The Return of the Red “X”: A Legendary Colorway Makes Its Low-Top Debut

The AJ1 legacy continues to evolve as Nike prepares to drop a new iteration that bridges the gap between hardwood history and modern street style. This upcoming release sees the iconic “Bred” aesthetic return, this time in a low-cut silhouette that pays a direct nod to one of the most storied chapters in sneaker lore.

About Nike Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Banned”

The sneaker is constructed with a premium black tumbled leather base, providing a textured, high-end feel. Vibrant red accents pop across the toe box, Swoosh, and heel, faithfully inheriting the “Bred” colorway. The clean white midsole and bold red outsole create a sharp contrast that elevates the overall presence of the shoe.

The standout feature is the striking red “X” emblazoned on the heel. This detail is a deliberate homage to the legendary 2011 “Banned” High-top model, which famously referenced the NBA’s original prohibition of the colorway. By integrating this historical marker, the design offers a perfect fusion of classic heritage and contemporary sensibility. The Nike Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Banned” is set to release on 16th May 2026(JST).
