In 2015, the “Shattered Backboard” colorway successfully entered the pantheon of legendary sneaker colorways thanks to the limited release of the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG. Inspired by Jordan’s in-game stunt from an exhibition game in Trieste, Italy, the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Shattered Backboard” spawned a full family of releases while inspired the Nike, Inc. brand to pursue other styles in that manner.

This Spring/Summer 2023, the white, black, and orange come together once again, lending itself to the Air More Uptempo — the iconic sneaker often associated with Jordan’s teammate Scottie Pippen. Featuring a white leather base, this air More Uptempo features a black outsole and big AIR overlay, with bright orange touches on the surrounding accents.

This Air More Uptempo is hitting Nike.com and partnering retailers later this year; see the official images ahead for a closer look.
