Jordan Brand is revisiting its popular "Shattered Backboard" theme for 2019. According to @soleheatonfeet on Twitter, a third edition of the Air Jordan 1 colorway is slated for Fall/Winter of next year.

No official images have surfaced of the pair up to this point, but a rendering provided by @houseofheat on Instagram shows that fans can anticipate a "Bred"-esque color blocking. A black leather upper will be accented with orange hits on the toe box, heel, Swoosh, and "Nike Air" logo on the tongue. It will sit atop a cream-colored midsole and orange outsole.

The "Shattered Backboard" color scheme originates from Michael Jordan shattering the backboard with a dunk during a 1985 Nike exhibition game in Italy. His jerseys matched the colors used on the shoe.

UPDATE (10/19): Check out an official look at the "Shattered Backboard 3.0" Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG that's dropping on Oct. 26 for $160.
