We didn’t get our passports updated in time to make it out to Paris this year, but considering the temperature out there this week, we’re perfectly satisfied observing the sneaker scorcher from social media and drinking our Aperol spritzes in a country that understands the wonders of air conditioning.
A Retro Revival in Black
The Air Jordan 17 Retro Low Black is the latest Jumpman pair with a mix of premium black materials, mixing almost grey nubuck with shiny black reptile skin fabric. After getting a look at an ostrich leather pair of black Air Jordan 14 Retro Lows at the Mowalola pop-up in Paris, the 17 brings more black and animal skin to the upcoming Black Pack, which also includes an unseen Air Jordan 16 and a previously previewed Air Jordan 15.
Air Jordan 17 Retro Low Black
Starting with a black, but nearly grey, nubuck on the toebox and lower side panels, the dark black amphibian skin covers either side of the lace panel. More black covers the back heel tab, inner bootie, laces, and midsole. Silver shines on the lace loops for a hit of bling, with a tonal black Jordan tag on the vamp.
