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.

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

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

Praying you’re wrong on this…
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.

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.

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

An all yellow leather shoe is a very tough wear, imo. That being said, I still like them for some reasonGame time decision. I have these and barely wear em:

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.

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