Released February 2002 Head Designer: Wilson Smith III
The Air Jordan 17 design was said to be inspired by three things; “the fine details from an Aston Martin, the smooth lines and flow of a jazz solo and the long Air Jordan history of innovations in style”
Well, if the Air Jordan 16’s were equipped with a gaiter/shroud that was removable and that would cover almost more than half of the shoe, the Air Jordan 17’s were no worse. With a removable midfoot cover you were once again given the power to choose whether or not the laces should be visible!
