The Air Jordan 1 Mid Shattered Backboard is the mid-top version of the enormously popular Shattered Backboard colorway originally seen on the Jordan 1 High. The Air Jordan 1 Mid Shattered Backboard colorway remains one of the most sought-after non-OG designs of the Air Jordan 1. Trimmed down ever so slightly, the Air Jordan 1 Mid “Shattered Backboard” features many of the same styling cues of the high-top silhouette. Covering the upper is a white leather base with black nubuck overlays on the toe, forefoot and eyelets. An eye-grabbing Starfish shade of orange leather is the highlight here and is featured on the collar, heel, and Swoosh. A black nylon tongue with Jumpman branding in Starfish and a white rubber midsole with a black outsole completes the look.
During a special exhibition game in 1985, Michael Jordan dunked a basketball powerful enough to shatter the backboard.
In honor of the event, Nike’s Jordan Brand crafted a special edition of the classic Air Jordan 1 silhouette. The sneaker features a limited edition Black/White-Starfish colorway. The “Air Jordan” insignia displays itself prominently on the upper sides of the shoe, and an orange Swoosh logo stands out in stark contrast to the white parts of the AJ1 Mid Shattered Backboard. To top things off, a shattered backboard graphic adorns the insole of the silhouette.
