A pinnacle of rarity within the Air Jordan archive, the “Banned” Satin Air Jordan 1 reimagines one of the most mythologized color ways in sneaker history through an unexpected lens of material and exclusivity. Released in 2016 to commemorate the anniversary of the original black-and-red “Banned” color way made famous by Michael Jordan, this edition replaces traditional leather with a lustrous satin upper—referencing the warm-up suits worn during his early career.

Originally distributed exclusively through a one-day pop-up at 108 Wooster Street in New York City, the “Satin Banned” is executed in the unmistakable black, university red, and white palette. Limited to just 501 pairs worldwide and individually numbered, this example—129/501—stands as a documented piece of that ultra-exclusive release.
