It’s no secret that women love shoes, but what many seem not to understand is that doesn’t just mean stilettos and boots. Ladies love sneakers, too. As a recovering (read: currently broke) sneakerhead with an affinity for Air Jordans, the absolute worst time I’ve had in the store is trying to find a pair of J’s in some color that does not involve pink, and that’s also in my size.
Today, though, I am ecstatic to announce that the sneakerhead goddesses have smiled upon us! Shattering the proverbial glass ceiling of fresh kicks, Jordan Brand is set to bring back its Air Jordan I Shattered Backboard, this time as the Air Jordan I Satin Shattered Backboard in women’s sizing using the same tumbled Sail leather on the mid-panel, but now matched with new satin blocking and a translucent outsole in all-new articulations of the Air Jordan I and Air Force 1.
The kicks will come in three colorways:
A tonal Cinder Orange…
…the Air Jordan I Rebel in Chicago Red/Black/White…
…and the all new Top 3 colorway that blends three iconic colorways: Chicago, Bred and Royal…
The Air Jordan I Satin Shattered Backboard releases on May 5 and the Air Jordan I Rebel Chicago and Top 3 release on May 19 on Jordan.com/women. No word yet on exactly how much the shoes will cost, but from the looks of it, they’re already worth me stretching my credit limit for.
