Here's the thing...
The original shoe that started the "ban" campaign from David Stern and Russ Granik in 1984-'85 was the Black/Red Air Ship that MJ wore during the pre-season against the New York Knicks around October 15-18, 1984. In Feb of '85, Granik wrote a letter addressed to Nike that they were going to prohibit "the wearing of certain red and black Nike basketball shoes by Chicago Bulls player Michael Jordan..."
The actual "banned" shoe was NOT the Air Jordan 1. It was the Nike Air Ship, a shoe that has never been retro'd.
Wouldn't that be something if the pair that releases on 9/3/16 is an OG remastered version of the Black/Red Nike Air Ship that MJ rocked in '84 instead of the Banned 1s that dropped in '11 or the Black/Red 1s of 2013. Instead of calling it "Nike Air Ship", they should simply called it "Air Jordan Banned OG," because it is in fact literally an "original."
At the end of the day however, I'm still thinking Nike is going to release the Banned 1s that dropped in '11, simply because the 2011 release was originally planned to be somewhat of a GR but because of production issues Nike had to scrap it and turned it into a super limited last minute drop which explains why every pair was a B-grade and only available at Nike outlet stores. 5 years later, Nike will right the wrong and make the Banned 1s widely available to the masses.
