919704 001 Air Jordan 1 Flyknit Banned

In 1985, the sneaker world was disrupted when Nike officially released Michael Jordan’s first signature shoe, the Air Jordan 1. In 2012, a ripple of equal potency was formed with the introduction of Flyknit, a game-changing innovation that elevated the industry to new heights and standards. Today, Nike and Jordan Brand come together to officially introduce the combining of these two forces in the Air Jordan 1 Flyknit.

The Air Jordan 1 Flyknit is seen here in the iconic “Banned” colorway with the original Air Jordan 1 sole with added Zoom, but the upper has been entirely reconstructed with Flyknit and engineered to exude the OG aesthetic. Atop the Flyknit are a plethora of fine leather details on the tongue, Wings logo, and the Swoosh, while a debossed logo that reads 19852017 in gold call out the shoe’s original debut and the release year of the Flyknit version.

The Air Jordan 1 Flyknit is set to release on September 9th, 2017 for $180 on Nike.com and at select Jordan Brand retailers worldwide.
