Back in 2015, Jordan Brand released one of the greatest Air Jordan 1 in the ‘Shattered Backboard’ colorway which was inspired by a jersey worn by Michael Jordan in a charity game in Italy. The high-quality leather used on the pair is claimed to be the reason why it is highly sought after since other Air Jordan 1’s were only built using lower quality leather. This year, Jordan Brand revives this new-age classic using the exact color-blocking and the colorway’s glorified high-quality tumbled leather, with an attractive satin finish around the toe-box, heel area and ankle collar of the silhouette. Other details that have been modified is the embroidered Swoosh logo on the side panels and a semi-translucent outsole which previously was not present on the Air Jordan 1 ‘Shattered Backboard’.
Nike will be releasing this pair 5th May, on Nike at 9am. Fortunate for the ladies as this is a women’s release, however, Jordan Brand did mention that sizes will go all the way up to size 12 women’s (equivalent to men’s 10.5). Will you be lacing up in these, HypeBaes?
