Here are detailed shots of upcoming the Nike Air Jordan IV retro shoe, dubbed after Michael Jordan, The Black Cat. The shoe is set to release in the begining of May. I really like the AJIV, but for me this colorway is uninspired. If you’re planing on getting these, red laces is a must.
The all white colorway (with chrome accents) will be released at the same date.
