The Air Jordan 1 is an iconic sneaker with a rich, decades-long history, making it one of the most recognizable silhouettes in the world. In 2025, the shoe celebrates its 40th anniversary, and Jordan Brand has some special releases planned, including the highly anticipated return of the 2015 “Shattered Backboard” colorway.
The Air Jordan 1 experienced a resurgence in the mid-2010s, with limited releases and carefully curated colorways that celebrated the shoe’s legacy and Michael Jordan’s remarkable career. One of the standout releases during this time was the “Shattered Backboard.” Released in 2015, the shoe featured a bold orange twist on the classic “Black Toe” design, inspired by the famous moment in 1985 when Michael Jordan shattered a backboard during an exhibition game. The colorway quickly became a fan favorite, sparking two more releases aimed at recapturing the original’s popularity.
As we approach the 40th anniversary of the Air Jordan 1, Jordan Brand has started teasing some exciting returns, including the “Shattered Backboard” alongside other classic colorways, such as the ’85 “Bred” version. While this colorway hasn’t been released in nearly a decade, it remains one of the most coveted AJ1 styles, often commanding a high price on the resale market.
