how well does the iron method work on the toebox for the banneds? I picked up a pair in very good condition cept for the standard toe box creases. I put some XI shoe trees in them and stuffed some socks behind them.

The iron method will work but it will make the leather weaker in the future. IMO just ride it out, the creases will be back again with one wear

Those '94's are amazing!!!!! That smooth leather looks better than the pebbled leather on the banned's even though the banned quality is better. I hope the '13 retro does this shoe justice cause my goodness....

lol @ better quality, the sewing and stitching on the banned 1s is one of the poorest jobs done on a pair of 1s. Just look at the dudes pic from earlier, the back part, the swoosh I'm sure is all frayed too. Personally I'd rather just buy the OG Bred 1s coming out later this year. Save your money people, there is a reason why these were deemed as b-grades and outlet bound only, the job was done poorly sure leather looks nice but that's where it ends. If these hit retail stores, a lot of consumers would complain so JB knew better and released it in outlets so flaws were acceptable

I got this one guys
*ahem* the shoe is supposed to have a distressed look that is why the check is frayed and the leather on the banned 1 is the best leather that has ever been on an air Jordan 1. I think these were marked as B-grade because they weren't the original design JB had in mind for the banned 1. They were suppose to have a jumpman on the tongue with an X on it, a jumpman on the heel with the X on it and an X through the wings logo. Nike knew NO ONE would want that so we got these with the OG Nike branding on the tongue WHICH were the original reason these were sought after in the first place because we hadn't seen Nike branding on an AJ 1 in about 10 years. Availability played a big factor too which is now the biggest factor now that we are getting OG branded 1's back. The fact that they originally released in outlets I honestly think were to test the waters out with these OG branded 1's. Maybe to see if they still had some type of demand. 2 years and 5-6 locked royal threads later, I think we have our answer

If they're that bad, I'll gladly take a pair of your hands.

And a little more knowledge for you, the NBA didn't ban the air Jordan's, they banned the color way of black and red, the Nike airships were what were thrown out of the game and banned.

I thought that they were B-grades because of the Nike Air on the tongue as opposed to the "X".
If that is the case, the DMP 7 pack should be labeled as B-grades because the info was totally incorrect. In addition, the tag of the DMP 11 was incorrect, the date said June 26, 1996 instead of the correct date (I'm not looking at my pairs now, so don't hold me to the date). But one thing for sure, they won before the date on the tag. Sometimes, JB makes mistakes, but they should not make those errors.

True, I did not know that the Airships were banned until recently. Either way the black/red 1's would have been banned based on your reasons. As most of us know I think, is the lack of white on the shoe.
It's not always JB either. The factories producing them make mistakes all the time.
Wasn't the DMP 1 incorrect also? It's been awhile so I could be wrong. I do know he wore the White/Reds that game and not the Banneds so they kind of lost me at that point anyway.

I thought the DMP 1 had correct info. I could be wrong, and I cannot check them because I got rid of them.
I was surprised that the factories made the mistake, I thought it was JB all along (now I learned something).
One thing I cannot figure out is why all the size 14 Air Jordan 10's missed a letter in CHAMPIONSHIP. Is it the mold or something?
Yeah I would assume so, you're probably right. Ultimately when millions of pairs of shoes are getting made every year, its not to surprising things fall through the cracks every now and then. The people making and inspecting these things aren't combing through all these close enough to spot a missing letter or wrong date. Especially if that's all you do, all day every day. Probably looking for more major things like sole separation and incorrect color placements just my guess though.

I agree. Thanks for the useful info, this is coming from a person who brought Jordan's since 2000 and did not known the entirety of the info. Repped!!!
Just checked....my DMP 7s have a date of March 4th, 1993 (actual date of Jan 16th) and my DMP 1s show April 20th, 1986 (correct date).
I don't have the tag on my DMP 11s to check

got a pair of 1s banned a year or two ago (when the 1s were not as hyped as right now) and I really love these! It's true that they look a bit "rough" but the leather is great and it just really makes the shoe look like a 80s sneaker. (unlike the recent jordan 1 releases...)
