Imagine being able to walk into your local sneaker store and pickup the 'Bred' Air Jordan 1 Retro a few days after it released. That’s how it was back in 2001. In fact, the only time shoes sold out with any type of quickness was the Jordan 11s. This Air Jordan 1 'Bred' that released in 2001 was long overdue, making a comeback in retro form. While stories have been told about the Air Jordan 1 being 'banned' by the NBA, MJ actually never wore the 'Bred' colorway during a regular season game, but for the Slam Dunk Contest and promotional appearances. The Air Jordan 1 in black and red is one of the most popular Air Jordan shoes ever made. The 2001 Retro 'Bred', officially known as Black/Varsity Red, closely resembles the original and is highly sought after by Chicago Bulls fans and sneaker enthusiasts alike. The ‘BRED’ Air Jordan 1 is an iconic release in sneaker history, initially unveiled in 1985 and inspiring numerous other silhouettes. This 2001 retro features a high-top cut, Nike Air branding on the tongue, a silver Jumpman keychain, and each pair is numbered on the inside of the tongue out of 14884.
