Fact or Fiction: Has There Been a More Detailed Shoe Released by JB Since These:

[jpena0306]

i had these to hoop in and i totally beat it to the floor.
i enjoyed the shoe but i don't know. i could never play with the shroud on it.
when i tried to hoop in them with the shroud i'd end up taking them off because they always felt too tight on my foot.
but overall, these were a great shoe to hoop in and are very underrated.
i wish my dad hadn't sent them to the PI

i got a deadstock white/red 17's what there going for now

I caught a vnds pair with the case on ebay a couple of months back for less than $55 shipped. But it could have been the presentation cause
I've seen pairs go for about 2 bills.

i have seen the white/red go for more then $330.00 deadstock with case lace locks locks covers and cd




SOMEONE REALLY OVERPAID. GOING RATE IS ABOUT $185 TO $200



You'd be surprised. These are somewhat rare nowadays.

You are not getting a deadstock pair for under $260.





QFT

I did ALLLOOOOT of searchin to finally get these in 10.5..but they fit a tad big for me

 

[josebronx]

love em but they waaayyy toooo tight on my feet

 

[acgrizzy]

The XVII's were definitely a heavy duty shoe. With that said, they were, heavy! I still have my pair that I use as beaters and they've definitely beenbeat on. I never liked the way they fit. I had to get a size 13 to make them acceptable whereas in most J's I wear a size 12.

 

[memphissfinest]

Still on the hunt for my pair

 

[nickmcclure]

In response to your thread title: Fiction I'd say the laser Spiz'ike's or the VIII's have way more detail than the XVII's

 

[dipsetgeneral]

Best shoe & Box released out of the Jordan line.

17's are a 10 outta 10 in my book.

 

[1arm1da]

i love the XVIIs but i found they were too klunky... love the shoe tho, def underrated... i would still play in them... theres def a worse shoe... im notsaying its that bad tho
XX3s are ok but i get blisters...

As far as detail goes I think the 23's were way more detailed.

THIS!....but i really liked the 17's

 

[swingshot]

I doubt all the extras were worth anything like what JB actually added to include them... but the XVII was probably the last Jordan i was hyped about when itreleased.

The funny thing is that when it dropped this side of the Atlantic, it was cheaper than in the U.S.
We also got the first colorway a couple of weeks early.

 

[inchecksince81]

I think the stealth xx's and xx3's are more detailed.

 

[rleelum25]

love my stealth xx3s. still have my allstars deadstock but the tongues have gone yellow. so i gotta start wearin em out but the entire white look of em withthe stitchin look so fresh damn! but the 17s look hot all over too. but the 16.5s are on like woah!

 

[cadillacflow]

I love the XVII's. Hated dropping $212 for em. Very underrated.

 

[bundy9]

I MISS MY WHITE/REDS!!!!!

 

[kiddiaho]

love the xvii

 

[j g e t]

We need more pics..

Never understood the point of buying a shoe just to look at it. And add to the fact that the XVII's are damn near PERFECT for balling in; you, my friend, are missing out on a great pair of shoes.

I prefer to ball in my 13's or 12's plus keepin' these DS is cool because of all that came with them so I keep em in my collection andwill for many years.

 

[chief ediri]

I love the shoes, but they are pretty plain IMO.

The Cherrys are my favorite.

 

[newera22]

This thread is the singular reason why I am now keeping my (worn very few times) white varsity red XVIIs! =)

 

[taggpoppernj]

17's are crack man, especially with that suitcase box, that was crazy. after that its just been gimmicks from them..lol. I remember the white and red pairsbeing at the Nike outlet around my way for $100. I didn't have the money at the time to get them but I wasn't really pressed on getting them back them.kicking myself now. they came with the suitcase box and they had a full size run. needless to say them things flew off the shelf for that price.

I guess I can understand that. XII's are extremely comfortable.

23s

 

[memphissfinest]

JUST COPPED A DS PAIR

THEN WORE THEM LOL

 

[sneakerking757]

JB died after the 17's...
