FAQs

What does the "Banned" moniker refer to?

The "Banned" colorway refers to the story that Michael Jordan wore the original Air Jordan 1 in this black and red color scheme, and the NBA fined him each time he wore it because it violated the league's dress code at the time.

Are these suitable for playing basketball?

While inspired by basketball heritage, these are retro lifestyle sneakers. They feature Air cushioning for comfort but lack the advanced support and ankle stability of modern performance basketball shoes.

How should I clean the leather upper?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the leather. For tougher stains, a specialized leather cleaner can be applied sparingly with a clean cloth. Always allow the shoes to air dry completely.

What material is the shoe made of?

The shoe features a leather upper and leather overlays. The toe box is perforated for breathability, and it has a rubber outsole.

Does this model include the 'X' detail on the heel?

Yes, this retro model is adorned with 'X' details on the heel tabs, paying homage to its notorious "Banned" status and the narrative surrounding it.

What is the cushioning technology used?

The shoe utilizes Nike Air cushioning, an encapsulated unit within the midsole that provides responsive comfort for everyday wear.

How does the sizing run?

The sizing generally follows standard Nike Jordan footwear sizing. It is recommended to consult size charts and consider personal fit preferences. This specific guide lists UK sizing.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Leather can stretch slightly over time with wear. Using a shoe tree can help maintain shape and potentially aid in minor stretching. Break in the shoes gradually with short periods of wear.

Leather scuffs or scratches appear

For minor scuffs, try using a leather conditioner or a specialized leather eraser. Deeper scratches may require professional leather repair.

Sole is dirty or losing grip

Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure it is completely dry before use. For significant wear, consider consulting a shoe repair specialist for sole restoration.

Discoloration of leather

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or excessive moisture, which can cause discoloration. Use appropriate leather care products designed to maintain color.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the leather upper and overlays. For stubborn marks, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  2. Lining: For the interior, a dry cloth or a soft brush can help remove debris. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before wearing after cleaning.
  3. Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or original box to protect from dust and maintain shape. Avoid storing in direct sunlight.
