The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG 'Shattered Backboard' 2025 revisits one of the most celebrated non-OG colorways in Jordan Brand history — drawing inspiration from the infamous 1985 exhibition game in Italy where Michael Jordan shattered a backboard with a dunk.

This 2025 edition stays rooted in the original’s DNA while refining the material execution. The upper returns in a premium leather build, with a balanced tri-color scheme: crisp white underlays, bold Starfish orange overlays, and deep black on the Swoosh, collar, and laces. The high-contrast blocking echoes the original 2015 release rather than later iterations, delivering a more faithful homage to the first drop.

Classic Nike Air branding on the tongue, a black Wings logo stamped at the ankle, and a sail-colored midsole round out the OG tooling. It’s a return to form — not a reimagining, but a reaffirmation of what made the 'Shattered Backboard' one of the most revered AJ1 colorways of the modern era.
