Whilst we still have dozens of Jordan releases on the way for 2020, leaks for 2021’s schedule continue to materialize. The latest to drop is yet another Air Jordan 1 Low OG — now the third locked in for release next year. OG fans will welcome back Nike Air branding on the tongues, streamlined Swooshes, and rear builds that stay true to the original design. But this release is a perfect example of where old meets new, combining the original design with a modern classic colorway for a Shattered Backboard Air Jordan 1 Low OG release that’s sure to become an instant classic.
What promises to be one of the most coveted low-top Air Jordans is the "Shattered Backboard," which is expected to arrive this summer. While mockups and teasers of the shoe have been making their rounds across the internet, this week official product images have emerged, along with rumored launch information.
The "Shattered Backboard" Air Jordan 1 has only been around since 2015, yet it's already become one of the most sought-after Jordan Brand colorways ever. The orange, black, and white scheme draws inspiration from Michael Jordan's backboard-shattering dunk in a 1985 exhibition game in Italy, and more specifically, the orange jersey he was wearing during the contest.
Now, the classic look is coming to the Air Jordan 1 Low, complete with the black Swoosh logo, Nike Air branding, and the ball and wings motif, too. Although official photos have made their way online, Nike has yet to share release information for the anticipated pair. However, reports that the "Shattered Backboard" AJ1 Lows will arrive on August 26.
What We’re Saying: There's no disputing the legendary status of the Air Jordan 1, although such designation generally — without mention — refers to the high-top version. Still, the Air Jordan 1 Low stands tall in its own right (see what we did there?), especially in recent months with collaborations as well as new schemes and OG AJ1 colorways alike.
Always stay tuned to our website for more updates about this incoming pair.
