Jordan Brand Unveils The Ultra Fly Inspired by Mike’s “Black Cat” Nickname

Jordan Ultra Fly Jimmy Butler Shoes 02

Michael Jordan’s near-sociopathic obsession to win is what made him the G.O.A.T. Toward the twilight of his career, Mike redefined his game as an insanely efficient scorer through a seemingly limitless array of moves like his patented turn-around jumper. It earned him the nickname ‘Black Cat’ for what Nike says was “his ability to strike with purpose”. With that theme in mind, and with the help of another Chicago Bull in Jimmy Butler, Jordan Brand is proud to introduce the Jordan Ultra Fly just-in-time for the playoff push ahead. The silhouette features a unique Kurim overlay that forms a caged upper for a structure that’s not only supportive but ultra flexible to the movement of one’s foot. The design manages to take aesthetic cues from the spotted leopard. You can catch the Ultra Fly on Jimmy Buckets’ feet later this week as the Bulls continue to fight for a playoff seed in the Eastern Conference. The Jordan Ultra Fly will release at select Nike retailers on April 2nd for $125 USD. More official photos below.
