The long-awaited return of the iconic “Bugs Bunny” Air Jordan 8 is finally here, hitting stores in November 2025. But let’s be real—the timeless style doesn’t exactly scream ‘Bugs Bunny.’ However, sneaker artist Javornie Brathwaite has created a version that truly embodies the iconic character, and it’s something to get excited about.

A Closer Look At The Design
Brathwaite nailed the look of the iconic character by combining different shades of grey suede for the uppers and ensuring a perfect match with the TPU accents. He also paid attention to the smallest details, including references to Bugs Bunny’s signature carrot, such as the orange and green chenille patches and printed mudguards. The sneaker is finished with a grey and white sole unit and a splash of orange on the outsole for a last pop of colour.
What We Like About The Sneakers
Sure, we know the Jordan Hare design is connected to Bugs through a series of iconic commercials and appearances and was never actually inspired by the character himself. But it’s nice to think we could see a design that really captures the essence of the playful rabbit. Plus, Brathwaite’s design would still be considered stylish without the connection to the Looney Tunes rabbit. It’s the perfect cross between the suede uppers of the “Cool Grey” AJ8 and the orange and green details of the “Gatorade” Jordan 6.
