The Team FBI fell under the umbrella of the Jordan XVIII (18), not the aforementioned Jordan XVII (17).The FBI was swapped and worn by Mike during his 2002-2003 final season with the Wizards, aka the AJ18 year. If you look at the design language of the FBI you can in fact see the similarities of it and the 18 and the influences such as the sweeping midsole design, and especially the raising heel rubber that was to signify the “Driving Shoe” influence of the flagship model.

ahh yes now I remember the timeline. anyway the FBI couldn't have been an Air Jordan because it didn't have zoom air anyway.
 
Flew home for the weekend …. Unfortunately don’t have the shoes

Was there any difference in shape on the trophy rooms compared to the OGs? Wondering what to expect with these. I didn’t see a difference on SoleFly lows to the OGs.
 
$250 retail tops. Maybe $275 but def not $300. Nike isn't that stupid.
One would think, but they (not just Nike, but other brands like NB, and recently Diadora with the astronomical rise of their MII shoes) have a history of shocking consumers with new pricing
…we get mad, then most just get used to it and say whatever 🤷🏻‍♂️
I say leave out the briefcase and keep the price lower. It’s a cool part of the XVII “story” for nostalgic and other reasons, but Nike would no doubt see the addition of a cheaply produced briefcase as a reason raising the price inordinately.
 
Makes sense, we would’ve heard something by now.

I think they are building up hype on the 17s with the recent limited releases to eventually drop these and the blue and black cws in larger GR releases. Honestly, not a bad strategy.


Was considering buying a 2nd pair of 17 UNC lows. I gotta chill I still want the Wite/Red + White/Blue.
 
Didn't even pay attention to this thread...

Dear Nike/JB,

Please do not pre-crease these, whenever they release. It is a mistake, they will sit on shelves like they did in 2002. Thank you kindly.

In theory these are good, but Nike made the mistake of pre creasing these and they were super bricks and sat on the shelves (at least the shelves of NTNY). Like NOBODY copped these. I hope they don't repeat that mistake.
