Michael Jordan was known in his playing days as the Black Cat—NBA peers gave him the moniker because of how smooth, fierce, and agile he was on the court. It was also the inspiration for the Air Jordan 13, designed by Tinker Hatfield, as the sole unit of the shoe was made to resemble a cat’s paw. There was even an alternate Air Jordan 13 “Tinker” that has been labeled as the “Black Cat.”

But most sneaker enthusiasts know the “Black Cat” name from the all-black colorways that have been transferred over to many Air Jordans. It’s been put on the 13, which was an obvious choice, but more notably on the Air Jordan 3 and 4, which were contrasted by the “Pure Money” (all-white) versions of the shoes too. In recent times, the Air Jordan 4 “Black Cat” has become one of the most popular Air Jordans, shooting up in resale value years after its release.
