If you’ve been eagerly anticipating the release of the Air Jordan 3 “Black Cat,” your patience is about to be rewarded. This highly anticipated sneaker was originally slated for this year’s Holiday lineup. It’s definitely a case of better late than never for this stunning AJ3 colourway inspired by Michael Jordan’s nickname. 

A Closer Look At The Design

While many of MJ’s signature silhouettes have donned the popular all-black colourway, the Air Jordan 3s stand out as particularly desirable among fans. 

The AJ3 first adopted this sleek palette back in 2007, and fans have been yearning for a retro release ever since. Come 2025, a dream becomes reality with this beauty, making a comeback in its true OG form. 

You can expect the same dark nubuck upper, patent leather mudguard, and elephant print detailing that established these sneakers as an instant classic seventeen years ago. 

While official images of the upcoming pair haven’t been unveiled yet, take a look at the 2007 versions shown below to refresh your memory.

Air Jordan 3 “Black Cat” Release Details

These striking all-black sneakers will be released on January 25, 2025. Sneakerheads can secure a pair through Nike.com and select Jordan Brand retailers in full family sizing. Prices start at $200 USD for men’s sizes, $150 for grade school sizes, $90 for preschool sizes, and $75 for toddlers. 

And there’s even more in store for Jordan fans. Classics like the Air Jordan 4 OG “White Cement”, Air Jordan 8 “Aqua”, and Air Jordan 11 Low “Bred” are all anticipated to return next year. To stay in the loop on these releases and more, keep following us here at Sneaker Fortress for further sneaker drops and reviews.
