Jordan XVII Low Lightning - May 30, 2024

[FtwrDsgnr]

The meticulous design process for these is part of why they’re my favorite Jordan.

I'll take every OG color of the Mids and Lows.

The blue on the midfoot is more see through than I remember, but they look nice. The Carolinas was the colorway I chose of the lows in ‘02 and I’ll probably grab them again.

I’m super happy with the blue and that the midsole matches the ankle color. Leather a little too tumbled for me. Also, slots under lace homes look different. Definitely in!

Yeah. You would have to put the shoe to the light to recognize the air unit. Not it’s apparent without.

the Carolina Blue Lows are the best Carolina Blue Jordan ever, and I never had the OG

the Carolina Blue Lows are the best Carolina Blue Jordan ever, and I never had the OG

Powder Blue 9s, Columbias, UNC 14 lows, UNC 15s > UNC 17 lows

And that's just OG UNC colorways.

9s hands down imo.

Those weren't even popular when they originally released. Except the XI did well because well they're XI's afterall.

 

[lexluthor]

Retail was $225 on SoleFly lows and $150 on OGs, what the heck. Even Trophy Room highs was $275.

Trophy Room Highs Were 323

I second this motion baby.

Good discussion.

Those are clean, but I like the Lightning’s better. It’s still ridiculously mind blowing that these LOWS are retailing at $300!!

 

[AIR J XIII]

I’m not believing that MSRP until I see it live on NDC.

This could all be a setup to get people to buy them at the price they really want to set like $240 or something.

That hasn’t been confirmed, I’d be extremely surprised if these retail above $250.

 

[Air_raw09]

I haven't bought a pair of Js since 2006, damn I can not wait for these, I know I'm going to bite on the retail smh

 

[freakydestroyer]

Damn creasing on the toe, even on tumbled leather. Not bad overall though

 

[rainking]

That OD tumbled leather kills the look of these. If that's what the final retail pairs look like, I don't care what the price is. Easy pass.

 

[AIR J XIII]

My OGs. The leather is fully tumbled, but it’s more of a natural look than a pressed on pattern. As you can see, the midfoot TPU on mine is FINISHED.

 

[freakydestroyer]

For a second, I thought those were the Mike Bibby PE's

 

[therealest1]

These are now slated to to release on May 30, 2024, according to this one.

 

[trethousandgt]

Nostalgic.

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

Tough to get? These were all over the outlets at the time, all the 17’s flooded the outlets
