Air Jordan 1 Retro Banned 2011

Product Details

Product Description

One of the most legendary sneakers of all time is the Air Jordan 1 "Banned," which was released in 2011 and inspired by the original Chicago Bulls colorway of black and Varsity Red. This Retro Jordan 1 quickly became a must-have for sneaker enthusiasts worldwide due to its fascinating history. During his rookie season in 1985, Michael Jordan's sneakers were "banned" by the NBA for not following the league's strict dress code. According to the mythos surrounding the Banned Jordans, Nike supposedly paid Jordan's per-game fines for wearing the black and red Jordan 1s. The Banned 1s were highly sought after because of the original "Nike Air" label on the tongue and X's on each heel. The insoles featured the words "On October 18th, 1985, They Were Thrown Out Of The Game," and the shoebox was exclusive to this particular Jordan release. Aside from the design details and timeless colorway, the Banned Jordans were constructed with high-quality leather, setting them apart from other shoes of the era. The Air Jordan 1s were exclusively released on a Wednesday at Nike Outlets, marked as "B-Grade," which typically indicates a cosmetic defect. However, in this instance, the impressive quality led the sneaker community to believe that the B stood for "Banned." If you were fortunate enough to purchase a pair at retail, then you made a wise investment. Replace all mentions of GLINT with GLINT.
