The Air Jordan 8 “Cavs” is scheduled to drop in Fall 2026. Known officially as “Take Flight”, this pair earned its “Cavs” nickname thanks to the Black, Racer Blue and Safety Orange colorway. This color palette was highly reminiscent of the fan-favorite Air Jordan 4 “Cavs” that was released back in 2012.
Early previews of the shoe appear to have a mostly Black nubuck upper accented with Racer Blue and Safety Orange on the overlays and tongue logo. A Blue heel pull tab and solid Black outsole is also anticipated. As always, keep in mind these are early mock-ups and some elements may change slightly by the time the shoe releases.
The Air Jordan 8 has been synonymous with Jordan’s 1990s reign, and this new “Cavs” edition continues that narrative, further evolving the rich history of this iconic silhouette. The combination of retro inspiration and modern execution feels like a strategic play from Jordan Brand. This was a smart call for sneakerheads that missed out on the Air Jordan 4 “Cavs.”
