Air Jordan 17

The Air Jordan 17 was designed by Wilson Smith III and released in 2002, being worn by Michael Jordan during his comeback with the Washington Wizards. This model was notably inspired by Jordan's love for jazz music, with design elements reminiscent of jazz notes and even a jazz-themed commercial released for the shoe's launch. The Air Jordan 17 was packed with technical features, including a lightweight Phylon midsole with a full-length shank plate and Zoom Air in the forefoot and heel for comfort and support. The shoe also came in a metal carrying case with a CD-ROM, making it one of the most expensive basketball shoes at its time of release.
