The renowned 'banned' colorway of this OG black and red sneaker, dating back to 1985, holds a significant place in history. Legend has it that Michael Jordan faced a $5,000 fine each time he wore this rebellious color scheme during games, as the then-NBA commissioner, David Stern, had implemented a strict rule mandating mostly white basketball sneakers. However, Nike willingly absorbed the financial consequences of this rule-breaking, thus cementing the sneaker's reputation and turning it into a global symbol. Notably crafted by Peter Moore, this shoe has truly become an iconic sensation across the world.
