According to the account, this women’s exclusive look is inspired by luxury Birkin handbags as the shoe features a premium leather construction on the upper. The color scheme itself references the uniforms that MJ wore during a backboard-shattering dunk at a 1985 exhibition game in Italy and this pair is the latest drop for the brand’s ongoing “Shattered Backboard” series.

“Bring your next-level game and let it rain. Inspired by the ’85 kit His Airness wore during an exhibition tour in Italy (and his awe-inspiring, glass-shattering dunk), these shoes pair Italian couture with MJ’s undeniable style. Super-luxe, semi-matt faux leather and embossed leather make the world your runway while large-gauge stitching boosts your off-court power. Finishing it off, the plush, fleece-lined collar keeps you flying first class,” Jordan Brand wrote for the SNKRS product description of the shoe.

The Air Jordan 1 High Women’s “Starfish” is available at Nike.com in Finland at the time of writing and according to @zSneakerheadz on Instagram, the style will be released in the States on Oct. 27 for $180.
