The Air Jordan 1 Mid ‘Banned’ pays homage to the legendary Black/Red AJ1 of 1985, often misattributed as the shoe responsible for Michael Jordan's infamous $5,000 fines per game. (In truth, it was the Nike Air Ship.) This iteration features a leather upper with the classic black and red color scheme, closely mirroring its iconic predecessor. Notably, a touch of red now graces the shortened eyestay, while the Nike Air branding on the woven tongue tag is replaced by a bold red Jumpman icon.
