Jordan XVII Low Lightning - May 30, 2024

[urbanmiracle]

Will wait for the sale. These aren’t selling at all. Pulling the trigger under $160

 

[therealest1]

There may be a lower quantity for these, according to this one.


Are they really trying to drum up the interest for these? It really doesn't make sense if they're going to legitimately charge an exorbitant price and limit the quantity on something like this that isn't coveted like other classic Jordans that preceded the XVII. What's worse is that it's the low and not the mid version of a XVII. I can't believe they're trying to cause artificial hype with these.

Yeah I get it kinda for a mid...lows?? Easy pass

 

[ccastro02]

Will be had. $250 is hard to swallow, but I’ve paid far more on worse.

 

[trethousandgt]

Gonna enjoy watching these rot on shelves for 250….. sales should be plentiful for them

Unfortunately I doubt that will happen for larger sizes.

Hopefully the yellow doesn’t look like the samples from this year.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this release is just on the SNKRS app. And a few boutiques online and instore imo…. the usual Nike games

I still have mine but of course they are completely unwearable. From what I recall, and the better historians can correct me, but these were sold locally here in Southern California only at Sheikh’s in store as a legit Quick Strike. I grabbed mine at the Westminster Mall. If my memory serves me correctly, I only found out because of here on NT way back when.

Also had the Carolina pair, but not sure where those are anymore. Also have the Trophy Room 17s and Coppers, the Coppers which I need to find as well in my house

Oh and when drops were called Quick Strikes vs Shock Drops. I totally prefer Quick Strike verbiage

I’m in for a pair. I’m going to hedge and guess that maybe they include the brief case like the highs did. Wouldn’t mind a pair of the blue highs as well.

I remember the lightnings being a limited release as well in the NY area.

Day 1 cop, same w Carolinas. These are my childhood in shoe form.

 

[Two1Five]

This one of those pairs I like but really don’t care if I didn’t get them. The other low colorways are a different story.

Game time decision. I have these and barely wear em:

Just retro College Blue mids, I really don’t understand what’s taking so long

 

[ccastro02]

At the time, my Trophy room 17’s were the most expensive sneaker I had purchased at like $330. I keep waiting for the perfect day to unds them.

 

[Sim23]

[riverdale road]

An all yellow leather shoe is a very tough wear, imo. That being said, I still like them for some reason .

 

[jordanhead718212]

I love yellow sneakers

 

[jaypesoz]

Hope they bring back og lows so I can relive memories in 2002.

This the one he missed?

 

[jetbl1223]

The Jordan 17 is the shoe that got me into sneakers, the perfect balance (in my opinion) of style/tech. The CD-ROM that came with the standard version made me fall in love with the design process, the inspiration and story telling. Something about the accessories (briefcase, lace covers, lacelocks, etc.) put them over the top for me.

It definitely has to be an original color because it would be awkward if they rehashed a signature model version for the first time ever in an unoriginal color predicated on their history with re-releasing stuff.





I was never a fan of the XVII.

That's exactly what I was thinking before y'all two posted that. I don't understand why they didn't go with rehashing a mid in an original color instead of a low. I would have assumed they would rehash a low much later after a few re-releases of the mid.

We all know it would be a jacked up price if they rehash a mid and include the metal briefcase in current times. It makes wonder if they would include it if they rehash a mid.

With the pending re-release of a low, I'm pretty sure it should be inevitable with a mid re-releasing in the future.

17s coming out in 2024 as a mid would be 300 easy. .
