Few shoes in the 30-plus-year history of the Air Jordan line are as famous as the black and red Air Jordan 1. The sneaker—known colloquially as the "Banned" Jordan 1 or the "Bred" Jordan 1—has been perennially important, from the murky mythology around its genesis to the fervor its retros inspire. Michael Jordan took the model from a flashy piece of footwear to a legitimate pop culture icon. ESPN's gripping The Last Dance documentary series captures some of Jordan's more memorable and confounding sneaker moments, but doesn't go deep on what made this specific sneaker so special. Here's how it all happened.

Chances are you’ve heard of Julius Erving and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. You would have to be culturally illiterate to be unfamiliar with Michael Jordan. But I’d bet money that you don’t know the story of Jack Inglis, who shares space with the legends in Mike Sielski’s new book “Magic in the Air.”

This is the kind of hoops history you didn’t know you craved, and which Sielski’s fast break of a dunk study delivers in abundance. But “Magic” does more than provide juicy tidbits. In lacing up a lively history of the slam dunk, Sielski, a sports columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer who writes with his profession’s characteristic flavor and flair, digs into the social and racial implications of sports’ most exciting play. He uses the stories of key athletes and moments to paint a bigger picture of a sport’s evolution from earthbound (and rather slow) competition to sky-high (and very fast) exuberance. “Magic in the Air” honors the dunk as a great feat of American improvisation, probably not as significant as jazz but not entirely dissimilar.

Like most revolutionary developments, the rise of the dunk struck fear in the establishment’s heart. The NCAA even banned the dunk from 1967 to 1976, which, when you think about it, is remarkably stupid: Hey, let’s eliminate the most kinetic part of the game, the play that makes fans stand and cheer like no other. As Sielski writes, “The rule seemed first and foremost a way to squelch the individual expression and athleticism that characterized the sport throughout urban America and that was intrinsic to the manner in which Black athletes played it.”

In short, the dunk was just too street. The ban was loudly championed by legendary Kentucky coach Adolph Rupp, whose all-white squad had just been spanked in the finals by a Texas Western (now University of Texas at El Paso) team that made history by starting five Black players. “It wasn’t just that players were dunking,” Sielski writes. “It was that Black players were dunking. And the
