#SoleWatch favorite DeMar DeRozan is flexing his sneaker stash a little early this season.

For tonight's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, DeRozan took it back to 2002, bringing back the Air Jordan 17 in black and silver. No, this isn't the suede-based CDP retro —it's the real deal. And the timing is interesting, considering that the model is rumored to be returning next year.

DeRozan scored 7 points in 20 minutes, and the Raptors dropped the preseason game 89-87, but he won the day in sneakers.
