Air Jordan 31 Black Cat 5

This past weekend brought a number of updates to Jordan Brand’s 2017 release slate, and today we get a look at a brand new Air Jordan 31 colorway headed to retailers on March 10th, 2017. The Jumpman will round out their 2016 with a brand new Air Jordan 6 Black Cat colorway featuring a premium perforated leather construction with additional 3M reflective accents, and now the Air Jordan 31 Black Cat will follow suit in the new year.

The Air Jordan 31 is heavily influenced by the Air Jordan 1 as Swoosh branding returns on the Flyweave upper in a gradient, but here the Black and Anthracite base focuses more on the Jumpman branding. The overall silhouette shape resembles Mike’s first signature silhouette while a premium leather heel panel provides support while also allowing for a more lifestyle ready aesthetic than past Jumpman signature models. The Jordan 31 Black Cat benefits from premium leather heel tags with a unique panther logo embossed on the inner tag so there’s no doubt about the Black Cat nickname that accompanies this pair.
