Michael Jordan famously shattered a backboard while dunking during an exhibition game in Italy in 1985, leading to a series of colorways modeled after the jersey he was wearing at the time. The Air Jordan 31 ‘Shattered Backboard’ takes on that black, Sail and Starfish theme, emerging in a glitch gradient throughout its Flyweave upper. The FlightSpeed midsole is finished mostly in black, with a touch of Starfish at the heel, while a recycled gum outsole provides traction.
