Air Jordan 1 High OG ’85 “Bred” – The Return of a Legend

The Air Jordan 1 High OG ’85 “Bred” isn’t just a sneaker – it’s a cultural icon. This legendary colorway is making a comeback, bringing with it the history and heritage that changed both basketball and sneaker culture forever.

Why is the Air Jordan 1 “Bred” called “Banned”?

Back in 1985, Nike released the Air Jordan 1 in the bold Black and Red (“Bred”) colorway. However, the NBA had strict uniform regulations at the time, requiring players to wear sneakers that matched their team’s colors. The Air Jordan 1 “Bred” was deemed illegal, and Michael Jordan was fined $5,000 per game whenever he wore them on the court.

Instead of backing down, Nike embraced the controversy and launched a now-legendary ad campaign. The famous “Banned” commercial featured a blacked-out sneaker with the message that the NBA had forbidden the shoe – but not you. This marketing move skyrocketed the Air Jordan 1 into sneaker history, making it one of the most coveted kicks of all time.

What Makes the AJ1 High OG ’85 “Bred” Special?

This 2025 re-release brings back the original details that made the Air Jordan 1 an icon:

Slimmer toe box for a true-to-original shape

Premium leather for that OG look & feel

Retro stitching & classic Wings logo for authentic vintage vibes
