Who doesn’t love an OG colourway on the Air Jordan range? It’s not that the contemporary releases don’t create their own hype, but there’s something about the iconic silhouettes. They take us right back to the old school where the sneaker game was simple. Forget your Primeknit’s, Flyknit’s, mesh crafted uppers and cored out midsole’s; this was a time of rugged durability through premium crafted leather. The Jordan 1 Reverse Shattered Backboard brings that heritage alive.
Of course, ‘Shattered Backboard’ is a basketball term referring to those angry dunks which result in smashing the glass of the backboard. The unusual name of the shoe matches the unique colour combination utilised on the upper.
A dark shade of orange, almost mustard, manages to dominate throughout. It’s complimented by white leather overlays and a large black Swoosh to the sidewall. Darker accents also make an appearance to the rear and a set of black laces are included. To complete the look, original MJ branding features to the sidewall. It’s another icon returned from the archives and we’re hyped for the release.
Thankfully, we won’t have to wait long. The Jordan 1 Reverse Shattered Backboard is launching on Saturday 1st October via the retailers listed. Keep checking our social pages for more updates.
