The Air Jordan 3 Retro “Black Cat” Gets Another Life

Originally released in 2007, the “Black Cat” colorway of the Air Jordan 3 has been celebrated for its sleek, stealthy aesthetic and bold design details. Now, over a decade later, this timeless take is ready to step back into the spotlight.

The sneaker’s upper is draped in premium black nubuck, offering a rich, textured finish. Complementing the upper are the dark grey elephant-print overlays, which add a subtle yet striking layer of detail to the toes and heels. These overlays have long been a hallmark of the Air Jordan 3, but on the “Black Cat,” they take on a muted tone that seamlessly integrates into the overall design.

One of the standout features of this iteration is the black patent leather mudguard. This glossy accent adds a touch of shine to the otherwise matte design. Even the laces get a luxurious upgrade with an elephant-print pattern, tying the design together in a way that’s both cohesive and creative.

Down below, black foam midsoles house visible Air units in the heels, while matching rubber outsoles ensure durability and grip, making this sneaker as functional as it is stylish.

Will you be looking to grab a pair? The Air Jordan 3 Retro “Black Cat” will be available on Saturday, January 11th, in-store and online in full-family sizing.
