The post Air Jordan 8 'Bugs Bunny' expected to release Holiday 2025 appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Coinciding with Nike and Jordan Brand 's typical retro releases around the holiday season, fans will see the return of yet another OG colorway come later this year. With previous releases like the recent "Concord" 11 or "Black Metallic" Jordan 5, OG colorways are in higher demand than ever, drawing perfect parallels as the "Bugs Bunny" Air Jordan 8 is slated for its own holiday retro release.

The Air Jordan 8 first arrived in 1993 prior to Michael Jordan 's third championship run with the Chicago Bulls . This particular colorway landed as a typical White/Black/Red scheme to match the Bulls' uniforms, but later became known as the "Bugs Bunny" thanks to Jordan's ad campaign with Bugs Bunny and Marvin the Martian in 1993.
The shoes were retroed for the first time in 2003 and then once again in 2008 as part of the Air Jordan Countdown Pack. With yet another retro releasing in 2013, the shoes will make a return for the first time in 12 years. Given the recent return of the "Aqua" Jordan 8, this classic colorway should see a ton of hype around the holidays.
Air Jordan 8 "Bugs Bunny"
The "Bugs Bunny" Jordan 8 returns in its usual White/Black-True Red ensemble for an unmistakable look when thinking of the Air Jordan sneakers worn by the GOAT himself. The uppers are done in white perforated leather overlayed by the white leather cross straps across the tongue and laces. With True Red and grey hues throughout the midsole, outsole, and pop of Jordan 8 graphics, we see black contrasts along the tongue and straps on the heel.

Finer details reveal the soft suede along the back heel panel, along with the chenille Jordan Jumpman logo on the tongue. If the shoes are anything like the updated "Aqua" Jordan 8 release , we could see slight updates in materials, but should still expect a similar release to years past.
While no official drop date has been locked in, several outlets are reporting a December 20, 2025 release. Either way, expect a release through Nike SNKRS app around the upcoming 2025 holidays as we should see a full-fledged release from Nike and Air Jordan in anticipation of this one.
