@Hot Route, Here's me almost 2 weeks ago trying them on just before I paid for them. Wearing regular pair of Levi's.

Both the one with the Stormtrooper and the second one match (as long as you have one color on the shoe and the shirt that are alike it will match).

Thanks repped.

I like those jeans, they aren't too baggy and not to tight. No homo though.

501 is always on point imo

Forgot to post, I like how these are closer to the OG"s but I do still like the darker appeal of the 07's

Anyone else have threads sticking out of theirs in places and sloppy paint? Mine got shipped from footaction so I know they are legit. But jeez.

​

That is straight MESSED up @wHipLAshTw03
and @ArgyleLanvin
...​

That is EXACTLY why I make 90% of my purchases online now....​

These shoe store managers and skep *** employees be on some sheisty ****.​

I have been lucky on my part, I returned my shoes bought last July and exchanged that with Aqua 8s with no hustle. Maybe depends on the manager or staff

Mine has hue staing on the mid sole barely notice this once your wearing the shoes

So the AJ8 is my favorite shoe and seeing them sit on NDC and in a size 13 makes me happy. Just need to pay for these school books

Retro card come with?

Retro card come with?

they're supposed to. My pair from Champs did not

 

[shawn_chrystafur]

I want to get a pair of these for my daughter, but they're not girly enough. On the preschool pairs they have that full black midsole.. But I was thinking about trying to do some customization work on it to make it look like the Adult/Grade School pairs. Anyone can point me in the right direction on tutorials how to do so?

 

[ghost24]

Mine came with the retro card but it doesn't really matter the shoe is still great

 

[clutch412]

Agreed

Those pics look really good but when I held them in my hand I was so frustrated with that glitter ****... why? Just why put glitter on them?!

First time posting here, hell...first time buying J's in a while because life kind of leads you down a different path once you grow up and get married and all that garbage.  Anyway, the Aqua 8's are my favorite shoe of all time, and not having kept up with releases in years, I almost **** my pants when I walked into Champs this weekend and saw 'em on the shelf. 

A little background: I moved to Chicago in '91, staying on an army base up there named Fort Sheridan (hence the name) until '95, when we moved out to Oakland.  Army kids in that town had it rough, because the area was rich (no ****, Lake Michigan was 100 yards out and the beach was my backyard) but we weren't, so having nice stuff wasn't really that common.  Being a skinny little white 12 year old at the time, I was crazy about the Bulls.  Went to school with Bill Cartwright's son Justin, wouldn't leave the poor kid alone.  Could never get any J's because they were just too expensive.  

Anyway, my mom surprised me with the Aquas when they came out and I don't think I took 'em off until they were coming apart.  I cared more about those shoes than I did my own life at that point.  Always wanted another pair, just never kept up with retros or anything so I never got another set.  

Now we get back to the almost ******** my pants part.  Walked in, saw the shoes on the shelf, instantly turned into that 12 year old kid again.  They had two 12s left, and much to my wife's chagrin, both of those are now mine.  One is never leaving the box, while the others probably won't leave my feet for a while.  My 8 fever got so bad I went back last night and got the last 3peats they had.  I think I have a problem now.

Anyway, sorry for the long-winded post.  I'm just really excited over this release.  The sentimental value these shoes have for me is incredible.  Y'all take care.

That's an awesome story bro! I feel the same way about some kicks, it's not a problem (I hope) so don't worry.

I'm not an expert on this but they said this is the same as the OG Aqua 8

theyre supposed to have glitter. OG's and 2007 retro had glitter on the midsole
