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. Reportedly, that edition will be followed up by the Air Jordan 17 Low “UNC” in August, though more release information is sure to emerge as we approach that date.
