Michael Jordan’s 6 Championship rings serve as a constant reminder for those current players trying to usurp his label as the greatest basketball player of all time. Not even Kobe Bryant could tie the tally or awe that came with a signature sneaker release, but Nike Basketball’s Kobe imprint tried its hardest to replicate some of the success found in no.23’s lineage. Jordan Brand continues to pay homage to Mike’s on-court success with the Air Jordan 8 Champagne and Air Jordan 8 Cigar releases headed to retailers on June 25th for $250 each. The premium pairs utilize different premium accents from gold patent leather or black confetti print to nod at the celebratory bottle popping and cigar smoking after MJ’s third straight championship in 1993 to clinch his first three-peat. Be sure to head over to our Jordan release dates page for a better look at the Jumpman’s latest scheduled slate and let us know what you think of this year’s Cigar & Champagne Collection by taking your thoughts to the comments section.
