One of 2026’s surprise sneaker hits has been Jordan Brand’s premium “Black Pack” featuring four lesser-seen Air Jordan Retro models. And after the arrival of the pack’s first half with October’s Air Jordan 14 Retro Low and Air Jordan 16 Retro, the remaining two sneakers are finally set to arrive in early November.
The impending arrival of the second duo of Black Pack colorways brings official Nike e-commerce imagery, giving fans the best look yet at what to expect from the upcoming sneakers. Highlighted here is the Air Jordan 17 Retro Low SP Black Pack, a new spin on what has become one of the most popular post-Air Jordan 14 models in the brand’s archive.

Like the other Black Pack styles, the Air Jordan 17 Retro Low SP features a premium upper in (mostly) black, although it’s somewhat of an outlier with a more gray-leaning Anthracite shade filling in much of the sneaker’s nubuck upper. Premium stingray-inspired leather fills in the throat, while a stretchy inner bootie separates the low-top sneaker from its traditional midtop build. And keeping with the 2000s theme, the sneaker will also come packaged in the retro-inspired Jordan Brand “face box.”
The Air Jordan 17 was released in 2002 and was notable at the time for its higher-than-usual $200 price tag. This was necessitated by the sneaker’s packaging, which was a fully functional metal briefcase which played into designer Wilson Smith III’s jazz-inspired theme for the Air Jordan 17. Although the model has been infrequently reissued in the two decades-plus since its debut, recent rereleases have been met with enthusiasm, and readers should expect similar interest in the upcoming Black Pack drop.
The Air Jordan 17 Retro Low SP Black Pack features a full colorway of Black/Anthracite and is set to be released alongside its Air Jordan 15 Retro SP companion on Nov. 7 from select Jordan Brand Nbhd retailers for a retail price of $245. The sneaker’s style code is IZ2638-001.
