Don't apologize for the long video Chris! Seeing all these details in the video explained by you is such a pleasure!
I got these on ebay for $90 back in 2007 almost brand new, wore them to high school and was breaking necks like crazy. In 3 months the hype for Jordans started skyrocking and was able to sell them used for $250 on Ebay again. Good old days.
Never apologize for length of video. You have so much information to share and that’s why we are here 😊
Sorry and puppies
Man. Loved this video. Lost my cat yesterday. She was 3 years old and she still looked like a kitten. Loved the review and the ending. This video cheered me up a little. Cat person here but I used to have 5 dogs at one point. Thank you, Chris and Jody.
Sorry to hear that 😔
Sorry to hear about your loss.
Sorry about your cat buddy.😢
Sorry about your loss.
Sorry for your loss
I was little when these dropped. When I hot into sneakers, the 17 and 17 low were one of the first shoes that I was soooo intrigued with. Man, what a shoe. Presentation at its finest.
I liked the longer video tbh. Loved the comparison with the older pair, and its always fun seeing you nerd out over the tech. As always, a great vid and can't wait for the next. Keep up the amazing work! 🔥👍
When I was first getting into sneakers, I always gravitated towards the lesser known Jordan's, like the 2s, 15s, 16s, and 17s. I had a pair of original 17s with the case and CD that my boss gifted me, brand new, never worn, with the peel stickers on. I loved those things.
15s 🤮
This is why you’re the GOAT. Love the detailed breakdowns of shoes 🙏🏻
Loved the long detailed video
One of my top 5 Jordan releases in 2024... 🌩️ ⚡
💯
facts
Call me crazy but 17's are pretty high up on my favorite jordans list. I actually love all his wizards shoes, some more than a couple of his bulls shoes and we need retros of the team fbi and jumpman select/all star.
Copped the new 'Since' shirt. Thank for the fun content!
Liking the long video dude; never apologise for yours and Jody's creativity, it's awesome 👌
PS missing your podcasts, really enjoyed those. 👍
This is why I love your channel. Complete detailed breakdown with the visuals was awesome. I was never interested in the shoe but loved learning about it.
keep up the content, love your videos!
The best Nike/Jordan review channel on here. Complete break down is much appreciated
As always!!
The explanation of the tech is the best part to me. We all like sneakers but you're teaching us about them in a way that is more than just style and when MJ wore the shoes. The Tech explanation is why I come to your channel. Thanks for providing attention and emphasis to detail!
The irony of him missing the dunk is that it’s not because he couldn’t jump high enough. He just didn’t realize what he should do and didn’t want to hurt himself. I’m 37 and thankfully still able to dunk, but I’m not doing anything creative nowadays and I definitely don’t have as much power as he had when he took off for that dunk.
Great video like always. I'm watching your channel from almost 8 years and learned a lot from nim. Keep doing what you do and don't apologize for the long video. Greetings from Poland.
I love yall videos. As someone who is in college right now aiming to become a footwear designer in the future, the information you guys share is very helpful and also intriguing. I’m glad I discovered this channel years ago. Love from Salem, Ma❤
Bro this is by far the best sneaker review I’ve ever seen you got a new subscriber bro amazing video 👍🙌🏾
Puppies for sure! Got my preorder in as well. Love the channel, the reviews, and the merch! Keep up the great work
Love this video and it led me go back to rewatch the Air Jordan project of these shoes. And all I can say is I still enjoy it as I did before.
Love your content fam! Keep it up! Can't wait to see what else you make in 2024! 👟🔥🎥
Like always great review, ❤ getting all the details and back story to every shoe you review. I always feel I get honest no hype review.
Don’t apologize for the length of the video. This was great and informative.
Great video again
Best shoe channel on TH-cam imo. You bring the perfect blend of pure enthusiasm for the shoes and actual technical/historic information on them too. And you do it all in a down to earth, laid back way that's informative and easy to digest. Keep up the good work!
Thank you ☺️
@@WearTestersI just wonder why they weren’t that expensive when they originally came out the highs were 200 with the brief case and the lows were like 150 I think with no suitcase
Always appreciate your videos even if they do run longer; I love all the detailed info!
Awesome, thank you!
Great review
My all time favorite Jordan silhouette, wish they retroed the Varsity Red 17’s, those the ones I ALWAYS wanted.
Definitely enjoying all the videos regardless of the content. Will be ordering the other hoodies on your since apparel merch, might order on the since 92 shirts as well ;)
Loved the info and breakdown of tech features.
QOTD answer is tough, but puppies take it with a slight edge.
What a great video this is. Thanks for this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
thank you!
Man when you were going over the OG lows, brought me all the way back to sophomore year of HS. And going over the tech of the originals, it made sense why they didn’t last me the summer lol I started playing in them outdoors and burnt through the outsole and midsole so damn fast. And definitely puppies lol
We love long videos Chris don't apologize for giving the people what they want, Keep it up! another great one!
Awesome! Thank you!
