#Air Jordans were once banned from the NBA

Nike developed their sneakers with the rookie Micheal Jordan, although they were received with a great deal of criticism and controversy. In spite of being designed for the basketball court, Jordan’s iconic shoes were against uniform regulation due to their red color. Teammates are specifically required to wear sneakers in the same color as their uniform, and that match those of other players. Nike pushed the marketing with Jordan, and children soon became keen to get a pair of “banned” shoes. Eventually, the NBA allowed them to be worn by players, although it was met with a lot of fines.
