FAQs
What does 'Banned' refer to in the name?
The 'Banned' moniker references a historical event where Michael Jordan was reportedly fined for wearing shoes that violated NBA uniform regulations. The Air Jordan 1 was central to this narrative.
Are these shoes good for playing basketball?
While inspired by a basketball shoe, the Air Jordan 1 Mid 'Banned' is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. They offer cushioning but lack the advanced support and grip of modern performance basketball footwear.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals and machine washing. Always air dry.
What is the difference between Mid and High top Air Jordan 1s?
The primary difference is the height of the collar. Mid-tops have a shorter collar offering less ankle coverage than High-tops.
How durable is the leather material?
The leather is generally durable for casual wear. Proper care, including cleaning and conditioning, will help maintain its condition and longevity.
What does the SKU '554724-074' represent?
This is the Stock Keeping Unit, a unique identifier for this specific product model and colorway.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The leather offers some protection, but they are not waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. Applying a leather protectant spray can offer additional resistance.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels off
Ensure you have the correct UK size. Refer to sizing charts and consider trying them on if possible. Break-in period may be needed for initial wear.
Creasing on the leather
Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize appearance, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid bending the shoe excessively.
Traction feels slippery
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. The traction may feel less effective on extremely wet or polished surfaces.
Color transfer from red accents
In rare cases, the red dye may transfer to lighter socks. This is more common when the shoes are new and wet. Allow the shoes to dry completely and consider wearing darker socks initially.
