The return of the Air Jordan 1 High OG '85 Banned

Releasing November 29

The return of the Air Jordan 1 High OG '85 Banned Releasing November 29

Apparently, the best was yet to come!
It seems that Nike is ready to release a new reiteration of the OG model of the 1985 Air Jordan 1 Banned "Bred"

Not too soon, the release, in fact, seems to be scheduled for November 29th, 2019 - Black Friday - we could review the iconic high-top and old school cut on the ankle, supple leather, and one-to-one proportions.
In 2016 a version of the Banned was released but with the current ankle cut while these will be exactly the same as those of the '85.

The "Banned" are perhaps the Air Jordan 1 with the coolest story of all, Nike also built a campaign with a commercial that has become an absolute cult.
Michael Jordan wore them during an NBA pre-season game but the NBA commissioner, David Stern, banned them because they didn't have enough white - a 51% rule - but it was abolished towards the end of the '00s.
Actually, the Nike Air Ship (prototype of the Jordan 1) was banned in the Black / Red colorway but Nike used it to make the "Banned" campaign.

The Air Jordan 1 Banned "Bred" is expected to be released on November 29th at $160.
