The Major League Baseball postseason is officially here. Game 162 concluded and there was plenty of last-minute action that shook up the standings (sorry Mets fans). Ahead of the playoffs beginning, Jordan Brand is showing out on the diamond with a new pair of Shattered Backboard-inspired cleats, but unfortunately for sneakerheads and Orioles and Giants fans, neither of the league’s teams with black and orange jerseys made the playoffs.
Staying in line with its inspiration, the Air Jordan 1 Retro MCS Shattered Backboard keeps the same colorblocking as the OG colorway, with a black toe panel, Swoosh, and tongue, orange toe box and heel, and white sidewalls and midsole finished with even more orange on the outsole. Instead of a traditional Jordan 1 outsole, though, the MCS adds grass and dirt-ready baseball spikes.
