FAQs

What is the story behind the 'Shattered Backboard' colorway?

The design commemorates Michael Jordan's iconic 1985 slam dunk during an exhibition tour in Italy that caused the glass backboard to shatter.

How do these shoes fit?

The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG typically fits true to size, though personal preference for a wider fit may suggest going up half a size.

Is the material real leather?

Yes, the Air Jordan 1 'Shattered Backboard Away' is constructed using high-quality leather materials.

Can I use these for basketball?

While originally designed for basketball, modern performance footwear offers superior technology; these are recommended primarily for lifestyle and fashion wear.

How should I clean the Starfish orange leather?

Use a slightly damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt and follow up with a high-quality leather conditioner to keep the material supple.

Troubleshooting

Creasing at the toe box

Use plastic or cedar shoe trees immediately after taking the shoes off to help the leather retain its shape.

Surface scuffs on Sail panels

Gently rub the affected area with a specialized, dry sneaker cleaning eraser.

Dirty outsoles

Use a soft-bristled brush and mild soap solution, ensuring you avoid getting moisture on the leather upper.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Iconic cultural significance linked to a legendary basketball moment
  • High-quality leather material ensures a premium feel
  • Versatile color palette that stands out in any collection
  • Timeless high-top design remains a staple in sneaker fashion

Cons

  • Leather surfaces are prone to creasing with heavy usage
  • Light-colored 'Sail' panels require frequent cleaning to avoid staining
  • Limited availability makes them a high-value collector's item

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Air Jordan 1 sneakers maintain their condition, focus on proper storage and cleaning. Always store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the Starfish orange panels over time. When cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth with a mild leather cleaner to wipe down the leather sections; avoid submerging the shoes in water. For the 'Sail' sections, use a specialized sneaker eraser to gently lift scuffs. Inserting shoe trees when the sneakers are not in use will help preserve the shape of the toe box and minimize deep creasing.
