Air Jordan 17
The most expensive Air Jordan to date when they released in February of 2002, the Air Jordan 17 offered a free-flowing design inspired by jazz music — and was packed full of tech too, offering the brand’s first-ever Tuned Air cushioning system. For a memorable finishing touch, the Air Jordan 17 also came packaged in a metal briefcase with a CD-ROM.
2024 is shaping up to be a huge year for the silhouette, set for its first ever retro treatments. The Air Jordan 17 Low “Lightning” went first at the end of May, arriving for a NBHD-only retail release with a $300 retail price. That edition will be followed up with the Air Jordan 17 Low “UNC” on August 28th, sharing a $300 retail price, a NBHD (partnering retailer) release and the commemorative briefcase with that May drop.
