Look elsewhere. This is a lifestyle icon, first and foremost. On feet, this "Shattered Backboard" colorway is even more of a statement. That bright orange really draws the eye in person & on camera. It's loud, but in the best way possible. I personally love how versatile it is for styling - you can go with simple jeans or really make it the centerpiece of a fit. The craftsmanship on this specific release just makes the whole shoe feel special. Who is this for? Sneakerheads who appreciate OG stories & premium materials.
