Sneaker collecting has its own version of an archival reissue, and this is it. Michael Jordan's fifth signature shoe is finally getting its all-black "Black Cat" colorway, a version that was shelved years ago and never made it to shelves. For a sneaker world that treats certain colorways the way fashion houses treat their own archives, this one has been unfinished business for a long time. Its return isn't just a new release, it's a correction to the record.
