Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG ‘Shattered Backboard Away’

The Reverse Shattered Backboard Air Jordan 1 Retro, also known as the Shattered Backboard 2.0, follows up the first release with a new take on the classic Jordan shoe. The legend of the colorway comes from the fact that Michael Jordan shattered the backboard with one of his iconic slam dunks on a Nike exhibition tour back in 1985. Jordan actually played for both teams during the game, so the Reverse Shattered Backboard Jordan 1 colorway only makes sense. However, the backboard-breaking dunk came on the side that featured black and orange jerseys. The second team wore white-based jerseys, which is where this colorway gets tied into MJ’s now infamous Italy stop.
