Air Jordan XVII

Inspiration: Aston Martin

Air Jordan XVII Aston Martin

Of course, the majority of you will remember the Air Jordan XVII for coming in a suitcase and owning the highest price of any Air Jordan ($200). However, did you know it was inspired by an Aston Martin among other things? Yes, its sleek, elegant, low-profile silhouette was influenced by the Aston Martin, another car MJ had in his driveway parking lot. Jordan Brand released this sneaker in February of 2002, and MJ wore the Air Jordan XVII while playing with the Washington Wizards. Sources say he also used this sneaker to beat Kwame Brown when he played poorly (just kidding)!
