The Air Jordan 8 Retro Take Flight Undefeated was released in part of a collaboration between the Air Jordan Brand and streetwear boutique Undefeated. This shoe features a leather upper and rubber sole with a predominantly sequoia color scheme.

On the design front, the Air Jordan 8 has distinctive crisscross straps on top of the laces as well as bumpy lines running around the heel area. It also has subtle orange accents on the sole and tongue that provide a touch of color. Additionally, the shoe features Jordan branding in the form of the Jumpman on the tongue, the number 23 on the top strap and the text Air Jordan on the straps that go around the ankle.

Over the years, Nike has applied military-inspired designs to a variety of silhouettes and the Air Jordan 8 got the 'Take Flight' colorway treatment in 2017. The 'UNDFTD' (because it resembles the well-known ' UNDFTD x Air Jordan 4 '), the colorway 'Take Flight' was influenced by the look of fighter jets and classic MA-1 flight jacket.
