The long-awaited return of the Air Jordan 3 “Black Cat,” a sneaker inspired by Michael Jordan’s renowned nickname, is here at last. It’s by time, as it’s been a remarkable eighteen years since its first debut in 2007.

A Closer Look At The Design
As we gear up for the first retro release of the Air Jordan 3 “Black Cat” in 2025, fans can expect this striking colourway to maintain its hallmark all-black upper with patent leather touches on the mudguard and refined, dark elephant print details on the toe and heel. The distinctive elephant print also extends onto the laces, adding a playful yet subtle element to the overall design.
A blacked-out sole unit and a visible Air unit in the heel complete the look, delivering the perfect finishing touch.
What We Like About The Sneakers
There’s something undeniably appealing about an all-black sneaker, particularly one with plush nubuck uppers. However, the AJ3 “Black Cat” stands out even more with its unique elephant print details and shiny patent leather mudguard. As we eagerly await the official images, we’re hopeful for a retro release that truly honours the original, and we’re sure it will be worth the wait.
Air Jordan 3 “Black Cat” Release Details
Set to release on January 25, 2025, these sophisticated all-black sneakers will be available for purchase on Nike.com and at select Jordan Brand retailers worldwide. They’ll come in full family sizing, with prices starting at $200 USD for men’s sizes, $150 for grade school, $90 for preschool, and $75 for toddlers.
