First Look: This Air Jordan 17 Returns for the First Time In 23 Years

After the Air Jordan 17 Retro Low became one of 2024’s unexpected hit sneaker releases, Jordan Brand is set to revisit the model with another original colorway next year. Images of a 2025 Air Jordan 17 Retro Low in the original “Black/Chrome” style have surfaced on social media. The pair appears to feature all of the same elements from the shoe’s original 2002 release including a smooth black leather upper with a glossy black croc material filling in the eyestay. Accents are minimal, appearing only on the silver-coated eyelets and the heel’s metallic chrome detailing, which is covered with a protective sticker in the images seen here. Portions of blue and white appear on the outsole, but the design is otherwise a fully black-and-chrome look. Air Jordan 17 Retro Low ‘Black/Chrome’ (pair and heel).

The other two pairs, “Lightning” and “University Blue,” were both released in ’24 to a surprising amount of fanfare.  The late-teen Air Jordan models have historically underperformed at retail, but Jordan Brand strategically tightened up the distribution on the ’24 Low releases.
