The Air Jordan I shoe is the king of basketball footwear, launching a billion-dollar industry as the launchpad for Michael Jordan’s meteoric rise. This black and red pair of Air Jordan I Retro High Ban sneakers includes one signed by “His Airness” himself, with Jordan signing his iconic autograph on the toe of the right shoe in black marker. These black and red Jordans were the focal point of Nike’s “Banned” advertising campaign, as Jordan was fined $5,000 per-game he wore the distinctive sneakers due to the lack of white on the shoes. A red “X” is applied to the heels of both sneakers, and “10.18.85” is stamped in white on the shoes. The sneakers come with the original box, a retro release in 2011, are a size 11 and come with a hologram and cert card from Upper Deck Authentication (UAS06520).
