The Nike Air Jordan 6 Retro Black Cat – are you feline lucky?

The NIKE AIR JORDAN 6 RETRO BLACK CAT is about to drop, and it’s purr-fect (sorry).

Taking its moniker from Michael Jordan’s childhood nickname, the new release is a premium take on the 1991 basketball classic. The upper comes in black leather and neoprene, with the different materials and perforated panels providing visual contrast despite the monochrome colouring. Even the Jumpman branding at the heel is blacked out, leaving only the jagged white accents of the sole unit to break up the darkness. Inspired by the sleek lines of sports cars, the Jordan 6 was a revolutionary design with its neoprene bootie and aggressive heel pull – and it works particularly well in this stealthy new colourway.

Legend has it that a black cat crossing your path heralds bad luck. An old wives’ tale maybe, but you’re certainly going to need some good fortune to get your hands on a pair of these beauties. The NIKE AIR JORDAN 6 RETRO BLACK CAT is set to drop on 30 DECEMBER with NIKE and select retailers.
