Air Jordan 1 High OG ‘Rebellionaire’

The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG ‘Rebellionaire’, released in March 2022, features a one-of-a-kind design that directly ties into the shoe’s mythical ‘Banned’ narrative. This story suggests that Michael Jordan was fined $5,000 each time he wore his signature black and red trainers on the court, in violation of the NBA’s uniform dress code at the time. The ‘Rebellionaire’ is a defiant homage to this act of rebellion. The upper features a leather construction with two-tone color blocking similar to the original ‘Shadow’ colorway, combining black and Particle Grey. The most distinctive and unique feature is the all-over graffiti-style text printed on the leather, which reads “They Can’t Stop You From Wearing Them,” paraphrasing a line from the original Air Jordan 1 television commercial from 1985. A bold red X is prominently displayed on the heel, further referencing the ‘Banned’ AJ1. The shoe maintains the classic Air Jordan 1 High silhouette, including its stitched overlays and perforated toe box. Maintaining its OG designation, this release features Nike Air branding on the woven tongue tag, a detail highly coveted by collectors. The classic Wings logo is prominently displayed on the lateral collar. Underfoot, a white midsole provides cushioning, complemented by a grey rubber outsole for durable traction.

This iconic sneaker is a bold statement piece, appealing to collectors who appreciate unique storytelling and a strong visual message. Its premium materials and iconic narrative make it a standout. It is ideal for serious collectors, basketball enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates a bold, statement-making shoe with a powerful historical narrative and a distinctive artistic finish.
