The Air Jordan 4 “Spotlight” is another mostly black colorway, although it doesn’t use the same materials as the “Black Cat.” This women’s exclusive comes with regular black leather across the upper, along with reptile-textured leather around the toe and side wings. Silver eyelets and sections of the midsole are the only real breaks from the black.

There’s also a possible Michael Jackson connection. When the shoe was first mentioned over the summer, reports pointed to his 1992 “Jam” music video with Michael Jordan. The two played basketball and danced in the video, and the textured leather on this pair looks similar to Jackson’s loafers. However, nothing has been confirmed about that reference.

Most of the remaining details stay black, including the laces, mesh netting, lining, and outsole. The silver hardware stands out against the leather, while the textured panels are easier to notice in the closer photos. A black Jumpman finishes the heel.
