Black Cat

One of Michael Jordan's nicknames was 'Black Cat.' His panther-like moves on the court earned him that cool name.

The shoe itself features a predominately all black color scheme. There are black suede uppers, black netting, and black midsoles. The black-on-black design makes for a striking and memorable shoe. The minimal design makes the shoe a classy casual shoe pick.

It is the perfect tribute to MJ, The Black Cat!

The History of the Air Jordan 4

The Air Jordan 4 was the first shoe in the franchise to go global. With a wide release outside of the United States.

The IV also took the Air Jordan brand to another level of fame and pop culture prominence. Spike Lee’s film Do The Right Thing showed the Air Jordan IV in a famous scene. This helped the shoe go beyond basketball.

The Design Of The 4

The Jordan 4 was the second straight shoe designed by Tinker Hatfield and was released in 1989. It was not a big change from the 3 in design. However, it added features that many fans love.

The Jumpman logo had the word “Flight” added right below it. It introduced nubuck materials to the sneaker world for the first time. There were mesh components for increased breathability and it had multiple areas that featured plastic.
