From iconic colourways to mythical collaborations (like the Patta x Nike Air Max 1), the sneaker game has been blessed with an unbelievable amount of restocks lately. But just when you thought things were slowing down a bit, reports are now suggesting that the legendary Air Jordan 1 High OG “Shattered Backboard” is also set to make a comeback. Originally launched back in 2015, not only will this re-release celebrate its 10th anniversary, it’ll also be dropping just in time to celebrate the 40th birthday of Jordan Brand.
The “Shattered Backboard” nickname commemorates an unforgettable moment in 1985 when Michael Jordan, during an exhibition game in Italy, shattered a glass backboard while sporting the orange and black colours of the local team. Not only did this incident etch itself into basketball lore, it also inspired one of the most sought-after sneakers in the entire Air Jordan 1 line.
The 2025 edition promises to stay true to its roots, featuring the same vibrant “Starfish,” “Black,” and “Sail” colour palette that fans adore. The upper is crafted from premium leather, and the signature Nike Swoosh and Air Jordan wings logo are prominently displayed, ensuring the shoe’s classic appeal remains intact.
If you took a L on the original Air Jordan 1 High OG “Shattered Backboard” drop, you need to listen up. Expected to hit shelves in February 2025, make sure to keep it locked at Captain Creps for your best chance to secure your size!
