Jordan XVII Low University Blue - August 28, 2024

[Newlotsavekid87]

Oneness had them. I rode by 15 mins early and no one was in line. Couldn’t find a parking spot, circled the block, parked at Taco Bell, and there were 9 people in front of me 5 minutes later.

I didn’t get a 13, but I got the 8 (had to get something).

Is that 8 for sale

 

[tommygunnzzzz]

Resell not even as bad as I expected right now. Lightnings were higher after the online drops. Think maybe they'll dip some? I'll pay $450-$475

For the low price of 8 payments of $56.25…

Honestly, I grabbed them to help someone else. Paid $320. Shipping this big box may be very expensive.

The back door was definitely open on this release, secured my pair from a homeboy at one of the spots that had them here…..he wanted less than $100 on top

Prepare for these to be like the lightning situation. These will shoot up and resell 550-700 bucks. Thanks JB creative/ Business model.

Already $540-$580 on GOAT,

“Shoe game” =/= Nike. Shoe game is dead and 9 out of 10 pairs are hitting discount or easily had for retail (across brands). I’m not even mad cause it’s not making Nike more money or more hype to sell more of another product.

Yeah it sucks it’s the 17 and not say 14’s taking the hit on micro production, but earmarking one model as a bone to toss small shops and bypass Nike’s current channels for everything else releasing is a minor inconvenience when you look at how attainable and low priced most of the rest of their portfolio has become for the average sneakerhead.

I believe the intention of the sales strategy on 17’s this year IS backdooring them. These small shops sell a good chunk of their inventory on resale platforms before release at a lower margin just to get them off their books, knowing they have to take them on to retain that Nike/JB account. Basically nothing coming their way from Nike is selling strong at full MSRP and the days of every release being easy to backdoor for over MSRP are long gone.

But this isn’t driving hype that moves more JB product and small shipments built into boutique contracts isn’t doing anything for Nike’s bottom line so it kind of has to be for these shady stores Nike wants to keep contracted for years to come.

 

[size 15 please]

when you plan a mini vacation for Labor Day and forget these drop the same week <<< lol no worries tho soon I get back these will be copped. I don’t mind paying the resell with my size. Did the same for the lightnings and most importantly I was happy as hell !

Pretty crazy I remember these being on clearance everywhere when they originally came out.

It actually makes sense why they were so hesitant to retro the later models. Much higher production costs and historically much lower sales.

Still doesn’t justify a planned strategy to artificially cap production as to not release them through their regular retail channels, but a $200 shoe in Feb 2002 is $353 in real dollars today.

they are building hype for when they drop the highs

Yep exactly none of the later models really sold well I remember all of them sitting for the most part. Personally I was never a big fan of any of the 17s or Jordan’s in general after these.

 

[trappedintime]

If that’s the goal they’ll probably fail miserably and the highs will hit discount. Didn’t the copper’s rot on shelves in 2017? The 17 low is one of the few low versions that actually had more popularity than the mid/high sig.

coppers were like an IE model I believe

Yea but when the Lightnings dropped the day of release prices was higher. I think these will dip a little and settle in the $450-$500 range.

Lightnings actually went UP. They started off in the 450-500 range (420 if you can get lucky) and now they’re settling around 600.
