Jordan Brand Launches T-Shirt Collection Inspired by Michael Jordan’s “Shattered Backboard” Dunk

---

A tribute to basketball history

Jordan Brand has unveiled a fresh collection of t-shirts celebrating one of basketball’s most legendary moments — Michael Jordan’s “Shattered Backboard” dunk during a 1985 exhibition game in Italy. The powerful slam, which broke the glass backboard, has since become a cornerstone of basketball and sneaker culture.

Designs rooted in the iconic colorway

The new tees draw inspiration from the black, white, and orange palette of the original Air Jordan 1 “Shattered Backboard.” Each shirt features a striking graphic of Jordan midair just seconds before the backboard shattered. Available in black, white, and orange variations, the shirts incorporate sharp detailing of the year and event, while accents highlight the bold color scheme. Crafted in heavyweight cotton, the collection balances heritage with modern streetwear appeal.

From sneakers to apparel legacy

The “Shattered Backboard” story first gained renewed fame with the 2015 release of the Air Jordan 1 “Shattered Backboard,” one of the most coveted sneakers of the past decade. Now, fans can own a wearable extension of that legacy through this new t-shirt collection, bringing the iconic dunk from sneakers to everyday style.

Availability and pricing

The collection is available now on Nike’s official site and select retailers, with each t-shirt priced at $45 USD. For collectors, hoop fans, and style enthusiasts alike, these tees offer an accessible piece of Jordan Brand history.
