Jordan Air Ship Pro
Description
Worn by NBA rookie Michael Jordan during the start of the 1984 - 1985 season, the Nike Air Ship OG ‘Banned’ is the actual shoe that earned the Chicago Bulls a $5,000 penalty for violating the NBA’s strict uniform policy. The high-top was quickly cobbled together by Nike designers while the Air Jordan 1 was still in development. Dressed in the iconic black and red colorway that would be repeated on the AJ1 when it debuted in early ’85, the design combines a Nike Air Ship upper with tooling borrowed from Nike Pro Circuit tennis shoe.
