The Air Jordan 1 might be the most iconic sneaker of all time. It impacted skate culture heavily after being prominently worn by the Bones Brigade in The Search For Animal Chin [1987]. This arguably set the stage for Nike’s foray into skateboarding. Unbanned: The Legend of AJ1 examines the shoe’s rich history, and acknowledges the impact that it had on skateboarding via a section of the film that includes an interview with Lance Mountain. This debut documentary from Los York was released on Hulu today, and is worth a watch the next time you find yourself surfing channels.
