In a nod to Jordan's post-Chicago Bulls era, Jordan Brand is set to revive the often overlooked Air Jordan 17 silhouette with a retro release in 2024. Following the announcement of the highly anticipated "Lightning" colorway, another OG iteration joins the lineup, marking the return of the Air Jordan 17 Low "UNC."

Originally released in 2002, the Air Jordan 17 was a symbol of MJ's diverse interests and passions, seamlessly blending elements of golf and jazz into its design. The outsole traction pattern, inspired by a golf green, and the suitcase-inspired packaging were distinctive features that set the AJ17 apart from its predecessors.

While the Air Jordan 17 Low simplified the design and omitted the iconic suitcase packaging, Jordan Brand is bringing back this unforgettable detail for the retro release. As showcased during the SNKRS Jordan Summer Preview, the Air Jordan 17 Low "Lightning" is poised to make a comeback with the signature branded suitcase, offering fans a nostalgic trip down memory lane.

With its rich heritage and timeless design, the Air Jordan 17 Low Retro pays homage to MJ's off-court style and serves as a reminder of his enduring legacy in the world of sneakers. Stay tuned for more updates on the release date and availability of these highly anticipated retro kicks.
