The Jordan 17 Solefly Reverse Lightning Release

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.

Air Jordan 17's Top-Tier Performance Specifications

The Air Jordan XVII wasn't just about dazzling design and slick packaging. Smith didn't hold back on performance and packed the shoe with a host of upgrades:

  • Premium leather upper that's easy to clean
  • Lightweight, stable design that enabled a multi-dimensional or explosive player like Mike to wear them without compromising support and comfort
  • Wide squared toe box for roomier comfort
  • Herringbone traction pads on the foot's pressure points
  • Carbon fiber shank plate for superb lateral support
  • Large Air unit in the TPU heel, Zoom Air unit in the forefoot
  • Removable midfoot cover to either hide or show the lacings

Jordan 17 Retro Low x SoleFly Reverse Lightning 2018

This release, which dropped in 2018, was limited to 2,300 total pairs. The Jordan Brand and Miami SoleFly collaborated on this unique pair of sneakers, taking inspiration from the black and yellow Jordans worn by Michael Jordan during his final NBA All-Star game in 2002. Unlike the shoe's namesake, these uppers are the trademark bright lightning yellow used to accent the original pair with ostrich skin-inspired leather lining the lace collar. Additionally, the toe box is almost entirely yellow, except for a small, black accent just above the upper sole. The Jordan 17 Reverse Lightning sneakers also feature a chrome strip along the heel and chrome eyelets that give the shoes a classy finish. Additionally, the Jordan 17 SoleFly release features the Solefly SF logo on the back of the left ankle, with the Jumpman logo on the right.
