Air Jordan 1 Retro Banned (B-Grade)
$3,050.94
Product details
One of the most iconic sneakers of all time, the Air Jordan 1 "Banned" released in 2011 and is based off the original Chicago Bulls-inspired colorway featuring black and Varsity Red. This Retro Jordan 1 became the object of desire of sneakerheads worldwide due to its legendary backstory. In 1985, Michael Jordan’s sneakers were "banned" by the NBA during his rookie season for not adhering to the league’s strict dress code. Nike supposedly paid the per-game fines for Jordan to wear the black and red Jordan 1s. Although the Bred colorway of the Jordan 1 had released in 2009, the Banned 1s became the talk of the sneaker community because they featured the original "Nike Air" label on the tongue and an "X" on each heel. The insoles read, "On October 18th, 1985, They Were Thrown Out Of The Game." The unique box that came with the Banned 1s also set them apart. Made of high-quality leather, the Banned Jordans had a design that made other releases look basic. Uniquely, they released exclusively at Nike Outlets on a Wednesday and were marked "B-Grade," usually indicating a cosmetic defect, leading the sneaker world to speculate that the "B" stood for "Banned." If you managed to grab a pair at retail, you made a good investment. This version of the iconic Air Jordan 1 ‘Banned’ includes subtle design details that reference its famous 1985 NBA ban. The shoe’s heel features a tonal red embossed X, the inner lining includes the date they were banned, and a special ‘Banned’ message on the insole. The sneaker also saw retro releases in 1994, 2009, 2013, and 2016.
