Halloween-themed kicks are hardly a new tradition, but 2024’s slate of spooky sneakers is proving to be one of the best tricks in recent years. Ja Morant’s Nike Ja 2 “Halloween” has hoopers abuzz, while the Kobe 5 “X-Ray” is bringing a unique spin on the Kobe Protro franchise. However, based on sheer public response, both seem to pale in comparison to the Air Jordan 1 Low “Black Cat”, although this latest update will heavily restrict who gets to dress up in these come end of October.
This latest set of images reveal the Black Cat Halloween Jordans in clearest view thus far, showing off the variety of details that match the eerie feline characteristics. Hairy shoe-laces, fuzzy suede, and ghoulish glow-in-the-dark graphics on the upper, and a matching outsole make these one of the most detailed Halloween sneakers since the “Mummy” SB Dunks from 2021. The big catch here is that the eyes on the tongue light up at the touch of a button; they were previously believed to be glow-in-the-dark.
Now, we are gathering that this Air Jordan 1 Low will be a kids-exclusive release, meaning the largest size available will likely be 7Y. This may be disappointing to some, but the shoes are certainly GS coded.
Official release date information and pricing is not yet known, so stay tuned for updates as we learn more.
