Sneakerheads who appreciate history and bold design. If you want a centerpiece for your collection, this "air jordan 1" is a must-have. It's a conversation starter. The $170 USD retail was a fair price for what you get — if you can find it for close to that, jump on it. Who should "avoid" the Shattered Backboard 1s? If comfort is your #1 priority, skip these. They're not uncomfortable, but they're not Boost or React. Also, if you're not into loud colors, this isn't your daily driver. It's a statement piece. For the $170+ USD retail, you're paying for the history and the bold look above all else. On feet now, & let's be real—the air jordan 1 shattered backboard isn't a comfort king.

Compared to a newer Jordan model, like a 36? Totally different world. But for that classic high-top feel & look, it's perfect.
