The ever-growing demand of Black Cat Jordans will come to a head later this year as Jordan Brand has a series of footwear releases inspired by Michael Jordan’s prowling alter ego. The Air Jordan 5 “Black Cat” will be arriving before 2024’s end, as will the Halloween-themed Air Jordan 1 Low with glow-in-the-dark eyes (the latter causing quite a stir in the sneaker-verse).

The Best “Black Cat” Jordans Ever Released

Luka Dončić shoes often adopt recognizable colorways from the Air Jordan archives, and that remains true on the Slovenian star’s latest signature; the Jordan Luka 3. While most colorways thus far have delivered high-octane racing aesthetics in lockstep with the model’s distinctive tooling, we’re getting a clear “White Cement” vibe from this latest upcoming pair.

Taking aim at the “gorpcore” niche and a growing market for slip-on footwear all the same, Nike has resurrected 2001’s ACG Rufus for the modern day. With three colorways released in 2024 thus far, it now appears Beaverton designers are getting a bit more experimental when it comes to the all-weather shoe’s material composition, ditching smooth fabric for hairy suede on this newly surfaced “Burgundy Crush” colorway.

There’s a common foe we all face in sneakerhead-dom: creases. Avoiding those pesky, seemingly permanent blemishes in our kicks is a battle that we all still fight regardless of the type of shoe we’re rocking. Indeed, there are a host of products on the market that can put up a fight, but Crease Beast is not only the most effective, but the most comfortable protector due to its non-plastic memory-foam based construction. The good news: the best got even better.

HOKA has become one of the fastest-growing shoe brands in recent years, largely thanks to its unwavering commitment to its core customer base. While the “gorpcore” trend has served HOKA well when it comes to streetwear-minded consumers, the French brand’s core focus has remained staunchly on running culture, reflected by both the prevalence of HOKA-sponsored run clubs and its various collaborative projects.

The Devin Booker signature shoe era officially began in late 2023 with a series of Player Exclusive colorways that left the collective jaw of hoop fans dropped to the floor. The well-documented run of PEs was kicked off last November when Devin officially revealed a first look at the “Moss Point” PE, a design inspired by a corner store he frequented during his High School days. Now, Nike has plans of releasing the shoes to the public — the first of a few celebrated PEs that will eventually hit retail.

If you’re arguing against the notion that Nike and Jordan Brand have lost their creative spark, look no further than the upcoming Air Jordan 1 Low “Halloween.” The shoes take the central theme behind “Black Cat” Jordan footwear and embellish it in every way possible, comprising a true neck-breaking design rich in eccentric, playful details.

Cats of Kansas City

Another week, another set of great cats who right now, at this very minute are hanging out at a Kansas City shelter (or a foster home), waiting for you to discover them. First up is Rain who is currently at Great Plains SPCA sound asleep, despite the barking dogs in the distance. She's a youngster, just one year old and you'll find that she's shy at first. Give her a little patience and some time to acclimate to her new environment, and you'll find that you'd be hard pressed to finer a sweeter, or cuter, cat.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, is still looking for a forever home for an adorable six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”
