The Air Jordan 5 "Black Cat" Releases Spring 2025

The Air Jordan 5 "Black Cat" will now be released in 2025.

This release is part of a lineage of all-black Air Jordans that have garnered acclaim over the years, including the Air Jordan 3 and Air Jordan 4; the former is expected to also be released in 2025.

The “Black Cat” moniker, inspired by one of Michael Jordan's many enduring nicknames, has been a recurring theme in Jordan Brand's offerings. These all-black sneakers are known for their sleek, stealthy aesthetic, and the Air Jordan 5 “Black Cat” is expected to continue this tradition.

Though first looks at the release are unavailable at this time, details shared by zSneakerheadz and Sneaker Files give us a glimpse into what could be another standout release of the year.

Arriving in Anthracite, Black, and Off Noir, the pair is expected to arrive in a tonal black build; though that's all the speculative mock-ups can go off.

It's important to note that the release holds an SE — Special Edition — title, so it's likely that we may see atypical textiles — or perhaps even a collaboration.

Stay tuned for first looks and further updates as we journey closer to the end of 2024.
