Air 23 – Air Jordan Release Dates, Foamposite, Air Max, and More

It’s been about 7 months since the last time, but finally here’s another look at the upcoming “Banned” edition Air Jordan 1 Retro. Inspired by MJ’s infamous banned black/red Air Jordan 1s, this release looks quite true to the original with its high cut profile and full leather upper. On the sock liner, you’ll find the date “10.18.85”, the day shoes were first banned from the NBA. Looking at the tag, you’ll notice that these were made in Taiwan, unlike Air Jordans from the past years, which have all been produced in China. Hopefully this means Nike plans to produce future models in Taiwan, which would probably result in increased quality. Unfortunately, this pair is only a promo, but hopefully these will see production. I’ll post more info as it becomes available.
