Next Saturday, September 3rd, Jordan Brand is bringing back one of their most iconic sneakers in the Jordan 1 Banned, but you won’t have to wait that long if you head over to eBay today. 2016’s rendition of the pair that was infamously banned by the NBA for not including enough white throughout the colorway by 1985 standards, comes equipped with a remastered upper complete with tumbled leather on the toecap and the Swoosh branding.
The Air Jordan 1 “Banned” promises to be one of the biggest releases in the Jumpman’s 2016 release slate not only because of the historical implications that come with this pair, but also due to the quality control included in this year’s release. It wasn’t that long ago that Jordan Brand announced their Remastering program that would pay extra attention to detail on molds and factory completion to give you a better retro release. That methodology appears to have paid off with this “Banned” release as the traditional Varsity Red and Black combination benefits from OG Wings branding on the ankle collar, ‘Nike Air’ tongue tags, and more.
