Jordan 17 Low Black Patent
The Jordan 17 Low Black Patent with style code IV7640-001 brings back one of the most luxurious chapters in the Air Jordan line. The original Air Jordan 17 released in 2002, during Michael Jordan's Washington Wizards era, and was positioned as a premium model, famously sold in a metal briefcase. The low-top version strips the silhouette down to its sleekest form, and this Black Patent edition leans fully into that dressed-up character with a glossy black upper and chrome accents. Released in August 2026 at a retail price of 245 euros, this is a pair for collectors who appreciate the quieter, more refined side of Jordan history.
Colorway: Black/Black/Chrome
The Jordan 17 Low Black Patent is built on an all-black foundation, combining smooth leather panels with shiny patent leather overlays that catch the light with every step. The glossy finish wraps the toe box and mudguard, while matte black covers the midfoot and heel for a subtle contrast within the monochrome look. Chrome hardware and accents nod to the model's early-2000s luxury positioning, and the black midsole with supportive cushioning keeps the profile low and clean. A dark rubber outsole finishes the package. The result styles as easily with tailored trousers and overcoats as it does with black denim and leather jackets, making style code IV7640-001 one of the most versatile formal-leaning sneakers in the Jordan catalogue.
How does the Jordan 17 Low Black Patent fit?
The Jordan 17 Low Black Patent fits true to size, so you can stick with your usual Jordan or everyday sneaker size. The combination of leather and patent panels gives the upper a structured, secure feel around the midfoot, while the padded collar and cushioned midsole provide comfortable support for all-day wear. Keep in mind that patent leather has less stretch than regular leather: if you have wider feet or prefer a roomier toe box, going half a size up is a safe call for extra comfort.
