Air Jordan 1 High OG 'Shattered Backboard' Men's Sneaker (2025)

The Moment That Defined a Legend.

In 1985, Michael Jordan shattered a backboard during an exhibition game in Trieste, Italy. The moment was electric — and the colorway he wore that day became one of the most celebrated in sneaker history. The Air Jordan 1 High OG 'Shattered Backboard' returns in 2025, bringing back the burnt orange, black, and sail combination that has captivated collectors since its first retro release. This is not just a shoe. It's a piece of basketball mythology.
