The original Air Jordan embodied number 23’s “Black Cat” alter-ego. It brought unique colors and materials to the court, along with a unique hologram reminiscent of a Black Cat’s glowing eyes. In 2005, that contrasting look of black and green would come to life in new form with the “Altitude” Nike GS Air Jordan 1 High OG Heritage 22.5cm.
