Nike is reintroducing the Metcon 1 in its iconic “Banned” colorway. This design, originally debuted in 2015, gained fame as it was “Banned” from the CrossFit Games due to Reebok’s exclusive sponsorship. The return of this colorway comes just before the launch of the Nike Metcon X, the 10th edition of the training shoe. Fans of the Metcon line are eagerly awaiting this nostalgic release.
The Nike Metcon 1 “Banned” colorway holds a special place in the brand’s history. Its marketing narrative is a key part of Nike’s storytelling. Featuring a striking Black and Red color palette, it stands out in the Metcon lineup. The insoles display the “Banned” X logo, adding a rebellious flair. This element pays homage to the 1985 incident when the NBA banned Michael Jordan’s Air Jordan 1 sneakers for their Black/Red color scheme. Jordan was fined $5,000 per game for wearing them, making the “Banned” theme legendary.
The Metcon 1 OG Road to Metcon X “Banned” will release on August 2, 2024. It will be available at select retailers, in-store, online, and on Nike.com. The shoe will come in men’s sizing with a retail price of $150 USD.
Fans of the Metcon series should mark their calendars. This release is not just about a shoe; it’s a piece of Nike’s history. The “Banned” colorway’s return symbolizes innovation and rebellion, resonating with Nike enthusiasts. Whether you’re a long-time fan or new to the Metcon line, this release promises to be a highlight.
Don’t miss the chance to own a piece of Nike’s iconic history. The Metcon 1 “Banned” colorway is a perfect blend of style, performance, and heritage. Get ready for August 2, 2024, and secure your pair before they sell out.
