The Air Jordan 1 'Shattered Backboard' is inspired

The Air Jordan 1 'Shattered Backboard' is inspired by a specific moment in Michael Jordan's career. It is August 25, 1985, and Nike's world tour stops at the Palasport in Trieste, for a match between the Stefanel Trieste (of the rookie coach Puglisi) and the Juve Caserta (of coach Tanjevic). By agreement, Michael should have played for both of them, but in the end, he played just for Trieste the whole game. He will close with 41 points in the final 113-112, but the cult episode is an MJ counterattack closed with a dunk so powerful it shattered the backboard. The shoes he was wearing at the time were sold at Christie's for $615K, but now another memorabilia from that historic evening will be auctioned off.
Sotheby's received the orange-black #23 jersey that Michael wore that night, 35 years ago, directly from the Stefanel family and will be auctioned until December 3. Triste's shirt jealously guarded by Carlo Stefanel and then passed to his heirs is signed by MJ and is one of the rare tangible testimonies of that match. The value of the shirt, according to initial estimates, is between 300K and 500K dollars. It will not be the only relic that Sotheby's will auction. Along with the shirt, there will also be two pairs of Air Jordans - the 1 in the 'Chicago' colorway and the 11 'Bred' - both with the words "Best Wishes, Michael Jordan".

Design graduate Natalie Kerres has developed Scale

Design graduate Natalie Kerres has developed Scaled, a flexible protective cast for athletes made of interlocking scales like those of a pangolin. The wearable could be customised for individual sportspeople looking to protect and support a vulnerable body part such as the spine or wrist.
The designer worked on a system that could apply this natural protective system to athletes, helping to rehabilitate joint injuries. Scaled could also prevent injuries in the first place, by acting as a shock absorber and preventing hyperextension.
As the patent is still being filed, Natalie Kerres has to keep details of the materials and technology under wraps.
