It’s Backboard SZN.
Y’all over the Shattered Backboard colorways yet? — Nah, me either. Which is what makes this new-to-surface “Shattered Backboard” Blazer Mid ’77 so enticing.
While the Blazer has absolutely no connection to Mike’s backboard-shattering efforts in that Italian exhibition game circa 1985, the black, orange and sail colorway — based off MJ’s exhibition game uniform — has become synonymous with the name ever since the Air Jordan 1 dropped back in June of 2015. This pair continues the trend, sporting an all-black suede upper, paired with matching nylon exposed-foam tongues, tumbled leather Swooshed and heel panels, and sail soul units and tongue labels.
With pairs of the patent leather Air Jordan 1 “Shattered Backboard” arriving this October, is this Blazer release a mere coincidence? No. Absolutely not. So, if you love the SBB vibes, you can pick up your pair right now, directly from Caliroots and 43einhalb for 100 Euros.