I was a puppy when these first came out and they're my favorite pair of Jordans!
I love these longer reviews. We get so much info and detail.
OTD: What is your favorite way to lace your shoes when you're not playing?
I LOVE THIS
Puppies 1000%... Hope I get a pair of these. Doesn't feel like it's going to be easy. Great review!
Love the breakdown of the shoe. A lot of you tubers aren't doing it. I didn't know there was and air bubble in the 17s
Wow great info thanks must have on the fence 🤔
For a sneaker I’m visually not in love with, these kicks have hella technology incorporated. Thank you for taking your time to enlighten the masses 👑✅💯
great vid
Yo that outsole is gorgeous!
Great review Chris! I didn't care for these when they released in 2002. I like them less now, but the review and presentation was great! Best sneaker channel on YT!
I was born in 2001 but I love learning about these shoes from back in the day!
Damn that was a hella in depth review!
1: No apologies necessary for an in-depth video
2: As a wide footer, I loved the squared toe box, but I hated the way the tpu panels chewed up the sides of my feet when playing. Still got the suitcase somewhere.
3: QOTD: puppies by a narrow margin, I've had cats before, but never a kitten.
I loved this video, the shoes I don’t know. I’m gonna wait till release date and see how I feel about them on that day.
Whoever does the editing on these deserves some sort of trophy...the little Staind clip at the beginning cracked me the f up 😂
These look really good.
I remember getting my metal suitcase with the high wizards versions of these. I felt like I was MJ himself! I had so many people try to buy it and the 📀. This is Great!!
Fantastic work. Puppies!
Kittens, but I love both.
More importantly, this is the video I have been waiting almost a month for. The Lightning 17s might be my most anticipated release of 2024. Already have my pair secured and can’t wait for their arrival. As always, I love your videos. When it comes to sneaker channels on TH-cam, second place isn’t even close. This teacher thanks you once again for the sneaker education!
remember seeing that shoe with a briefcase in store and thinking, "nice presentation." but most of them didn't sell out in our area and went on sale. after it went on sale around 30% off, it sold out. 🙂
Great video as always! Been excitedly waiting to hear Chris's thoughts on these. Disappointing that they even fell short on the thickness of the leather on this $300 pair, and I agree that they should've worked more on that toe slope. Still easily my most desired sneaker this year, and a personal must-have.
Oops, forgot to answer the question: I'm allergic to both so my real answer is neither, but I prefer kittens.
Awesome review as always. Will try to grab a pair if these release here in the Ph
I would choose puppies if I had to choose. But can’t say no to both.
we are always down for a long and detailed video tho!
These look nice 🔥
Need these
so cool that it came back with the box
I remember telling myself that I would never wear these again but nostalgia is a ....! Allergic to cats so puppies all day. Keep grindin'!!
Ain't nothing wrong with the length of the video especially when explaining details we didn't know about. I love the 17s. I'm trying now to figure out how I'm gonna get them.
Been waiting years for 17s to retro with the case! I used to own the black and white/blue OG pairs when they came out. Would love the lighting lows
I remember the AJ17 I was in the university back in France and I was going to buy them but ended up buying a shoe for myself and a shoe for my sister !
Would love to get a pair of these. Hope this gives em enough to do the highs next
If I recall didn't they call the heel Air unit a Blow molded Air unit. I played a lot in the 17s both mids and lows and they were solid performers.
Fun personal fact. When the 17's first dropped I bought just about every colorway both for the mids and the lows. And that was back when $200 was crazy to spend on sneakers. But at that time I didn't have any kids or a wife and all my money was mine LOL
The Air Jordan 16 featured a blow molded Air unit in the heel. Not 100% sure if the AJ17 did but it's possible.
Originals came in a face box with a real nice dust bag. I still have the UNC with the face box and the dust bag but they’re no longer wearable.
The original wizards colorway you have is what I want to come back out,hope the new update pair comes with the cd.I really want the 22’s colorway to come back,they remind me of a predecessor to the 17’s.especially the ones with the basketball skin color way.
still a great looking Js...this and the 18s are my two haunted pairs..hopefully they'll release the J21 too..tnx for the review.
Just like Jordan's missed dunk, I'm going to let these bounce away from me. I always love the shoe breakdowns, I love learning things from your channel! 👨🎓
Love the video! Had these back in the day ! I played ball in them they didn’t last! I thinking they had too much plastic! Huge pass for the price and they really don’t go with anything! Keep up the great content!
Great video as usual. I would say puppy all day everyday
Missed a dunk at MSG too. 1992 playoffs in the raptor 7s.
The vid was not too long; it was super informative - so it seemed short.
I am on the fence with these shoes! I love the look, think they’re cool - I just wish I could try them on. The thing that sucks about all of these raffles is that if something fits a little wonky, it’s a final sale w/no return.
Puppsters all the way! And definitely the puppy smell has something to do with it 😂 🐾
Kittens all the way! And yes we have had both...
