 Jordan 1 Mid “Banned (2020)”

The Story Behind the Nike Air Jordan 1 Mid Banned

It was in the early 1980s when Nike discovered someone who was going to launch a whole new brand for the company, a "someone" who would also quickly take the Nike brand to a whole new level as well.

Young Michael Jordan had just been signed to the National Basketball Association's team the Chicago Bulls, after his amazing career with the University of North Carolina's Tar Heels.

His record-breaking performances with UNC had won him adoring fans everywhere, and Nike wanted to be part of his continued success.

After much back and forth, Jordan finally signed with the Nike brand and it was decided a new shoe was going to be made with his image splayed all over it!

But when he first wore the colorful black and red colorway on to the Chicago Bulls court, it was quickly banned by the basketball association for not being "regulation standard."

Jordan was fined and told he could not wear the Bulls' signature black and red color again on anything but NBA-regulated shoes.

But he did anyway, and the fans went wild with excitement for the man and his shoes!

The Air Jordan 1 Mid Banned Today

Fast forward three decades and you can now find fans everywhere purchasing the shoe that reminds them of that historic time in Michael Jordan's past...the Air Jordan 1 Mid Banned 2020 shoe.

The Air Jordan 1 Mid Banned 2020 takes the classic red and black colorway of the original high-top Jordan 1 and applies it to the more modern mid-cut sneaker that the Nike Air Jordan has been quite popular in other colorways and styles.


The Air Jordan 1 Mid Banned 2020 features the traditional Nike Air Jordan 1 full-grain black and red leather uppers.

And, similar to those original Air Jordan 1 black and red shoes, you will find hints of red leather on the toe box and the collar as well as on the heel, and always obvious Nike Swoosh.

In fact, if you look closely enough, you'll see that the only significant difference between the original Nike Air Jordan 1 colorway and the Nike Air Jordan 1 Banned 2020 is the red leather around the eyelets.

The white midsole of the Air Jordan 1 Banned is a great contrast from the red and black, and the Jumpman Logo is stamped in black... a great contrast to the red neck on the top of the shoe.
