    If we catch wind of a college blue 17 release BEFORE those coppers release, I will pass on the coppers along with all others. College blue reigns supreme

    Mine are still holding up, wouldn't mind picking up a different colorway and $250 is a bargain compared to what ebay prices are like

    Its like JB is skippin the 16s on purpose, playing games with us

    15s release not too long ago, 20s come back out, and we get these but the + version not the lows we love like the lightnings

    There was even a couple pairs of 16 samples oregon sole had, just release the dam 16s

    Been waiting for the XVI through XVIII to return, but I'm not feeling that retail at all.

    Coppers are beautiful though.

    Yall complaining bout the price musta not have bought them when they first came out. The retail was 200...16 years later a 50 increase is not a lot...but I guess if they come without the case n cd then maybe but cats out here paying 250 for some gimmicks on shoes yet a retro we've been begging for finally releases and the price is a problem....the logic

    Count me in for one pair. I sold my NDS pair with OG evrythiing last year cause they were a half size to small. I'm not feeling that $250 for a $175 shoe. I hope they are a massive GR but from that price tag they probaly be limited like the 20's. I hope no one wants these and resell is like $200. Like others mentioned the plus model didn't come with a briefcase and CD, just a dustbag for each shoe and the standard Jordan face box. I for one thought this is the best version of the 17 and I owned ever version except the mules. The regular version is ok and I only copped the low because it was the purple Mike Bibby PE but I sold them soon after because I didn't like how the lows look on feet. I would love to see a plus version of the white and purple or lightings and more new colorways as well, for like $190 of course. But I saldy know that won't happen.:smh:

    I hope JB doesn't get too ahead of themselves next year with the remaster. The original 2s,12s,and the 17s had materials far more pristine than the nice tumbled leather we've been getting on retros this year.

    look at you. justifying something to yourself that simply can't be justified. Just because it's a nice shoe people have been hoping for doesn't automatically mean price should become a non factor. like... wut?? JB has got you and everyone else wrapped around their little finger. And you're damn right most of us didn't buy them for retail when they first came out. Back then it wasn't the norm to go out and pay $200 for some tennis shoes. Most people actually used common sense instead of feeding off of hype. Now $200 is a "sneaker steal" in most people's eyes [​IMG].... the logic

    No I'm just not an idiot and praying that there would be no inflation in price from 16 years ago is just dumb. Before this news I always figured if they came back out it would be around 225-250.

    200 is not a steal....it's retail with tax

    Cats can pay 250 for foams, lebrons, gimmicks on Jordans but complaining about this...especially after price increases are going into effect soon this year with maroon 6, Xmas 11, etc

    Not saying I love shelling out 250 no problem but I'm being a realist. Plus I'd rather pay 250 for a shoe I've wanted for 15 years compared to 200 for a shoe they re retro every 3 years

    If I remember correctly, the black and red 16 sold better than any non limited post 14 Jordan. I wonder why they keep passing them over. These 17s are solid, though I do wonder why they chose these over the og style 17s.
