Jordan XVII Low Lightning - May 30, 2024

[Gordonson]

I'm not gonna take their word on the $300 retail without proof; that would be one of the boldest things JB has ever done as a company with a long history of being bold and flagrant

I have a feeling that they're going to produce these in "blink and you missed it" numbers though, and then sell some new XVII Low colorways off the back of that.

Why would these be $300? There's no special box.

Nobody would buy them until they cost sub $2 anyway.

 

[fdub]

If they stay at $250(which is already extremely expensive) I’ll get them. $300, naw…

 

[dmoney23444]

I’ll be honest. I hope they just do a replica cardboard suitcase box when they do the mid 17. kinda how they replicated the boxes for the retro 18 and 19. I don’t need more big *** suitcases in my stacks.

$300

 

[Magic33]

The lows never came with a special box.

The lows never came with a special box.

^thats right. Regular face box and a cool felt drawstring bag for each shoe. Kept my peace pipe and my dirt weed in one in college.

Sus.

Nah no way. Someone looking at these in AUD or CAD dollars.

If these hit $300, it’ll be the single most greedy move by JB ever seen. And that’ll speak volumes. Then I’ll walk…

 

[frank mucus]

In for a pair.














On clearance

 

[rainking]

Sneaker News has them listed as being $250. Which is still criminal.

 

[sole searchin]

Nostalgic.

Way too narrow to wear though but I remember these releasing originally. Were tough to get then.

 

[PremioBinSoleFlyUnion]

I shouldn’t cave in but I’m still in. What’s everyone’s ranking list on XVII lows? Here’s mine:
1) SoleFly Reverse Lightning
2) Carolina
3) Lightning/All-Star
4) Black Chrome

Honestly, if the choices are:
A. $300 and built EXACTLY like the OG
Or
B. Under $300 and inferior to the OG.

I would pick A.

Knowing Nike/Jordan brand, it will likely be selection B. Lol. Hopefully, I’m wrong, though.

I remember when the Air pressure retros came out and they were $300, but it came with literally everything the 89 pair had, so that was a decent price for what they offered.

 

[dmoney23444]

Needs to be the return of the facebox with this release. The bags would be cool too. If it really is $300, I expect not too many of these will be made.

 

[freakydestroyer]

I doubt it is really $300, that will close the door on the Mids. How much would those cost, $450?

 

[freakydestroyer]

I know there is another thread, but in case anyone missed it

 

[da hen]

Had two pairs of the original release, would love a pair of these.

This price point is an absolute killer, damn baby.

[rainking]

Just reminds me how annoying it is that they are dropping the red pair instead.

 

[NToweG]

Wish the process went like this for every pair
