You don’t need to walk a mile in a pair of original “banned” 1985 Air Jordan 1’s — even if museum security guards would let you — to know there’s a story stitched into those bold red-and-black icons of foot candy, A breakthrough in basketball-shoe design, they’re credited for kicking off modern-day “sneaker culture.” Plus they got Michael Jordan ballet shoes by noel streatfeild in trouble because the colors violated the NBA’s uniform code — hence the banning — which only added to the sneaker’s mystique..
The two became a couple in 2007, having met a few years earlier, at a Nashville square dance where Fleck played and Washburn danced. “She is so beautiful when she dances,” he says. “She just lights up.”. They married in 2010. But Washburn hesitated to team up onstage. Fleck, who now has 15 Grammy awards, says, “Abby would always say, ‘Everyone’s going to think you’re just playing with me because I’m your girlfriend.’ And I would always say, ‘Well, when they hear you, they’re going to know why I’m playing with you. And that problem will be solved.’ She was always very cautious.”.

The news group gave the city until Feb. 10 to turn over the records or face a lawsuit in Alameda County Superior Court. City Council members haven’t seen the records either. “You don’t have it, I don’t have it, I don’t understand why it wouldn’t be made available,” said Councilman Noel Gallo, who represents the Fruitvale district where the fire occurred. Releasing records documenting police and fire department interaction with Ghost Ship residents is an “effort of regaining the trust of the public that we are doing our job or not doing our job,” he said.
