Air Jordan 1 Shattered Backboard 3.0 vs Air Jordan 1 Patent

While patent leather was originally used on the Air Jordan 11, Jordan Brand started using the material on Michael Jordan’s first signature shoe, the Air Jordan 1.

Released in October 2019, the Air Jordan 1 “Shattered Backboard 3.0” revisits a popular colorway inspired by a Michael Jordan backboard-breaking dunk that took place during a 1985 Nike exhibition game. This third edition of the shoe features a crinkled, glossy patent leather upper that alludes to the hoop’s broken glass.

Released in 2021, the Air Jordan 1 “Patent Bred” gives the iconic “Bred” colorway a glossy makeover. It features a full patent leather build with its signature Black and Red upper atop a White midsole and Red rubber outsole.
