Infinite Archives Air Jordan 17 Low “Beach/Metallic Silver” IH0177-200

Seemingly more than any year, the title of “most anticipated Jordan collaboration” has been a hotly contested one. We’ll leave that conversation for another day, but one thing is for certain; few have been handled with the same level of mystique that Easy Tabor and Infinite Archives have adopted for their Air Jordan 17 Low. At long last, we’re getting some clarity, both in information and images, as the Infinite Archives x Air Jordan 17 Low emerges with in-hand looks.

We’ll begin with clarification: this pair is reportedly the actual release version of this shoe, leaving many of the other variations we saw in the past year as samples that won’t hit public hands. Crucially, the anime-inspired marketing that the imprint has trickled out to their social pages confirms this, depicting the multi-color outsole we can make out here. Said kaleidoscopic traction pads point back to the original looks for the AJ17, including the cult classic Mike Bibby PE referenced on one of those sample versions (official marketing copy refers to this shoe as a “tribute to Original jordan Brand players.”

The other true standout detail is the translucent TPU cage in the sole, allowing a noticeably clear look at the blow molded Air unit embedded in the sole. Just adjacent, a color-changing TPU clip adds some closing tech flair. The design as a whole completes by making good on the primary “Beach” coloring with tumbled leather quarter panels  and smooth toe caps, bracketing jet black collars and bootie interiors.

Catch images of the Infinite Archives x Air Jordan 17 Low below. Again, this version will reportedly be releasing; note that early leak info pointed to two pairs eventually hitting public hands.. Watch this page and our Jordan Release Dates hub for further updates in the coming weeks.
