Nike Air Jordan 17 Retro 'Copper' Release Date, Pics, Price
A revival 14 years in the making, Nike unleashes the Air Jordan Retro "Copper" on shelves Saturday.
Folks familiar with the shoe game from that time period will remember the jazz-influenced leather with splashes of Metallic Cooper Coin and Sport Royal with a dash of faux Croc.
Sneaker Bar Detroit provided a look at the release details:
| Saturday, April 9 | $250 |
Kicks on Fire took to Instagram to provide another angle of the eye-catching offering:
The smooth all-white upper screams a classic look, but the bottom and copper back is where things start to get interesting.
The croc-copper look extends all the way around the backside of the shoe and features the must-have Jumpman to complete the look.
B/R Kicks provided the angles:
It's hard for a picture to capture just how flashy the copper is in action.

Nike showed off a trio of angles, including a top-down look that gives a better view of the purple tab with a Jumpman on it across the top laces, as well as the Jumpman on the shoe's interior:
Within that link, Nike took a deep dive on the shoe's background:
"Jazz music and luxury were the two notable themes behind the Air Jordan XVII. The shoe was constructed to fit the needs of His Airness’ style of game that resembled the improvisation of Jazz music. Luxury was achieved by taking design inspiration from a first-class automobile.
"
With a prestigious history, an updated modern look and the surefire great performance folks expect from a pair of Jordans, it's not hard to see why this is one of the most anticipated releases of the spring.
Once again a trendsetter, sneakerheads can get their hands on the Jordan 17 Copper starting Saturday.
