Infinite Archives began in 2015 as a way to preserve history through collections of media, literature, and nostalgia. The popular page will be working with Nike for the first time on a collaborative sneaker and it'll be a rare one at that considering the unique nature of the 17.
The Air Jordan 17 was first debuted in 2002 and served as the first shoe worn by Michael Jordan in his return to the NBA for the Washington Wizards . The shoes notably came at a higher price tag and packaged in a silver briefcase. Infinite Archives plans to release three separate colorways, according to reports.

The classic "College Blue" colorway will return, notably serving as the debut colorway for the release back in 2002. The shoe instant cemented Jordan as a Washington Wizard and Infinite Archives will bring back the pair for the first time since 2002. Original pairs are fetching around $700 on the aftermarket.
The next sample is seen with a University Red TPU plate, likely a nod to the Varsity Red OG version from 2002. This also serves as an homage to the Chicago Bulls where Michael Jordan became a Hall-of-Famer and led one of the greatest dynasties in NBA history. Original pairs on the aftermarket are selling for around $900 , but there aren't many pairs floating around.
The final reported colorway comes in Royal Purple and as alluded to by @NickDePaula, could have direct correlation to Sacramento Kings guard Mike Bibby who had an extensive run of player exclusive colorways in the Jordan 17. It's not likely that you'll find one of Bibby's personal PE's floating around for purchase, so this is certainly an exciting colorway dropping for the first time.
