Product Information
Full details
The Air Jordan 1 Mid 'Banned' in Black, UK size 11, is designed for adult males seeking a stylish and iconic sneaker with a heritage feel. Its key benefit is the timeless design and premium leather construction, offering both aesthetic appeal and durability. A potential caveat is that, as a fashion item, its primary function is not athletic performance, and sizing can be a personal preference. This mid-cut sneaker features a classic black and red color scheme, a premium leather upper, a hyper-royal-white midsole, and a red rubber outsole, staying true to its legendary origins.

FAQs
What does 'Banned' refer to in the shoe's name?
The 'Banned' moniker refers to the original Air Jordan 1 High, which was rumored to be banned by the NBA for not adhering to uniform color rules, creating a legendary marketing narrative.
Is this shoe suitable for playing basketball?
While inspired by a basketball shoe, the Air Jordan 1 Mid is primarily designed for casual wear and fashion. It does not offer the same level of support or performance as modern basketball-specific footwear.
How do I know if I have the right size?
It is recommended to try them on if possible, or refer to standard shoe sizing charts. The UK size 11 is equivalent to a US men's 12.
What is the material of the sole?
The midsole is typically made of a foam compound (like Phylon or Air-infused), and the outsole is made of durable rubber for traction.
Can I machine wash these sneakers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, stitching, and overall structure of the shoe.
What are the main colors of this sneaker?
The main colors are black and red, with a white midsole and sometimes subtle accents.
What year was this specific colorway originally released?
This particular Air Jordan 1 Mid 'Banned' colorway was originally released around October 2020.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in leather
Natural creasing is normal with leather. To minimize, use a shoe tree when not in use and avoid over-tightening laces.
Squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur between the sole and upper. Try flexing the shoe gently or checking for any debris trapped in the seams.
Color transfer
The red accents may transfer onto lighter socks or surfaces, especially when new or wet. Ensure socks are colorfast and avoid excessive moisture.
