The "Banned" colorway refers to a narrative where Michael Jordan was allegedly fined by the NBA for wearing shoes that violated league uniform rules. This story, though debated, became a symbol of rebellion and individuality, which Jordan Brand capitalized on.
While inspired by basketball heritage, this is a lifestyle/casual shoe. It features Air cushioning for comfort but is not designed for the performance demands or support required for competitive basketball play.
Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer. Generally, ensure there is enough room to wiggle your toes comfortably without the shoe feeling loose. The fit should be snug but not constricting.
The leather upper offers some protection, but it is not waterproof. It is recommended to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to treat them with a leather protector for increased water resistance.
The primary difference is the silhouette: this is a low-cut version for easier styling and a more casual feel, while the original is a high-top designed for more ankle support. Both share the iconic design elements and historical significance.
Use a soft, damp cloth for the leather. For the sole, a slightly stiffer brush with mild soap and water can be used. Always allow the shoes to air dry completely.
Often, special releases like the Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG 'Banned' come in distinctive packaging that reflects the shoe's theme or historical context. This can vary by release.
Minor creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, avoid over-tightening laces and consider using shoe trees when not in use. Stuffing with paper can also help maintain shape.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean gently with appropriate leather cleaners and protectors to maintain color integrity.
New leather can be stiff. Wear the shoes regularly for short periods to break them in. Applying a leather conditioner can also help soften the material over time.
Setup:
No specific setup is required for footwear. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal fit and comfort.
