I'M READY!!!
17+ was not $200. they were $175 if i remember correctly. $250 for 17+ is ridiculous.

Considering that these originally released for $200, if they drop for $250, it's not that bad. i wonder if they'll release with the briefcase?
I thought only 17 had the briefcase? I had the Carolina lows that came in the black and blue drawstring bags. I thought these were released the same way, in two bags.

I'm pretty sure they were $200. Could be wrong but I seem to remember it being that price.

From what I can find (as well as remember), the retail on the original XVII+ was $165. I have attached a few pictures showing price tags on the original boxes of a few pairs of XVII+ (not my pictures). Two say $165 (from Champs and Eastbay)... the other says $175 from "J-Sport." I'm going with $165, as that seems right.
It definitely wasn't $200.

I rarely post pics but forgot what these ran back in the day, so with the kids asleep and wife out (this is a special occasion where I can actually go through my stuff uninterrupted) I dug these four pairs up. Original MSRP was $220 for the highs w/briefcase. The case color matches each colorway, odd but silver case with the blue on whites. The funny thing is the Nike/JB label doesn't have the MSRP. One of the color ways, the Blue on white which was the first release has a store tag marked $220. If I recall correctly (and could be wrong) retailers had a really hard time selling these at $220 and on launch day, before or within a very short time had these at $200. One of my pairs I have the tag where I bought them for $169 marked down. The lows, I have no pricing information, but anywhere between $150-165 MSRP would be about right.
Jordan wore these when he was with the Wizards, and was a jump shooting small forward. I remember reading how these changed so much from previous models since he wasn't the same player and wanted a stiffer more rigid shoe to match his game at that time. I have pics somewhere court side of MJ playing against the Pistons that year, my girlfriend at the time bought me a pair of these just for the game in DC, I married her.
