Jordan Brand is bringing back a classic 2002 silhouette for the new year. In 2024, the Air Jordan 17 Low is slated to make a comeback in “University Blue.”

The retro return of the shoe’s college iteration was sported by the great Michael Jordan when he played for the Washington Wizards. The colorway, which is also known as “Carolina,” comes dressed in a white, university blue, black and chrome color scheme. Paying homage to Jordan’s college days, the shoe features a low-cut design, boasting a leather upper and Dynamic Fit inner sleeve for added support. The chrome strip highlights the heel, giving the shoe its distinctive look. It also features an integrated lace-up closure for an added secure fit. The shoe has a full-length shank plate and a TPU heel stabilizer and a lightweight phylon midsole with herringbone traction for optimal grip on and off the court.

Look out for the Air Jordan 17 Low “University Blue” in Spring 2024 in select retailers and online at Nike.

In other footwear news, the Nike Air Alpha Force 88 arrives in “Black/Guava Ice.”
