Jordan 17 OG College Blue

While the Air Jordan 16 embraced the dichotomy of Michael Jordan, the then-retired player and businessman, the Air Jordan 17 was the first shoe designed for him since his return to the NBA.

Michael Jordan may not have been the same fiery young player he once was, but he was far from washed-up. In reality, his skill set and abilities had aged gracefully. During his career, MJ had developed an arsenal of moves and a high basketball IQ that deemed him one of the greatest improvers on the court.

The aim of the Air Jordan 17 was to fully represent where Jordan was in his career and life as a seasoned basketball player and living future-Hall-of-Famer.

Jordan 17 OG College Blue 2002

The Air Jordan 17 silhouette received the new OG College Blue colorway in 2002. This basketball design incorporates a white leather upper on the toe, heel, and side panels. College Blue accents appear on a small strip on the toe guard and on the arch. A wraparound cover shrouds the laces, providing a secure, customizable fit. The shoe's collar is constructed in Lycra for superior comfort. A Jumpman logo sits on the heel, and the bottom is constructed with a full-length shank plate. The midsole incorporates a Max Air unit for enhanced comfort and support. A final small Black Jumpman logo sits on the outer sole stamped into the white tread.
