Jordan Brand to release Air Jordan 8 ‘Hornets’ in 2027

Jordan Brand has announced the upcoming retail release of the Air Jordan 8 ‘Hornets’, inspired by a player-exclusive (PE) colorway worn by Chris Paul during the 2008-09 season with the New Orleans Hornets.

The new version will feature a black upper with New Emerald and Tour Yellow accents on the midsole, heel, straps, and branding. While the design draws from the original teal and marigold accents used by Paul, the 2027 release will feature an updated color balance and branding.

The shoe is scheduled to release on January 2, 2027, through the SNKRS app and select Jordan Brand retailers. The retail price is set at $215.
