Drawing back to when Michael Jordan received a $5,000 fine each time the rookie wore his signature black and red shoes on the court, which violated the NBA’s uniform dress code at the time is the Air Jordan 1 High OG ‘Rebellionaire.’ The shoe which ties into the shoe’s mythic ‘Banned’ narrative, features a leather upper finished in two-tone color blocking similar to the OG ‘Shadow’ colorway. Details include the ‘Banned’ AJ1’s red ‘X’ on the heel, along with an all-over print that spells out ‘They Can’t You From Wearing Them,’ which paraphrases a line from an original Air Jordan 1 TV commercial from 1985.

Showcasing distinctive color blocking from the 2018 release of an AJ1 High is the Air Jordan 1 Low ‘Bred Toe.’ This low-top features an all-leather upper with white quarter panels, a black forefoot overlay, a crimson toe box, and a matching red finish on the collar and heel overlay with a stitched Wings logo. The tongue is black nylon and has Jumpman branding in white. It’s built on a rubber cupsole with crisp white sidewalls with a red rubber outsole.

ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
Inspired by a popular card game among NBA athletes, the Air Jordan 1 Low SE ‘Spades’ emerges with a bold colorway modeled after the back of playing cards. As a result, the shoe’s quarter panel and forefoot include an embossed paisley print throughout, finished in black and University Red. The Swoosh branding accents the look in metallic gold, matched by the ‘K’ and ‘Q’ on the lateral forefoot of the left and right shoes. The tongue tag includes a spade, while underfoot, an Air midsole offers the usual cushioning.
