Почему бренд Джордана запрещен в NBA 2K25?

Of course, the Jordan brand is the most iconic in all of sports. Countless players in the NBA and beyond have worn shoes inspired by the GOAT, Michael Jordan. With that being the case, NBA 2K offers plenty of Jordan products, even having a store full of items from the brand. Unfortunately, players who jumped on 2K25 on February 2nd, 2025, discovered that the brand was no longer available.

2K then took to social media to deliver a message. “Due to reasons beyond our control, Jordan Brand is BANNED in NBA 2K25,” it read. Это не оставляет игроков с большим количеством, но, к счастью, на самом деле не о чем беспокоиться, так как все это связано с маркетинговой кампанией, чтобы отпраздновать 40 -летие Air Jordan 1.

Over the last couple of weeks, Jordan-related locations have been “defaced” by black boxes. Some of the shoes on Nike's official website were hit, as was the Jordan statue at the United Center, where the Chicago Bulls play their games. It's a throwback to 1985 when the NBA tried to ban the Air Jordan 1 shoe because of its red and black color scheme. It didn't work, of course, with Nike picking up the tab for the fines Jordan received.

Will Banned Jordan Products Return to NBA 2K25?

While the marketing campaign is all well and good, it's not fun for 2K players who like to wear Jordan products. As of writing, 2K has yet to announce when Jordan items will return. However, there is a silver lining in that the removal of the ban is sure to bring something special to the game.

There are rumors that a new shoe is in the works, which has sneakerheads all over the world on high alert. If a new style does become available, it's sure to make its way to 2K and dominate the courts in MyCAREER. Конечно, на данный момент это просто предположение, но хорошие люди в 2K и Nike не собираются долго оставлять свою клиентуру в темноте, и даже если они это сделают, наверняка будут награды за все трудности.

And that's why the Jordan brand is banned in NBA 2K25 . If you're looking for more, here's whether you can play as a WNBA player in MyCAREER.
