Jordan 3 Retro Black Cat

The Jordan 3 Retro Black Cat is the tonal black 3, with black elephant print on black tumbled leather and no contrast anywhere. Buy it if you want the most understated Jordan 3 in the line, in small sizing.

The 3 was Tinker Hatfield's 1988 design and the first Jordan to carry the Jumpman. Tumbled leather upper, elephant print overlays at the toe and heel, visible Air unit in the heel and a polyurethane midsole. Blacking out the whole shoe means the elephant print reads as texture rather than pattern, which is why this colourway looks so different from the rest of the model.

This suits people who want a Jordan 3 that goes with everything and does not announce itself. Tonal black also hides scuffing and creasing better than any other 3 colourway.

We carry Black Cat in two listings covering different size bands. This one holds the small sizes at $280. The large-size listing runs $380.

Sizes 5 and 6.5, one pair each. Deadstock, authenticated in hand at our Dallas location. Jordan 3s fit true to size.
