Jordan is gearing up for a serious retro run in 2027, but before we get too ahead of ourselves with leaked news and expected returns, there’s still nearly half of 2026 left, and the Jumpman is still bringing out plenty of heat for the end of summer and holiday shopping season. Next up? A patent leather Air Jordan 17 in black.
More Patent for the Summer
The Air Jordan 17 Low SP Black Patent keeps up the recent industry-wide obsession with patent leather, bringing back the early 2000s’ favorite look for a bit of shine in every step. Despite the glossy look, the pair keeps things simple in shade, with black patent on the upper structure, perforated black leather on the lace panel, and black fabric on the shaggy ankle collar.
Beyond the black, the colorway adds an icy blue sole and silver eyelets for some slight contrast. The Black Patent 17 Low arrives a few months before another black 17 drops as part of the Black Pack featuring animal print colorways of the Air Jordan 14, 15, 16, and 17, all in black.
