Jordan 1 Retro Banned (B-Grade) (2011) 432001-001 – Brosneaker

Introducing the iconic Air Jordan 1 “Banned,” a timeless sneaker inspired by the original Chicago Bulls colorway of black and Varsity Red. This Retro Jordan 1, released in 2011, quickly captured the hearts of sneaker enthusiasts worldwide with its legendary backstory. Back in 1985, Michael Jordan’s defiance of the NBA’s strict dress code led to his sneakers being famously “banned” during his rookie season. Nike reportedly covered the fines so Jordan could continue wearing the black and red Jordan 1s. The Banned Jordans stood out with the original “Nike Air” label on the tongue and “X” branding on each heel. Even the insoles carried a message, commemorating the historic date of October 18th, 1985. The unique packaging of the Banned 1s further set them apart from other Jordan releases. Crafted from premium leather, these sneakers exuded quality that outshone their contemporaries. The Banned Jordans were initially sold exclusively at Nike Outlets on a Wednesday, a departure from the usual weekend releases, and labeled as “B-Grade,” sparking speculation that the “B” stood for “Banned.” If you were fortunate enough to secure a pair at retail, you not only acquired a coveted piece of sneaker history but also made a savvy investment. Step into style and history with the Air Jordan 1 “Banned” from Brosneaker.
