Air Jordan 17Michael joined the Washington Wizards as President of Basketball Operations in January of 2000 and selected Kwame Brown with the top overall pick in the 2001 NBA Draft. On September 25th 2001 he resigned his position and instead signed a player contract.
The Air Jordan XVII design was said to be inspired by three things; "the fine details from an Aston Martin, the smooth lines and flow of a jazz solo and the long Air Jordan history of innovations in style" Well。
The Air Jordan 17 design was said to be inspired by three things; “the fine details from an Aston Martin, the smooth lines and flow of a jazz solo and the long Air Jordan history of innovations in style” Well, if the Air Jordan 16’s were equipped with a gaiter/shroud that was removable and that would cover almost more than half of the shoe, the Air Jordan 17’s were no worse. With a removable midfoot cover you were once again given the power to choose whether or not the laces should be visible! Metal and CD But the midfoot cover was not everything.
The Air Jordan 17 came with a Jumpman embossed metal carrying case. So, this was not your average shoe box. OK, we had seen this when the Japan exclusive Air Jordan I’s were released on January 1st 2001 but hey, now everyone could get one.But, believe it or not, it doesn’t stop there.
In the lid of the carrying case a CD-rom could be found. Nike really knew how to make their customers happy! Overpriced? When you decide to add a metal case and a CD something tells you the production cost must rise quite a bit. This also seemed to be the case as the Air Jordan 17 had a retail price at $200. Retailers everywhere had problems convincing people that $200 for a pair of shoes was worth it and many retailers cut prices down to $160 which was the retail price of the Air Jordan 16. The Air Jordan 17 will be making a return in 2008, minus the
suitcase. Find out when they release on the Air Jordan 5. More info on Air Jordan 16, Air JordanXVII
