[xXSOLDIER23Xx]

Ha Ha you can clearly see the white on the shoes

[VideoGamesAreMyDrug]

idk what this crap is about there being no white...:21 you can clearly see the white going around the rim of the shoe. correct mee if i am wrong.

[dannywuyue]

@VideoGamesAreMyDrug the shoe has to be mostly white with accents of the team's color, so the should shouldve been all white with a red swoosh, something like dat

[dannywuyue]

@VideoGamesAreMyDrug the shoe had to be MOSTLY white and little accents of the team's dominate color for example for the bulls it wouldve been a fully white shoe with a red swoosh. Hope this helped

[gregorygomes1]

The NBA had a strict rule: Shoes had to have a majority of white within their design; the Jordan I's did not. (complete red and black).

[SeanAndThePerverts]

how come they only allowed shoes that were mainly white?

[traptors613]

i have tht shoe but it kind has white on mine

[Thebasketballblogger]

Cool commercial. We will be joining with designers from the "tBbB" to launch a clothing line which is inspired by the likes of these shoes. Check out our official Youtube channel and visit our website/blog.

[beshrew5]

it was banned because of the gang war during that time. i forgot the details.

[tK3xpress]

it was banned because the shoe was not the colour did not go wid the chicago bulls colours.

i read abt it in this micheal jordan book

[DaFisch33]

ur kidding right? the bulls are mainly red and black. white is barely an asset to any team really

[kingstephon299]

why was it banned

[Choowii09]

banned due to of the color of the shoe, it didnt have a white color on it.

[pleasedontask]

[mhz313]

the nba banned that shoe because of the uniform rule all shoes have to have white in them, then after they banned and fined MJ $5000 each game they went on to sell 5 million pair with 17 different colors crazy

thanks NBA!

[YOUNGASSIDY21]

[13heavymetal]

@YOUNGASSIDY21 No. The adidas superstars had been out for a long time, with white and black on them.

[birdydun]

i love jordans they so cummfy an it looks great

[ZGJDJD]

how is this one banned???

[AznBoiBalla]

They were banned because the NBA back then required players to wear predominantly white shoes and as you can see the Air Jordan 1s were black and red. The NBA fined Michael $5000 every game he wore them, but Nike payed his fine every time. They eventually sold them to the public using the genius marketing idea that they were so great they were illegal.

[ZGJDJD]

Thank you.

[mastkow]
