FAQs
What does 'Banned' refer to in the colorway name?
The 'Banned' colorway refers to the original Air Jordan 1, which Michael Jordan famously wore. NBA rules at the time prohibited shoes that were not predominantly white, and his black and red shoes were reportedly fined each time he wore them. Nike then created a campaign around these 'banned' shoes.
Are these shoes good for playing basketball?
While the Air Jordan 1 originated as a basketball shoe, the mid-top version is primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. For serious basketball performance, specialized basketball shoes are recommended for better support and cushioning.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner and apply it with a clean cloth. Always test the cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
What is the difference between the Mid and High versions of the Air Jordan 1?
The primary difference is the height of the collar. The Mid has a collar that reaches midway up the ankle, while the High has a taller collar that extends above the ankle bone. This affects the aesthetic and offers slightly different levels of ankle coverage and support.
How does the sizing run for the Air Jordan 1 Mid 'Banned'?
The Air Jordan 1 Mid generally runs true to size for most people. However, individual fit can vary. It's recommended to check reviews or try them on if possible, especially considering the UK sizing provided.
What materials are used in the Air Jordan 1 Mid 'Banned'?
The upper is constructed from full-grain leather. The midsole typically contains Nike Air cushioning, and the outsole is made of rubber for traction.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on leather
Natural creasing is normal with leather footwear. Using shoe trees when not in use can help minimize deep creases. Avoid over-tightening laces.
Squeaking sound from sole
This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between layers. Try allowing the shoes to air out completely. If persistent, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.
Color transfer from red leather
In damp conditions, there's a slight possibility of color transfer from the red leather to lighter socks. Ensure the shoes are dry and consider using a leather protectant spray specifically formulated for preventing color transfer.
