Air JD 1 Retro Bred “Banned” (2016) – 555088-001 Men Size 6.5 – 11 US
Banned by the NBA in 1985, Michael JD was charged $5,000 per game for wearing the Air JD 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, crafted the ‘Banned’ campaign around the sneakers to launch and promote the Air JD line. The Shoes was retroed in 1994, 2011, 2013 and 2016. The 2011 pair featured an ‘X’ on the heel paying homage to the ‘Banned’ nickname.
