Air Jordan 1 High "Banned"

Photobucket

..The shoe is based after the shoe Jordan first wore in the NBA, that was banned by league official.. (Check the PS.)

..But Jordan being the G that he is, kept on rocking the shoe even with a $5,000 a game fine because the shoe did not incorporate the white color, which was mandatory at the time, the fine however was paid by Nike as a great marketing scheme, later on Nike did produce a Air Jordan 1 with the incorporated white colorway in the shoe..

..MSRP : $125..

P.S. Jordan never actually wore these on the court, he rocked some black and red Air Ships, but nike ran off with the ploy as a marketing scheme. Another banned Jordan shoe was the Concord XI's...Jordan was fined because the rest of the team rocked black sneakers, after he was fined twice, he started rocking Air Maestros, all of this spawned Nike to make the all black XI's now known as the Space Jams

I know jordan first broke out the xi's during the '95 semi finals against orlando wearing the 45 jersey when Nick Anderson had that steal on jordan to win game 1, but he come back the following season in '96 wearing the concords almost every game. If they weren't concords they looked exactly like them.
