Air Jordan 1 "Bred" OG 1985

The original Air Jordan 1 "Bred" (Black/Red) from 1985 is the most culturally significant sneaker in history. Nike paid a $5,000 per game fine for Michael Jordan to wear these shoes — which violated the NBA's uniform policy requiring white shoes — and used the controversy as advertising. The "Banned" mythology became one of the greatest marketing stories in sports history. Original 1985 "Bred" pairs with the Nike Air branding (before the Air Jordan Brand logo) and the original box are the definition of holy grail sneakers. Value: $20,000–$80,000.
