As we start to approach the end of 2024, Jumpman’s most anticipated releases are beginning to trickle into the light. Transporting us all the way back to 2007 for the latest offering, the Air Jordan 3 ‘Black Cat’ is next-up to the podium as heat en route for 2025.
Before we dive into the details of this upcoming release, let’s get up to scratch on the heritage. Drawing inspiration from Michael Jordan’s famous feline nickname, the Black Cat debuted on the scene as an undeniably sleek take on the AJ3 silhouette. Meticulously stitched beneath the heel tab, the phrase ‘Black Cat’ could be seen proudly embedded beneath the heel tab, transforming what was originally titled ‘Black/Dark Charcoal’ into a long-standing legacy.
We can expect this retro hero to pay rightful homage to the OG through utilising premium textiles, such as a monochrome nubuck exterior. Reflecting the same refined, luxe feel as its ‘07 predecessor, this offering expresses a handful of opulent detailing, taking shape in patent leather panelling, a mirrored Jumpman logo on the tongue, and distinctive elephant print mudguard and laces.
The Air Jordan 3 ‘Black Cat’ (CT8532-001) is due to land JANUARY 2025, at NIKE & SELECT RETAILERS. While we wait for the drop, shop the latest from Jumpman via the banner below…
