Air Jordan 1 Retro High ‘Banned’

Just last night we reported on the Air Jordan 1 Retro High ‘Banned’ which had made its way to the Nike Factory Outlet in Oregon.

It was only a matter of time before someone posted it up on eBay. The price paid for the sneakers was $109 per pair, and there is one certain ‘Blatant Reseller’ who has listed them on eBay for $499.99. The size label shows the production date as 2010, after some research we’ve found out that these were made in 2010 and have since been scrapped. The pairs found in the Nike Outlet Store are marked as B-Grades. At this point there is no word on if these will ever make it into production again for an official release.

But, if you feel like applying some KY Jelly to your outstretched hand, reach behind you and pull out your wallet… they can soon be yours.

dude is worthless, cat paid $109 and is throwin them on eBay for $500? Someone will buy them too, thats the crappy part, but for some B Grades? C'mon, I'm gonna laugh when Nike drops these later this year or next and they sell retail, that dude that dropped $500 for his B Grades is going to be PISSED! And we're going to laugh!

Nike paid nothing to make them and exploits workers and then sells them for 109$ WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE between what Nike does and resellers do? I am not a re-seller but the logic for someone hating on re-selling when nike its self ‘re-sells’ for incredible profits is simply beyond me…people, dont be stupid!

Hate all you want but these shoes aren't the only ones that resellers are selling for a helluva lot more than they paid. The cat above hit it right on the head, it's called 'Supply and Demand'..sucks but that's how it goes.

Lastly, I got a pair. I live in Beaverton, Oregon (luckily) and they're not B-Grades. They're just the scrapped version. The employees there all were informed that they were just scrapped and the final release is the black 'X'. Kinda cool in my honest opinion. I'm rockin mine! =)

Wait, how come the shoe says Made in Taiwan on the tongue, and on the size tag,and box, it says Made in China??? I know someone might say"cause thats where the originals were made in" But thats weird that they would do it like that.
