Jordan XVII Low Lightning - May 30, 2024

[bsv2.0]

Sucks most of these raffles are through “Runfair”

Runfair = no pair

 

[s dubl]

I’m not sure how runfair works with shops inventory, but I kinda feel I have a better chance with it than an unregulated shop raffle, or online fcfs.

Can anyone shed some light on how legit the runfair thing is from the back end?

its all differnt sneaker game now my brother
greedy reseller will banking on these type of LIMITED retros

If these weren’t limited, they’d sit and people wouldn’t be foaming their d***s over them. They could stain shoes with feces and make them limited and hypebeasts would trip over their Johnsons for them.

Here's an article that compares the 2002 & 2024 versions.

Comparing The Air Jordan 17 Low Lightning OG vs. Retro

We compared the original 2002 Air Jordan 17 Low Lighting vs the upcoming 2024 pair releasing in May. Find out the differences between the original AJ 17 Low Lightning and this year's here!

. The OG were not that limited.

At least not here in NYc. Lots of Mom and Pop spots got them and they actually sat. Not because they were a bad show. Simply because we’re in the retro era. So you had Air Force 1’s and retro of the Air Force Max and other OG Jordans dropping at that that.

Damn I’m going back and forth with these

I love these and would want a pair but to spend 300?

A years ago In a heartbeat… this day and age I just can’t

I don't know why but I feel way better about EQL than Copdate lol

just hoping to hit one pair but not getting hopes up. def want the case, but i'd be just as excited without it and seeing them at like $225-$240 (still high i know)

Surprised UNDFTD has not posted yet…they keeping it FCFS?

Just remember if you would have spent 200 on them 20 years ago you're paying less today.

Yea for sure, love em, but if i don't hit retail my max is about $400. Just cant see myself going any higher.

This is the kind of shoe resellers will get burned on. They’ll be forgotten in a month.

 

[headdetective]

Nah let these cats fall for the hype.

Again, this aint 2020.

 

[rbk93]

I entered at Social Status and TBG.

I won’t lie, if I do win, I would be tempted to keep for myself…

Undefeated NYC is releasing them this Saturday via raffle.
Also for my Long Island folks, Hirshleifers in Manhasset just posted their in-store raffles on IG.

 

[s dubl]

Random thought… if it was absolutely necessary for them to include something that wasn’t originally included with the lows, but was with the mids, I woulda loved if these came with lacelocks.


Honestly, they shoulda included the dust bags, too. Especially at $300.

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

Still got these old things lol

 

[s dubl]

I remember when news broke about those, everyone thought we’d be getting OG colorblocking. Those are fire tho.

I’m in 8 raffles and my wife entered all of them for me a second time. Couple local ones too. Maybe I’ll get lucky for a pair but my expectations are extremely low that any hit tomorrow.

 

[s dubl]

Thing is, if these retailed at $175-$200ish, I’d probably be in at $300ish resell… but at $300 retail, I don’t think I can do $400+ resell.

I’ve probably entered more raffles personal for these, than I have for any other shoe. Really hope I can secure at least one.

Same, im at 7 entered. I’m so OCD I even created a log so I don’t lose track

$330-$340 retail + ship + tax means resale floor is already over $400. Maybe why some people were fine setting the market at $500+.

But yeah I can’t see myself spending that much on a resale pair of these when there’s dozens of other pairs of heat you could grab for that same amount right now.

 

[ccastro02]

Welp, extra butter with the quick L

 

[s dubl]

Not even about other stuff coming out… these are legit probably the single pair I was most excited for this year, and I don’t even buy Js like that anymore. Can I make $500 happen, sure. Not difficult to make sneaker math make these an easy possibility. I just don’t like to know in the back of my mind I’m dropping $500+ on a pair of shoes these days.



…..I just hope stubbornness doesn’t bite me in the ***, and I end up paying $800 down the line.
