Air Jordan 1 Mid Banned - Red Black - UK 9.5

The primary difference is the height of the ankle collar. This version is a mid-top, offering a slightly different aesthetic and feel compared to the original high-top silhouette.

While inspired by a basketball shoe, the Air Jordan 1 Mid Banned (2020) is primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. It does not offer the specialized support and performance features of modern basketball performance shoes.

Gently wipe the leather with a damp cloth and mild soap for cleaning. Allow to air dry naturally. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, use products specifically designed for leather footwear.

The 'Banned' nickname originates from the original Air Jordan 1, which was reportedly banned by the NBA for not adhering to uniform color rules. This colorway pays homage to that history.

It is not recommended to wear these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions. While the leather offers some protection, prolonged exposure to moisture can damage the material and affect the shoe's structure.

This particular Air Jordan 1 Mid 'Banned' colorway was released in November 2020.

To minimize creasing, ensure proper fit. Using shoe trees when not in wear can help maintain the shoe's shape. Avoid excessive bending of the toe box.

In rare cases, the red leather might transfer onto lighter socks or surfaces, especially when new or wet. Ensure socks are colorfast and avoid exposing the shoes to excessive moisture.

Replace worn laces with standard shoelaces of a similar length and color. Many retailers offer replacement laces for popular sneaker models.
