The Air Jordan 1 High OG 'Shattered Backboard' is set to make a long-awaited comeback. Originally released in 2015, the fan-favorite colorway will return this year for its 10th anniversary. The 'Shattered Backboard' name recalls one very special event during Michael Jordan's early career during a 1985 exhibition game in Italy. Wearing an orange and black jersey, Jordan's dunk was so strong that it shattered the glass backboard— a moment that will never be forgotten in sports history.

The Air Jordan 1 High OG 'Shattered Backboard' is designed with a bright and vivid color combination of orange, black, and white, paying homage to that special game. The shoe's upper features a bold orange base, accented with black overlays and crisp white details, mirroring the colors found on Michael Jordan's jersey. Standard Air Jordan 1 detailing remains true on this release, with the iconic Nike Air branding on the tongue and the Wings logo on the ankle.
