While it wasn’t quite as well-known as his other nicknames like 'MJ' and 'Air Jordan,' some NBA players referred to Michael Jordan as the 'Black Cat' during his playing days. This nickname inspired the Air Jordan 4 Retro Black Cat. This sneaker features a completely black nubuck upper, all-black mesh quarter panels, and heel tabs, with blacked-out wings on the sides. The only contrasting element is the grey Jumpman logos on the tongue tags, which make them stand out. The back story behind these sneakers is captivating; many might not have known about MJ's 'Black Cat' nickname if not for these shoes. The Air Jordan 4 Retro Black Cat was released on May 20, 2006, with an original retail price of $115.
