Jordan XVII

As Michael had progressed off court in his personal life, he took on a more subdued lifestyle that was entirely out of the spotlight. Inspiration for the XVII would include MJ’s affinity for Jazz music, highlighted by his attention to detail. And just when you thought he would remain low-key in his retirement, Michael jumped from the boardroom to the hardwood once again, returning to play for the Washington Wizards as he tried to turn the team from league bottom-feeder to playoff hopeful. Most remembered for its 0 price tag and the inclusion of a briefcase in the brand’s always thoughtful packaging, the XVII continued to play off the brand’s reliance on quality, as the rolled edges of the collar, detailed design of the outsole and excellent game play made it a perfect candidate to continue on the Game shoe’s legacy.
