The Air Jordan 1 Banned has become a mythical shoe. An upstart NBA player by the name of Michael Jordan gets told that the red and black colorway of his new Nike signature shoe is a no go, and a legend is born. 

Los York Entertainment has just announced Unbanned: The Legend of AJ1, a feature doc that dissects the cultural impact and influence of the Air Jordan 1.

Written & directed by Dexton Deboree the film features a who’s who of influencers and sneakerheads giving their insight, including Spike Lee, DJ Khaled, Chuck D, DJ Clark Kent, Lena Waithe, Russell Westbrook, Carmelo Anthony and of course, Michael Jordan himself.
