Michael Jordan’s return to the game of basketball in 2001 caused shockwaves across the globe. The entire NBA scene was rattled when Jordan stepped down as President of Basketball Operations and signed on as starting Shooting Guard for the Washington Wizards. This is why the Air Jordan XVII has a special place in many Jordan-fans hearts; it was the first signature Air Jordan shoe that released when Michael Jordan returned to the game (for the second time).
Here’s a piece of history for you Jordan fans to admire; a GAME WORN pair of the Air Jordan XVII Low in an unreleased Washington Wizards colourway (we got a similar White/Univ Blue colourway). The heel shows the Jumpman logo with MJ’s 23 stitched on in a light bronze and you’ll also notice a few scuffs and creasing that occurred when Jordan schooled young’ns with his fadeaway jumper (or when he indirectly ended Ron Mercer’s career by authoritatively blocking that shot off the backboard). This is truly a treat for the ages; check out the detailed pics and let us know what you think. via Kenlu.

how do you even get your hands on these??
but these alright…i mean i know they’re game worn and all but i’m just talking about the actual shoe. the fact that they ARE game worn makes them like 23x more expensive. hahaha.

Some of you are a bit too jaded from all the retros. The 17s and the accompanying lows were awesome.

He wore these shoes in his third stint in the NBA. As a student at UMCP I was fortunate with the help of some friends to see the God Mc grace the court and from some of those people at beaverton thanks to all who allowed me to see greatness.

Wow….that is dope! Much respect on these. I am a fan of this shoes design. I got the OG black leather 17′s. My only con would be the lace cover but once you get it the shoe on it’s fine. The shoe feels great. The briefcase was an added bonus. The included DVD has a sick joint on there with Big Tigger freestylin and another jazz joint. To me it was worth every penny. Thanks for the post!
