Air Jordan 1 Mid Banned

The Banned name comes from advertising, not from a league ruling, and it is worth getting the story straight because it is the most misquoted moment in sneaker history. The NBA's uniform policy required shoes to be at least 51 percent white. The shoe actually cited was the Nike Air Ship prototype Michael Jordan wore before the Air Jordan I reached the public on 1 April 1985. Nike paid the 5,000 dollar per game fine and built a campaign around the confrontation rather than redesigning anything. Black and red is the colour arrangement that carries that campaign, and on a Mid it becomes wearable at a scale the collector's High never quite reaches. You are buying the marketing decision that taught the entire sneaker market that transgression sells.
