Air Jordan 1 High OG “Rebellionaire” Simplifies the ‘Rebel for A Cause’ Nature of Michael Jordan

History Repeats Itself:

Michael Jordan is a rebel for a cause. He dared to have worn a banned sneaker by NBA back in his playing days in 1985, which created a legacy of Air Jordan 1 releases with subsequent colorways. The brand has now been established and adored  world over by the fans of Michael Jordan.

The actual history belongs to Air Jordan 1 Black/red colorway. Back in the 1980s, the dress code for athletes in NBA in footwear needed to be predominantly white. But that sneaker of MJ has a different colorway of black/red, deviating from the rules set by the league. The iconic bred colorway only shows white color on the midsole, so the NBA banned it from the court with heavy fines imposed on Jordan whenever he stepped with them.

 

The Air Jordan 1s gives MJ a rebellious appeal among the fans showed him wearing the red/black AJ 1 Colorways with cross marks on the sneakers at the finish of the now-famous ad of 1985. Nike sees it as a blessing in disguise, or moreover, a marketing tool to promote Air Jordan 1 OG High. It took the matter on its hands by paying the fine of $5000 for Michael Jordan each time he played wearing it. Air Jordan Brand portfolio defy the odds with one billion worth. It officially became an entity in 1998.

The marketing campaign of Nike leads to sales increment and establishes the Air Jordan 1 brand far and wide. We can see wacky color pops on basketball athletes on the court. Subsequently, the league has changed its sneakers and color patterns rules. All restrictions on sneakers colors have been waived off from 2018-19 season.

What Makes Michael Jordan, A Rebel:

Nike made MJ the brand ambassador of the Air Jordan brand by a sponsorship bargain that would provide Jordan with his own line of basketball shoes, yet the main run of Air Jordans was not yet prepared when his youngster season started in 1984. Meanwhile, Nike furnished Jordan with Air Ships, which turned into the principal shoes Jordan wore as a player and came in both the red-and-white shading plan as seen here and a dark and-red form.

 

The shoes caused some contention and provided Nike with a significant piece of exposure when – after Jordan had worn the dark and-red Air Ships in a preseason game – the NBA let Nike know that the shoes with that shading plan abused the association’s consistency of uniform condition. Nike made an Air Jordan 1 promotion crusade around the NBA’s declaration, saying: “The NBA tossed them out of the game. Luckily, the NBA can’t prevent you from wearing them.”

 

The NBA protested the dark and-red Air Ships since they needed whiter in them and didn’t match his colleagues’ shoes, so Jordan wore either the red-and-white Air Ships or the red-and-white Air Jordan 1s during his youngster season, making him the undisputed king of a rebel by nature. (Nike says the organization paid a $5,000 fine every time Jordan wore the dark and-red shoes).

 

A couple of Air Jordan 1s worn by Jordan during a 1985 presentation game in Italy – he broke the backboard on a dunk, the shoes actually had a shard of glass installed in the sole of the left shoe – held the past record for game-worn basketball shoes, selling for $615,000 in August 2020.
