Jordan 1 Low Shattered Backboard Alternate

Honouring one of the most iconic moments in sneaker culture, the Air Jordan 1 Low “Shattered Backboard” returns in 2025 with refined design and unmistakable heritage. The story behind the “Shattered Backboard” begins with Michael Jordan’s explosive dunk in 1985 during an exhibition game in Italy, a dunk so powerful it shattered the glass and forever changed the silhouette’s legacy. 

This low-top iteration remains true to the narrative with premium tumbled leather in a striking palette of black overlays, sail underlays and starfish orange accents, the colours echoing the jersey Jordan wore during that moment of impact. Hidden details like shattered-glass insole graphics and special edition packaging bring the theme full circle. 

Designed for more than just looks, the construction remains solid with a supportive mid-sole, durable leather upper, and an updated mold that aligns with Jordan Brand’s modern fit standards. The colourway achieves balance by blending bold storytelling with everyday wearability, making the AJ1 Low “Shattered Backboard” 2025 both a collectible for fans and a premium option for lifestyle rotation.
