The sneaker has a nubuck upper, elephant print near the heel, and patent leather overlays. The white Jordan branding on the outsole pops against the dark color palette of the sneaker. The sneaker wouldn’t be complete without a solid black rubber sole with the iconic Air units in the heel.

The Air Jordan “Black Cat” is slated to be released on January 11, 2025. The sneakers for big kids will cost $149.99 - a steal for such a new take on a classic sneaker.

For him, it kept him connected to his roots. These light blue shorts have been an iconic part of Michael Jordan and his brand.
