The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Shattered Backboard” Is Back

When it comes to sneaker colorways, few hold the same mythical status as the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Shattered Backboard.” Originally released in 2015, this highly sought-after sneaker pays tribute to one of Michael Jordan’s most unforgettable moments — an emphatic slam during an exhibition game in Italy that shattered the glass and left the crowd with jaws agape.

The “Shattered Backboard” Air Jordan 1 captures that fearless energy with a bold mix of black, white, and “Starfish” orange inspired by the jersey MJ wore during that legendary game. Crafted with premium tumbled leather like the original version, this Retro release offers a familiar soft, durable feel. From the padded ankle collar to the iconic Nike Air branding, every detail nods to the Air Jordan 1’s place in sneaker history.

This rerelease isn’t just a nod to the past — it’s a chance for everyone who missed out in 2015 to finally own a pair of sneaker history. Whether you’re styling them for the streets or keeping them on ice, this new “Shattered Backboard” Air Jordan 1 is sure to turn heads and incite envy.

Hoping to grab a pair this time around? The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Shattered Backboard” will be available on Saturday, August 23rd, both in-store and online at DTLR.com in full-family sizing.
