2017 Nike Air Jordan 1 Mid Blue Mint EU44 Neu Mit Karton Händler for Jordan Brand. While it boasted some incredible collaborations and a strong array of “GR” drops, the brand as a whole struggled to meet expectations as they squandereed their #2 ranking in U.S. market share to German sportswear brand adidas. However, we can’t argue that the Jumpman put out some of the more coveted items of the year while flexing their creative muscles. See our list for the 10 best Jordans of 2017 below.
10. Air Jordan 6 “UNC”
One of the cleanest GRs in recent memory was the simple collegiate spin on the Air Jordan 6 Retro. With a nearly identical color-blocking as the iconic “Infrared”, this December drop replaced the hot red with Tar Heel blue.

9. Air Jordan 9 “Baseball” Pack
While the story of Michael Jordan’s baseball endeavors of 1994-1995 has been told, the Jumpman has never dropped a shoe in this creative manner. Two colorways of the Air Jordan 9 Retro were rebuilt with premium baseball glove leather and signature braids and weaves on the upper; black and brown were the options, with the latter being far more limited. Both were packaged in black pouches inside the shoebox so it was a complete mystery as to which color you were getting, harkening back to the days of the shock factor of ripping open a pack of baseball trading cards.

Jordan Brand switched things up in 2017 by dropping not one, but two different Кроссовки nike jordan 1 mid milan Retro releases for the holiday.

7. Headband jordan повязка
The annual unveiling of the new Air Jordan is an event that no sneakerhead can miss out on.
