Before we take a detailed look at the Rui Hachimura x Air Jordan 8, let me walk you through a bit of background information and see how profitable the AJ8 still is on the secondary markets.

Air Jordan 8 | History and Resale

Although not as popular as some of the earliest models, the Air Jordan 8 was one of the sneakers that allowed Jordan Brand to stand on its own feet.

Tinker Hatfield did not want to place a Nike logo on it as he believed that the brand was strong enough on its own at that point.

Apart from the state-of-the-art torsion plate, the Air Jordan 8 also featured some of the craziest colorways on any Air Jordan 8 at the time.

Although in recent memory, the Jordan 8s aren’t that popular some colorways such as the collaboration with Drake are extremely valuable.

This time, Jordan Brand teams up with NBA star Rui Hachimura. The Japanese star has recently had a rough start to the year but this Air Jordan 8 may be a sign of a smoother road forward.

To estimate resale for the Rui Hachimura x Air Jordan 8 SE, let’s head on over to GOAT.

Rui Hachimura x Air Jordan 34 Heritage

• Retail Price: $195
• Average Resell: $450
• Release Date: Saturday, August 8^th, 2020
• Colorway: MULTI-COLOR/MULTI-COLOR
• Style Code: DA1900-900

The Air Jordan 34 x Rui Hachimura was released last year in a white upper with wild Japanese-inspired graphics on the heels, eye stays, and on the tongues.

An eclipse plate embedded in the midsoles surrounded by black pieces and white outsoles finish off the design.

On the secondary markets, these kicks are quite profitable at an average selling price of $450. That’s a gross profit of over $200 per pair!

• Estimated Resell: $350
• Release Date: Wednesday, March 24^th, 2022

At first glance, the inspiration for this sneaker becomes apparent with its blazing red tongue tags that feature Japanese texts which is Rui’s personal logo.

The rest of the sneakers are predominantly covered by “Twine” hues in a mix of suede and leather. Straps go across each collar with “Air Jordan” embossed texts.

Inserts feature a Jump-Man logo and more of Rui’s personal logo while matching Twine midsoles and black/red outsoles complete the look.
