The ‘banned’ sneaker returns: The Air Jordan 1 High OG ’85 ‘Bred’

For sneaker enthusiasts, there’s nothing better than the return of an iconic sneaker. This is a release you don’t want to miss: the Air Jordan 1 High OG ‘85 ‘Bred’. This sneaker was once banned by the NBA. Every game in which Michael Jordan wore these shoes, he was fined a staggering $5,000. The reason? The black-red colorway did not comply with the league’s uniform rules. However, this didn’t stop Jordan and Nike, the ban only made the sneaker even more legendary. Now, nearly 40 years later, this classic is making a comeback on February 14, 2025. A tribute to the original, but with today’s quality.

A timeless design

The Air Jordan 1 High OG ‘85 ‘Bred’ returns in its most authentic form. The upper is crafted from premium black and varsity red leather, creating the signature and bold ‘Bred’ look. What makes this version extra special is that it retains the exact shape of the original 1985 release. Thanks to the original ‘85 construction, this version features a higher collar than the Retro High OG and a slightly larger Swoosh. As an added touch, this sneaker comes with extra laces and an exclusive hangtag.
