SoleFly Reveals Its Air Jordan 8 ‘Mi Casa Es Su Casa’ With the Miami Marlins
The Miami Marlins have told SoleFly, a sneaker boutique based in the same city, that, “Mi Casa Es Su Casa.”
That Spanish phrase is not only the theme for SoleFly‘s Air Jordan 8 collaboration, but it was also the attitude the Marlins presented as it helped debut the sneaker in its stadium and with its players. The MLB team posted an Instagram carousel with shots of the kicks in the dugout, in-box, and in-hand and on-feet with some of its players.
Appearing with a white on cream look, the SoleFly Air Jordan 8 was originally teased during this summer through samples posted by boutique founder Carlos Prieto. Those shots showed a black sneaker not far off from the Air Jordan 8 “Playoff,” but the version of the shoe that’ll actually release is a notable departure.
Gold-tone hardware brings further refinement to the muted color palette, with select hits of red and blue found throughout the sneaker. The pictures we’ve seen thus far seem to leave unseen details still to be appreciated, including the thesis behind the Air Jordan 8 shown on an obscured card inside the sneaker box.

SoleFly most recently collaborated with Jordan Brand on an Air Jordan 13 that released in December. Prieto is a brother-in-law to Michael Jordan, which certainly hasn’t hurt in his store’s allowance for playing with Air Jordans.
Although no details have been officially confirmed yet, SoleFly’s Air Jordan 8 has been widely reported to have a Dec. 2 release date. Expect availability through SoleFly’s website and two Miami-area stores, as well as Nike’s SNKRS app. Pricing should be set at $225.
