The Foamposite 1 makes a strong return at the end of the year with one of the most beloved stories in Nike and Jordan’s history. The colorway is inspired by Michael Jordan’s famous dunk that broke the backboard during an exhibition match in Trieste, Italy, following his rookie season with the Chicago Bulls. The upper features a mosaic of broken glass patterns, and comes with orange laces to truly embrace the orange, black and white combo that has made the “Shattered Backboard” saga so adored.
