”University Blue” Air Jordan XVII Low returning August 28

Brandon King

The long-awaited return of the Air Jordan XVII was seen as a case of Jordan Brand listening to the wishes of their customers. However in another one of their missteps, Jordan Brand slapped a $300 sticker price on the lows, which was doubled the $150 price tag of the original. Despite the attempted justifications of some enthusiasts, the addition of the suitcase, a feature that was exclusive to the three high colorways, was not enough to commensurate a doubling in price.  They sport a white leather tumbled leather upper with…

The “Lightning” Air Jordan XVII Low is making its long-awaited return later this year, albeit with a ridiculously inflated 300 USD sticker price attached to them.  Long-time Team Jordan member and former NBA player Quentin Richardson gave the world the best look yet at the “Lightning” lows via a post to his Instagram account.  They appear to be a faithful recreation of the original, sporting a white leather upper paired with black at the tongue that is integrated into the inner boot. Jumpman branding appears at the rear heel. Yellow…

”University Blue” Air Jordan XVII coming August 28

Brandon King

The “University Blue” Air Jordan XVII Low is one of the two colorways of the XVII that are slated to make their return this year. As has been reported, the excitement over the pending second retail run of the XVII low has somewhat been marred by the lunacy of Jordan Brand attaching a 300 USD sticker price on these.  As can be gleaned from the images that have emerged, as was the case with its 2002 progenitor, these will sport a tumbled white  leather upper.  The university blue Dynamic inner sleeve that…

The Air Jordan XVII Lows will come with the briefcase

Brandon King

After long last, the Air Jordan XVII will finally make its return in 2024 via the “UNC” and “Lightning” lows. However the excitement over these returning kicks was somewhat dampered by the 300 USD that will accompany them. According to zsneakerheadz, the 2024 iterations will come with a briefcase, a feature that was originally reserved for the three mids- “White/College Blue” , White/Varsity Red” and “ Black/Metalluc Silver” . The XVII Lows and XVII +, came in dustbags inside of a then-standard Jordan Box. It’s difficult to rationalize $300 for…

“University Blue” Air Jordan XVII Low on the way in 2024

Brandon King

The “University Blue” will join the “Lightning” as the second lower collared colorway of the Air Jordan XVII that is planned to return in 2024. At this early juncture, there are no available images, however the hope and expectation is that we will be presented a sneaker that is a faithful recreation of its 2002 progenitor, meaning we should see a white leather upper with a university blue inner bootie. Metallic eyelets should be present with university blue showing up on the slightly squared toe, bottom of the lacing system…

“Lightning” Air Jordan XVII returning next summer

Brandon King

The Air Jordan XVII is one of the overlooked classics of the venerable Air Jordan line, in part because too many are foolishly dismissive of any model after the XIV. Worn by MJ during his last return to the NBA in 2001with the Washington Wizards, the XVII is a silhouette that has long been due for a proper return, ( we are not going to count that BS Nike/JB pulled with the “Copper” colorway a few years back as a true return.) Newsrecently emerged that the “Lightning” Low was making…
