried that magic ever since.
Design & Colorway
The 'Bugs Bunny' AJ8 presents the silhouette in a playful yet refined white/black/true red/light silver palette that draws directly from Bugs Bunny's classic grey and white color scheme, accented with the red and black details that give the AJ8 its characteristic boldness. The white leather upper is clean and bright — Bugs's white gloves brought to life in premium leather — while black crossover lacing straps, one of the AJ8's most distinctive design features, provide the structural contrast that defines the silhouette's aggressive, layered profile. True red accent detailing pops with Looney Tunes energy, and Bugs Bunny-inspired co-branding details are woven throughout, making the collaboration's identity impossible to miss.

The Commercial That Changed Everything
Before Space Jam the film, there were the Nike commercials — and the Air Jordan 8 was the shoe MJ wore when he and Bugs Bunny first appeared on screen together. Those commercials didn't just sell sneakers; they created a cultural mythology that eventually became one of the most beloved sports films ever made. The 'Bugs Bunny' AJ8 carries all of that history in its design, making it one of the most narratively rich sneakers Jordan Brand has ever produced.
