The History of Air Jordan 1
To this day, we have been led to believe that Michael Jordan was, or would be fined, $5,000 per game if he wore a certain pair of red and black Nike basketball shoes. Per the "uniformity of uniform rule" set by the NBA,
"A player must wear shoes that not only matched their uniforms, but matched the shoes worn by their teammates."
Red and black was much more rebellious than plain black and white shoes. That being said, first year NBA commissioner, David Stern, "threw them out of the game." Legend has it that MJ continued wearing the pair anyway, while Nike footed the bill.
