cuz they wanted to learn to play the flute?

Jordan Is were banned because they didnt match the league dress code. They were too vibrant to go with his jersey. The NBA decided to fine him for every timehe wore the shoe 5,000 dollars. Nike encouraged him to wear them and payed the fine for michael, as they ended up making more money of advertising the ban.More kids and adults alike wanted them just because of the story.

All teams were required to have matching uniforms before (which included the shoes which had to be either all white or all black). No one had ever seenanything like the 1s before.. a lot of sports writers even referred to them as "clown shoes." (probably because of the red and the high ankle). Hopethat helps.

In 1985, Peter Moore designed the Air Jordan I. Its styling resembled most every other basketball shoe available at the time but with one dramatic difference:a strikingly bold color scheme. In contrast to all the predominantly white sneakers on the market, the Air Jordans' black and red trimming ran afoul ofleague rules but became a trademark that lives on today. The NBA, not thinking highly of the shoe's color scheme, banned it and fined its namesake one tofive thousand dollars every time he wore them on the court. The executives at Nike capitalized on this and filmed a commercial with two "censor"boxes covering the shoes.

What would u do without Wikipedia.

[AIR J XIII]

since no one has mentioned it specifically, it was just the blk/red colorway, not the wht/red-blk colorway that he finished his rookie year in and wore hisentire second year.
