New Jordans 2017 will Tweet out an official link for everyone to take part in the raffle, which you can sign up for now.Starting today, December 1st at 5PM EST,  If you’re lucky enough to be selected as a winner you’ll be able to purchase a pair online from Nike.The scaled down version of the shoe worn by Jordan when he captured his 4th NBA championship sports the familiar black cordura and patent leather upper, white midsole and red translucent sole. However, the difference is the red lining, which was pulled directly from MJ's PE.Jordan debuted the initial XIs for that ’95-’96 season–his first away from retirement-and, using their wraparound patent leather, these were an instantaneous hit. Their recognition then escalated after Jordan used them wide Jam, which makes them probably the most covetable athletic shoes ever.While the high prices and high production numbers for this year’s retros are a big part of the reason they don’t sell out instantly anymore, I feel that there’s more reasons why that is.
The truth is you want the 2017 Air Jordan Shoes. You want the Chicago, the Royal, the Black Toe and the Breds (but not the Metallic Blue despite being a legit OG but whatever, I guess). If you’re feeling sporty, you hope that Jordan Brand brings back other OG colorways or unique one-offs like the black and gold or the China 1s.The Air Jordan 11 Retro "Space Jam" returns for the holiday season as part of Jordan Brand's annual Christmas Air Jordan 11 release and the brand's celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Space Jam movie. The sneaker features a cut and colorway that more closely resembles the original Michael Jordan "Space Jam" film PE and features a black nylon and patent leather upper with dark concord accents.Legendary colorways like the Air Jordan 8 Aqua, the Air Jordan 6 Maroon and new colorways like the Air Jordan 11 Low Closing Ceremony are not selling out as quickly nor are they going for as much as they would have several years ago on the resale market.
The KD 9 For Sale surpassed the previous year’s holiday release of the Air Jordan 11 72-10 as the largest grossing sneaker in Swoosh history as Nike’s Brand President Trevor Edwards confirmed in a recent Nike, Inc. report, saying, “The Space Jam 11 was the largest and most successful shoe launch in the history of Nike.”This weekend Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Bred (or Banned) is coming back this weekend and by all accounts every major retailer is going to be stocking and have plenty of pairs for most people who want to go through the raffle process. That’s great and all, but Jordan Brand should finally take the next step and just make the shoe available perpetually.Sometimes it can be because of a bad colorway or a certain retro that people aren’t drooling over (see: Air Jordan 20).
