Air Jordan 3 “Black Cat” (CT8532-001)
The Air Jordan 3 “Black Cat” (CT8532-001) delivers a sleek, monochrome take on the iconic basketball silhouette. Its upper is dressed in premium jet-black suede, complemented by patent leather trimming around the mudguard for a subtle glossy contrast. Dark grey elephant print adds definition across the toe and heel, with a matching pattern extending over the laces. Shiny Jumpman branding appears on both the tongue and TPU heel piece, reinforcing the model’s signature character. Underfoot, a glossy black sole preserves the streamlined aesthetic, while a visible Air unit in the heel provides cushioning for everyday comfort. Designed for Jordan enthusiasts and fans of understated streetwear, this refined “Black Cat” colorway brings a bold, all-black finish to a legendary design.

CheapestAir Jordan 3 Retro “Play Your Way” (IO2075-100)$80
PriciestJordan ‘Air Jordan 3 Retro’ – White (CZ6433)$528We always compare the lowest price a colorway is currently on sale for somewhere: the cheapest entry point, usually for one specific size. The comparison stays within the same age group, because a kids size (TD/PS/GS) is priced differently than an adult size. Because the price varies per size, your size may come out a little higher. To keep the comparison fair we leave out the most and least expensive two percent — the resale outliers, and the price axis is logarithmic so both the cheap and the pricey end stay readable.

Hypescore × price
Hype doesn't have to be expensive. Each dot is a Air Jordan 3 colorway (of the 49 with a Hypescore): the further right, the more hype, and the higher a dot sits, the cheaper the sneaker. This sneaker is the photo with the red ring (Hypescore 78). Below the RRP they're called meltdowns: top-left the quiet price meltdowns (cheap, but little attention yet), top-right the radiating meltdowns — lots of hype and well below retail, the hottest deals. Above the RRP sit the grails: bottom-right the radiating grails (loved and pricey), and bottom-left the potential grails — pricey with little hype. That can simply be too expensive, but it's often where fresh drops and collabs appear that are too new to have gathered grail votes; their hype still has to build.
