Product Information
Full details
The Air Jordan 1 Mid 'Banned' in Black/Red is designed for adults who appreciate iconic sneaker style with a classic colorway. Its key benefit is offering a versatile and recognizable look suitable for casual wear. A potential consideration is that the 'Banned' colorway, while classic, might be a bold choice for minimalists. This mid-top iteration features full-grain leather uppers in black and red, a white midsole, and a red rubber outsole, providing a blend of heritage design and modern comfort.

FAQs
What does the 'Banned' colorway signify?
The 'Banned' colorway refers to a legendary marketing campaign by Nike for the original Air Jordan 1, where Michael Jordan was reportedly fined for wearing shoes that violated league color rules. The black and red color scheme became iconic as a result.
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
No, the Air Jordan 1 Mid 'Banned' is designed as a lifestyle or casual sneaker. While they offer comfort for walking, they are not engineered for high-impact sports or running.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is made of full-grain leather, providing durability and a premium feel.
How should I clean the white midsole?
Use a damp cloth and a mild soap or a specialized sneaker cleaner. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can be effective, but use it gently to avoid damaging the material.
What is the difference between the Mid and High versions?
The primary difference is the height of the ankle collar. The Mid version has a shorter collar that hits mid-ankle, while the High version extends higher up the ankle. Both share similar design elements and colorways.
What sizes are available?
This specific listing is for UK size 12.5. Other sizes may be available through different listings or retailers.
Is the red leather on the shoe prone to bleeding?
While less common with modern production, some color rub-off can occur with darker leathers, especially when new or exposed to moisture. It's advisable to pair with darker socks initially.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on leather upper
Creasing is natural with leather footwear. To minimize appearance, store shoes with shoe trees or stuff them with paper when not in use. Avoid overly tight lacing.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or checking if the laces are too tight.
Color transfer (dye rub-off)
This can happen with new leather, especially in darker colors. Avoid wearing with light-colored socks until the shoes have been worn a few times or consider using a fabric protector spray designed for leather.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized leather cleaner can be used, followed by a dry cloth.
- Avoid Water Saturation: Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion in water can damage the leather and adhesives. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and maintain their shape. Avoid storing in direct sunlight, which can cause colors to fade.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking, especially after cleaning.
