Description
Banned by the NBA in 1985, Michael Jordan was charged $5,000 per game for wearing the Air Jordan 1 ��Black/Red’ because they didn��t include the color white which was part of the Chicago Bulls�� official team colors. Used as a marketing tactic, Nike crafted the ��Banned�� campaign around the sneakers to launch and promote the Air Jordan line. The sneaker was retroed in 1994, 2011, 2013 and 2016. The 2011 pair features an ��X�� on the heel paying homage to the ‘Banned’ nickname.
