The “Black Cat” moniker might not be the most popular nickname one would refer the great Michael Jordan to, but nonetheless it’s one that has translated well into the Air Jordan series. According to @zsneakerheadz and @sneakerfiles, the Nike Air Jordan 3 “Black Cat” is set to return next year.

First dropping all the way back in 2007, the AJ3 “Black Cat” is one of the most desired colorways in the silhouette, and for good reason. It embodies MJ’s stealthy yet agile playstyle, paying homage to his alpha predatory vibes back in the day.

It remains to be seen if any other design cues will be changed. Nonetheless, it’s definitely one to take note of come 2024 if you’re an avid fan of sneakers and basketball. For now, take a walk down memory lane and check out the 2007 Nike Air Jordan 3 “Black Cat” via the top slider above.
