“I’m a one man band/I’ll probably Jordan 1’em”
Reference: In 1985, NBA commissioner David Stern banned the initial colorway of the Air Jordan 1 due to it not meeting the league’s uniform policy. Jordan was fined $5,000 every time he wore the sneaker, which created enough buzz for the shoe to become extremely popular. In a risky move, Nike paid all of Jordan’s fines, and the colorway is now one of the most popular in the Air Jordan line. The Air Jordan 1 “Banned” released in retro form in 2011.
