Here’s another viewing of the Air Jordan 1 ‘Banned’ in the Black/Varsity Red colorway. The upper features a distressed leather material, which gives the shoe a decades-old vintage feel, alluding to the infamous banning of Michael’s signature sneaker by the NBA. A hefty fine was placed on Michael’s shoulders for each game her wore the shoes, but Nike took care of that burden and urged Michael to continue wearing the shoes. The ‘Banned’ version here features the red ‘X’ painted over the heel logo as well as a special insole, lace-tips, and miniature ‘X’ graphics on the inner lining. This sample you see here is a ‘B-Grade’ version (a Nike product with a minor factory defect) and was recently sold online. After checking out the new images, take a look at the final selling price of this auction from jayc414 on eBay.

May 17th, 2011 at 1:46 pm
First comment says it all. My thoughts exactly. These are mids, like the old loves. Not highs like the dmps. Hope they come out as highs.
May 17th, 2011 at 1:58 pm
ooh shit, more details on da shoe…imagine on da strings…nike air…premium leather….man easy copp
May 17th, 2011 at 2:00 pm
Everything looking good..but why do they have the same cut as an AF1?? Should definately have a higher cut like the 1's in the Bulls/Celtic DMP. Still can't wait they look like quality like the bordeauxs!
May 17th, 2011 at 2:01 pm
Thank you BasedGod!
May 17th, 2011 at 2:20 pm
yeah, I think that's what the concept of the "banned" theme means…and to answer that question, I don't even wanna know.
May 17th, 2011 at 2:41 pm

May 17th, 2011 at 3:44 pm

May 17th, 2011 at 5:39 pm
C'mon we want HIGH-TOPS, other than that i'm likin these
May 17th, 2011 at 5:41 pm
take the X off heel
May 17th, 2011 at 7:03 pm
but that would mess up the whole theme of the shoe…
May 17th, 2011 at 7:16 pm
i think it would look better with a black X on the heel, but that's just my opinion. lol
May 17th, 2011 at 8:37 pm
How many days you think I should stay for these? 2 or 3?
May 17th, 2011 at 9:59 pm

May 18th, 2011 at 8:00 am

May 18th, 2011 at 8:47 am
Friends and Family only people and they dropped late last year, General Public will not see these
unless in fact they release these mid-top versions which is wack because all other pics they were
the higher cut.
