Nike Air Jordan 1 Retro 'Banned' Release Date, Pics, Price
The Air Jordan 1 makes a triumphant return Saturday with the release of the "Banned" colorway.
Sneakerheads haven't seen the Jordan 1 for three years, though this weekend's release promises a more accessible shoe this time around compared to 2013's limited release.
That's good news too because this model features the same traditional colors and premium leather upper so famous in kicks circles.
Here is a look at the release information, via Sneaker Bar Detroit:

It's all here: the leather, the white midsole, the red rubber outsole. The branding on the tongue offers a unique flair too.
Major names have continued to get in on the action surrounding the epic release, which is indeed a major event for the shoe world:

It's the little things in a traditional release like this, right?

Always a shoe primed for action on and off the court, this more widely accessible offering doesn't change the usage possibilities, giving flair off the court and comfort on it.
Sneaker Bar Detroit threw the revitalized classic in a fitting environment:
For contrast, Kicks on Fire provided a more casual situation for the kicks:
One could argue this is the most important shoe release of 2016 and wouldn't be far off the mark.
Air Jordan has done it again, breathing new life into a classic from 1985 through smart design decisions paying homage to the past while updating for the present.
Call it a blueprint that all comers to the shoe game should follow. Based on the cultural buzz this one continues to drum up, sneakerheads aren't going to want to miss out.
Those wanting to celebrate the success can get their hands on the Air Jordan 1 Retro "Banned" starting Saturday.
