Now that Russell Westbrook has stated his peace<\/a> regarding the return of the Air Jordan 1 “Banned”<\/strong> edition, the shoe’s namesake figure emerged with a few words about the shoe – or rather the color combination – that the NBA simply wouldn’t stand for.<\/p>\n

“It’s like a young kid when your parents say you can’t do something, and they wanna do it,” Jordan expressed. “I felt like I wanted to be different, and the league said, ‘Well, we’ve gotta stop that.'”<\/p>\n

The NBA famously “banned” the black and red coloring of the shoe Jordan was set to wear in 1985. The rest, as they say, is history.<\/p>\n
