Introducing the Jordan 1 Retro Reverse Shattered Backboard

The Reverse Shattered Backboard Air Jordan 1 Retro, often referred to as the Shattered Backboard 2.0, offers a fresh take on the iconic Jordan sneaker. The lore surrounding this colorway originates from Michael Jordan’s famous 1985 Nike exhibition game, during which he shattered a backboard with one of his legendary dunks. In an interesting twist, Jordan played for both teams at the event, making this Reverse Shattered Backboard variant particularly meaningful. The dunk occurred while wearing black and orange jerseys; however, the opposite team donned white-based uniforms, inspiring this colorway rooted in MJ's memorable Italy excursion. Officially, the colorway is Sail/Starfish-Black, which inversely mirrors the Black/Starfish-Sail design launched in June 2015.

A Celebration of Iconic Moments

Both color schemes honor a pivotal moment from Jordan's rookie era, a feat immortalized on YouTube. This unforgettable shattered backboard event is destined to be cherished for generations.
