Air Jordan 17 Low "Black Patent" Expected Fall 2026

The Air Jordan 17 Low “Black Patent” is confirmed to arrive in Fall 2026.

Jordan Brand’s continued dive into the archive will continue into 2026, with the brand poised to reintroduce more models beyond the Air Jordan 1 through 14, with the Air Jordan 17 Low next in line for a modern revival. Following its 2024 return through OG colorways and collaborations in 2025, the silhouette is now set to expand into new territory with a high-fashion twist.

According to Sneaker Files, this upcoming pair reimagines the original “Black Chrome” edition from 2002, replacing its traditional smooth leather construction with a sleek, patent leather upper. The glossy black finish gives the 17 Low a sharper, more elevated look while keeping familiar elements like the Chrome heel detailing and crocodile-textured eyestays intact.

The move to bring back “once-forgotten retros” signals a broader push from Jordan Brand to explore its early-2000s archive — an era marked by experimentation, luxury materials, and a unique performance ethos that defined post-retirement Air Jordans. The 17 Low, in particular, was known for its fusion of basketball utility and formal design cues, famously packaged with its own briefcase upon original release.

The Air Jordan 17 Low “Black Patent” will release in Fall 2026 through select Jordan Brand retailers and Nike.com at a retail price yet to be confirmed.
