The Air Jordan "Banned"


For my first ever post! :)  THE AIR JORDAN 1 "Banned". Yeap! This shoe was really banned in the NBA. Despite the issue surrounding this shoe Michael Jordan continued to wear this kicks even though Commissioner David Stern fined him 5000 dollars for every game he wore this shoe. Nike used this as a promotional tool in advertisements saying that whoever wears this shoe will have a certain edge against their opponents. This shoe was released last October 18, 1985
