people knew for a very long time. Over the years the truth has come out and we now know Nike exaggerated the whole thing. Also, we learned it wasn't the Jordan 1 that was banned but a temporary sneaker he was wearing while they completed his actual sneakers.

Related, a few years ago Nike released a Jordan 1 called the Banned Jordan 1 with a big black X on the back of a black and red sneaker. They love the story, even though it's not exactly true, and play into it every chance they get.

I think it’s even the story Jordan tells. -- nm - mafic Mar 30, 05:45 1
- If it was true it would be a great story that would sell a bunch of sneakers. -- nm - Krusty Mar 30, 05:55
