The WNBA All-Star Game is set to take over Chicago this weekend, with non-stop parties, endless sneaker releases, oh, and a basketball game. But while Jordan is on its way to the Windy City to get the party started, the Jumpman is already thinking ahead to next season’s NBA All-Star Game, following up February’s LA extravaganza with a fiesta in Phoenix for 2027.
The Air Jordan 17 Retro College Blue is the first pair scheduled for next year’s Jordan Brand NBA All-Star rollout, coming back just like the OG pair, briefcase and all. Debuting as the most luxurious sneaker to date, the Air Jordan 17 is a beloved late-era numbered Jordan not only for its sleek design and sheathed silhouette, but mostly for its silver metal briefcase packaging instead of a traditional box.

Featuring a white leather upper with College Blue accents on the toe and on the heel, the side panel adds silver oval vents that double as closures for the hooks on the soft, stretchy black lace cover. More black is added to the laces and sockliner, with a transparent toggle tightening system at the top of the tongue.
