Description
Black and varsity red. The original banned colourway, and still the most recognisable sneaker Nike has ever made.
"Bred" is where the whole story starts: the pair the NBA fined Michael Jordan for wearing in 1985, and the one every other Jordan 1 is compared against. Black leather overlays on a varsity red base, white midsole, Nike Air branding on the tongue. Forty years on it hasn't needed a single update.
