About The Air Jordan 1 “Shattered Backboard 3.0” Release
Many sneakerheads could hardly contain their excitement when early mockup images of the alleged “Shattered Backboard 3.0s” surfaced months ago. Fast-forward to now, and much of that early excitement has turned to disappointment, as the actual shoes differ vastly from what was initially expected.
Instead of the traditional leather that the original “Shattered Backboard” 1.0 and 2.0s used, the 3rd iteration features a crinkled, patent leather upper that is controversial to say the least.
Love ‘em or hate ‘em, the “Shattered Backboard 3.0s” are definitely unique and diverge from the “norm” in a bold way. Regardless of what side of the fence you may be on, we still expect the sneakers to sell-out on release day or shortly thereafter.
While official stock numbers are unknown, based on the shoe’s semi-limited availability through major retailers, these might not be as easy to get as other Jordan 1 releases.
If you’re interested in getting your hands on a pair, check out more release details are listed below.

The Best Ways To Cop The “Shattered Backboard 3.0”
Nike SNKRS | iOS & Android
The release page for the Air Jordan 1 “Shattered Backboard 3.0s” has loaded up on the SNKRS app and the shoes will be available for purchase at the standard time of 10am (EST) on October 26, 2019.
Don’t be fooled by people calling these sneakers “trash”, these will most definitely sell out, so don’t sleep in too late on release day if you’re trying to cop.
Don’t have the app? You can download it ahead of time to help streamline the buying process on release day. Links to both the Android and iOS apps are below.
Foot Locker, Footaction, Champs
Since Foot Locker also owns Footaction, Eastbay, and Champs, so we’ll combine all of their info in this section as well.
How To Cop Online
The shoes will become available online at 10am (EST) across all the sites, however, there will be a queue that starts minutes before the release. In order to get a good place in line, we suggest you hop on the sites at least 10 minutes before the release.
As noted earlier, this is a shoe that’s we see selling out, so you may have issues getting the shoes in your cart. If you keep getting errors, just keep spamming the “add to cart” button by pressing it until something happens.
How To Cop In-Store
Foot Locker, Footaction, & Champs all have the sneakers loaded onto the Launch Locator within their respective apps. This means potential buyers will have to go through the reservation process to cop the sneakers.

The last day to sign-up/edit reservations will be on Thursday, October 24, 2019.
Pro Tip: If you aren’t fortunate enough to reserve the sneakers, you may have the change to cop “unclaimed pairs” in-store, after 6pm on release day.
Stores generally release any extra pairs on a first-come, first-served basis. Lines for these shoes usually form well before 6pm, so keep that in mind if you’re looking to go this route.
Hibbett | City Gear
Hibbett is the retailer that not everyone knows about, but should. They’ve been around since 1945 and offer most sneakers via raffles and regular online purchase.
How To Cop Online
The “Shatterd Backboard 3.0s are being raffled off through the Hibbet app instead of dropping online. The Hibbett raffle process works similarly to Foot Locker’s reservation process and can only be entered after creating an account and downloading the app. The last day to enter their raffle will be on (10/25) at 11am local time.
Winners will be notified by 6pm on (10/25) and must pickup shoes by 11am on (11/26).
