Let’s be honest, this shoe needs VERY little introduction. Without getting ahead of ourselves, the original Jordan 1 SHATTERED BACKBOARD colourway is one of very few non-OG palettes to grace this silhouette without attracting unwanted backlash.
If we were to touch upon the story behind this pair, however briefly, the colours are drawn from a uniform worn by MJ in a 1986 Italian exhibition game when -- you guessed it -- he SHATTERED the BACKBOARD whilst wearing his first signature shoe. End of story.
Now for a splash of exciting news; some of you may or may not know about a Morprime Industries sticker pack launching imminently over on our webspace. You heard correctly -- stickers! What makes these a little bit special, is the HIGHLY limited AJ1 SBB holographic iteration to be popped in a few random orders -- remember how it felt packing a holo-Charizard? Well, we’re hoping to take you all on a trip down memory lane; the lucky few anyway.
EYES PEELED! In the meantime, what’re your top three non-OG Jordan 1 colourways?
