Product Description
While it wasn’t quite as well-known as his other nicknames like "MJ" and "Air Jordan," some NBA players used to refer to Michael Jordan by the nickname, "Black Cat," during his playing days. This nickname helped inspire the Air Jordan 4 Retro Black Cat (2006).
This particular Air Jordan 4 had a completely black nubuck upper. It also had all-black mesh quarter panels and heel tabs along with blacked-out wings on the sides of the shoes. The only thing that saved these AJ4s from being entirely black are the grey Jumpman logos on the tongue tags. This color made these logos stand out a little more than they might otherwise.
Still, the best part about these sneakers in our opinion is the back story behind them. There is a chance that many people may not have known that MJ went by "Black Cat" once upon a time if not for these AJ4s. The Air Jordan 4 Retro Black Cat was released on May 20, 2006, and it originally retailed for $115.
