A Puppets' History of the AJ1 'Shattered Backboard' | Jordan Brand

In the summer of ’85, Michael Jordan went to Italy and shattered the basketball universe. It was supposed to be a friendly exhibition, but ‘friendly’ and ‘exhibition’ were not in MJ’s vocabulary. Late in the game, he threw down a dunk so powerful it broke the backboard and rained glass over his opponents. That legendary moment inspired the original Air Jordan 1 ‘Shattered Backboard’ in 2015 and now we’re running it back. Ahead of the shoe's 2025 re-release, the iconic story returns in a whole new way at Teatro di Jordan, the flyest puppet theater around. #jordanbrand #aj1low The official home of Jordan on YouTube, subscribe here: https://www.youtube.com/user/jumpman23?sub_confirmation=1 To shop, visit: https://www.nike.com/jordan Download the Nike app: https://smart.link/dk6qrowk5nfb8 Download the SNKRS app: https://j.mp/2Z6Lr3V Follow Jordan on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jumpman23 Follow Jordan on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jumpman23
