FAQs
What does 'Banned' refer to in the shoe's name?
The 'Banned' nickname originates from a story where Michael Jordan was fined for wearing shoes that violated league uniform rules. The Air Jordan 1 Mid 'Banned' features the iconic black and red color scheme associated with this narrative.
Are these shoes suitable for playing basketball?
While inspired by a basketball shoe, the Air Jordan 1 Mid 'Banned' is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear sneaker. It may not provide the necessary ankle support and performance features for competitive basketball.
How do I clean the leather on these sneakers?
Clean the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner and follow product instructions. Always allow the shoes to air dry.
What is the main difference between the Mid and High versions of the Air Jordan 1?
The primary difference is the height of the collar. The Mid version has a collar that sits lower on the ankle compared to the original High-top version, offering a different aesthetic and feel.
What materials are used in the Air Jordan 1 Mid 'Banned'?
The shoe features a premium leather upper, a synthetic lining, and a rubber outsole. The midsole contains an encapsulated Air-Sole unit for cushioning.
What size is this guide referring to?
This specific guide entry is for a UK size 10. The Air Jordan 1 Mid 'Banned' is available in various sizes.
How should I store my Air Jordan 1 Mids when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape, and keeping them in their original box or a dust bag offers protection.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather
Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize appearance, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid overly tight lacing.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction. Try loosening the laces slightly or applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole.
Difficulty lacing evenly
Ensure laces are fed through eyelets smoothly. If the shoe feels too tight in certain areas, adjust the lacing pattern to distribute pressure more evenly.
Color transfer from red accents
In humid conditions or when wet, there's a slight possibility of color transfer. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored materials when the shoes are damp.
