Well Jordan Brand surely listens for our cries wishing they retro some sneakers that fans truly want to come back. We asked for the 16s specifically but the 17s absolutely work for me. Now i will admit I never owned a pair, they were expensive for me back in the day especially with that suitcase and CD.
They were still a fan favorite either way so with Jordan bringing them back next year means a lot to us. This pair specifically scheduled to come back tho is an Air Jordan 17+ which is a premium version from its original with a Croc plate on the back heel. Having an official colorway description of White/Metallic Copper Coin-Black-Sport Blue they are expected to drop in Summer 2016.
UPDATE: Here is official pictures from Jordan Brand by way of Nike along with release details surrounding its return.
Back in 2002, His Airness returned to the game of basketball for the third time while introducing a new model – the Air Jordan XVII. The shoe makes its triumphant return in its original color way April 9 in Men’s sizing only on SNKRS.
Jazz music and luxury were the two notable themes behind the Air Jordan XVII. The shoe was constructed to fit the needs of His Airness’ style of game that resembled the improvisation of Jazz music. Luxury was achieved by taking design inspiration from a first-class automobile.
Black exotic leather sits at the top of the tongue and wraps around the heel of the shoe. The white upper is complimented by copper hits all throughout the shoe. To finish, the black and white outsole introduces hits of sport royal blue.
