Jay-Z is one of the rappers out there that’s actually old enough to remember when the Air Jordan VIII “Bugs” first came around. Granted, we can’t really comment on how into sneakers he was at the time so who knows if he ever laced up an OG pair. Anyways, he got the retro, having just brought them out for a little bit of yachting in the south of France.

What are the differences between the original version and the 2013 retro of the Air Jordan VIII “Playoffs”? This photo set should help you out with that, showing an OG pair of the Air Jordan VIII in that colorway along with one of the recently produced retros for this year. As you’ll see, the primary difference here comes via the pull tab on the back, which was switched to red on the OG to black on the new pair. Get all the images of the Air Jordan VIII “Playoffs” after the jump and tell us which release you prefer.

The Air Jordan VIII “Playoffs” will release on June 15th, 2013. The sneaker is the next OG colorway for Michael Jordan’s eighth signature shoe to come back around. There’s no doubt that it’s a bit more heralded than the recent “Bugs” thanks to the post-season implications, so we’re expecting them to be a mainstay in summer rotations. See more on the Air Jordan VIII “Playoffs” after the jump and watch for them to release on June 15th.
