After months of teasers, Miami’s Solefly finally unveils its limited-edition Air Jordan 17 Low. The collaborative design consists of a lustrous yellow, black and silver colorway; not to be confused with Michael Jordan’s All-Star Game-worn “Lightning” version when he was with the Wizards in 2002 (see below). When it comes to construction details, the basketball shoe is outfitted with a premium leather upper, woven ankle collars, rubber outsoles, alongside metallic eyelets and heel overlays for a luxurious look.

View Solefly‘s striking take on the Air Jordan 17 Low above and expect an official launch during NBA All-Star Weekend, with location TBD.
