Jordan 3 Retro Black Cat

JORDAN 3 RETRO

Although many would complain about the quality of releases in the mid-to-late 2000s, the 2007 Air Jordan 3 “Black Cat” is one that many collectors would pick up again given the chance. Inspired by Michael Jordan’s nickname, the Black Cat 3 was a panther-like colorway of the timeless Air Jordan sneaker. MJ’s nature to attack opponents with relentlessness earned him the nickname “Black Cat” which was stitched under the heel tab of this blacked-out color. Although the official color was Black/Dark Charcoal-Black, nicknames for this AJ3 started out as “Blackout 3s” and “Triple Black” Jordan 3s on message boards like ISS and NikeTalk. Although the colors were basically all the same, the different materials and finishes made this colorway so much better than just an all-black Jordan 3. A nubuck material was used on the upper and then accentuated with a patent leather strap between the edge of the toe and elephant print heel. While the originals had Nike Air in the heel, this Air Jordan 3 featured the Jumpman logo with Air written below it, which at the time wasn’t much of a concern for most sneakerheads. The BC3 also introduced elephant print laces to the general consumer. The Air Jordan 3 “Black Cat” may look like a staple sneaker design, but that in itself is beautiful, when talking about Tinker Hatfield’s classic Jordan 3 design. The BC3 also introduced elephant print laces to the general consumer. The Air Jordan 3 “Black Cat” may look like a staple sneaker design, but that in itself is beautiful, when talking about Tinker Hatfield’s classic Jordan 3 design. The BC3 also introduced elephant print laces to the general consumer. The Air Jordan 3 “Black Cat” may look like a staple sneaker design, but that in itself is beautiful, when talking about Tinker Hatfield’s classic Jordan 3 design.
