The Air Jordan XVII just like many of the other Jordan sneakers that released previous to it had a lot of meaning behind it. It first dropped back in February 9th, 2002, almost eleven years ago. The sneaker was inspired by Michael Jordans newest team the Washington Wizards. Many people were skeptical about Jordan coming back to the NBA, however on September 25th 2001, Jordan announced that he would be returning to the NBA but not as a Chicago Bull. Much detail have gone onto the sneaker, such as Jordans love for Jazz music, which can be found molded on the upper. Probably one of the most innovative sneaker that we’ve seen release from the Jordan collection.