I wanted these 17s back in 2002 but we were busy saving to pay off our wedding... now to work out who the heck is stocking these in Oz!
Nice one! Vibrant Five Finger shoes are still dope. I wear them a lot still. 💥👏🏿
this is going to be like the space jams. resellers are gonna call it a brick but jordan brand fans are gonna love it. that is a great shoe. not sure i would want to wear them. but they would look amazing on a shelf with the case.
The 17's are the best basketball sneaker I've ever played in. I had the first releases of the Wizards home colors and would rock them with my Jordan Wizards jersey. They were so comfortable and had amazing grip. I wore them and played in them so much the glue eventually gave way, that was a sad day for me. I did though hate the lace lock and cover that came with them.
Im definitely a dog dude.
Had these in grammar school, they looked great with school uniforms lol I do remember them being tight and taking long to break in lol
Mannn showing up to middle school with the black 17s and your note books in the suitcase you couldn’t tell me NOTHING!
they 17 is underrated design wise. what a gorgeous shoe.
I dont remember what issue of Slam magazine it was out of, but I had a pin up poster of that missed dunk.
Got some real core memories with these pairs, both the OG and the low, despite never owning either lol
OG: back in 6th grade (2002) EVERYBODY was all about the Adidas T-Macs. Everyone, myself included, had a pair. Nike and Jordan weren't as hot back then, especially for signature athlete shoes (VC was the only guy they had at the time iirc). When intramurals came around, everybody was getting ready to hoop and then one of the new-ish kids in school came to the court with a silver suitcase. Everybody was confused until he opened it and pulled out the OG red 17s which no one hade ever seen before. Dude looked like a legit baller and was pretty big for a 12y.o. filipino kid back then. Come jump ball, he won the tip and.....that was about it for his highlights. Dude had 2 left feet and couldn't actually hoop to save his life😂
Lows: next year (2003) was my high school freshman year in a new school. There was a junior at the time who was legit the Michael Jordan of that school. Never lost championship games, held all the scoring records etc and these lightning lows were his pair. The funny thing is is that after every game, before he went home, he would just leave his 17 lows in his locker by the restrooms without locking it. No padlock no nothing. Just threw them in there until the next game. Hell, sometimes he didn't even close the locker all the way. And NO ONE dared to steal 'em. Aside from the fact that we were a small school of about 360 students and everyone would know if you stole something from someone, all the hoopers in school respected TF outta this junior because of his skill and dominance. His 17s were safe because we would rather watch him hoop/play with him than have a shot at some "new" Js😂
I know jb would never do it, but would love if they could switch that poly eurathane out for a cushlon set up. Anyways beautiful shoe and fantastic review as always, appreciate the history on these.
I NEEEED EM
Saw it 😁
I was wondering if there is a difference in fit, heel slippage?
got the OGs in the white and red cw and they came in a red breif case. they were a back to school purchase on tax free weekend. I specifically remember goin to champs, footaction and footlocker before my mother eventually bought em’ for me. even back then the price for those was like double the normal OG retro prices. I remember the salesman at footlocker tellin my mother and I that I could use the breif case to put my toys in when asked by my mother what I was gonna do w it. every other sales man was like… idk when asked that same question. that’s why I ended up gettin my white and red ones from footlocker.
Do the two little "islands" right in the middle of the outsole do anything? Or do they just secure the tpu chassis?
It’s cool to have them back!
💯 I’m much more happy about things like these than most collaborations. Especially TS lows , but then a beautiful, original color way like the shadow one low drops and nobody cares that’s very strange to me. It shows me that they don’t really like Jordan one Lowe’s. They just like that name.
Wow. Took me to school today! Thanks 🔥
…Dogs all day!
I was a bucket in these. I thought they had a dope azz design when I first saw them, had to have um to hoop in. Not gonna get um cause too many above on the list but I love seeing them. ❤
Another great overall video review!! As always, thank you and very much appreciated. Thankfully, I still have my original Air Jordan XVII 17 mids and lows in the original colorways. One of my favorite post Michael Jordan Chicago Bulls models. As nice as this retro low colorway release is, for that $300 price point, and I understand what Chris explained as to why, a pass for me. If Jordan Brand releases the White/Carolina and/or Black, Silver low colorways, then I may CONSIDER shelling out the money for those. l truly wonder what the price of the AJ XVII 17 mid retro release in the white/red colorway will be. Afraid to find out. As for the question of the day, I am puppy person myself. Besides, I am allergic to cat hair.
Jordans past the 14 are quite unique imo although they come with a hefty $$$. The 16-18 are the 3 that I like the most.
TIL that 17s and 18s are square toed just like the 16s (since it so obvious in that model) i always love 16. Maybe i’ll give the 17 a try too since they share the same setup (zoom fore foot, air in the back).
Love these! I have those Mids! QOTD- Puppies All day everyday!!!
I like these i want em and the university blue and white ones 🔥💯
I got 4 cats.. Love them.
