Infinite Archives x Air Jordan 17 Low “Varsity Purple” and “Varsity Red” Design
Both pairs are expected to stay close to those samples. Each uses a sail leather upper with black accents on the eyestays and the internal bootie. The Jordan branded heel spoiler has a chrome finish. Infinite Archives tags sit on the bootie in the matching purple or red. The official colorway strings are Sail/Metallic Silver/Varsity Purple and Sail/Metallic Silver/Varsity Red.
The purple sample borrowed its colorblocking from the Air Jordan 17 PE Mike Bibby wore with the Sacramento Kings. The red sample applies the same blocking with varsity red accents, which gives it a Chicago style look.
Are the 2027 Pairs the Same as Easy Otabor’s Samples?
That has not been confirmed. The colorway codes and the reported details point to pairs that stay nearly identical to the samples Otabor previewed.
