If you?re not copping this weekend?s ?Stealth? 10 release, chances are you?re not feeling the bright contrast. Yes, all-black Air Jordans are somewhat of a rarity. The combination of signature style and durability is seldom seen on the AJ line, but when put together, it makes for a pair of Airs that are actually as tough as they look. Making room for only minimal accents, we count down the 10 best blacked out Air Jordans.<\/p>\n
Released:<\/strong> 2005<\/p>\n In many ways, you can refer to these as the ?Stealths? before the ?Stealths?. This pair disappointed OGs early on begging for ?Shadows?, but later on won over wearers for their ability to shade off scuffs and stains.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Released:<\/strong> 2004<\/p>\n How tough was this colorway? It was tough enough to get released twice. While the patent leather-laden latter installment is nice, we?ll take the stingray upper over the standard shine.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Released:<\/strong> Unreleased<\/p>\n Samples are not out of bounds on this list. This very rare “Ref” design makes a strong case for suede mudguard renditions of the 11 Low.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Released:<\/strong> 2002<\/p>\n Contrary to popular belief, good Jordans surfaced post the Bulls’ three-peat. Take this Black\/Chrome 17 Low into consideration. The bootie collar preceded the Kobe System and the crocodile trim is enough to put anyone in animal accents on game.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Released:<\/strong> 2007<\/p>\n The Air Jordan 3 ?Black Cat? channeled MJ?s panther-like prowess and countered the very icy ?Pure $? makeup. Since then, the ?BHM? and ?Black Flip? releases have played off similar styling.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Released:<\/strong> 2001<\/p>\n Heavy on quality but light on feet, this dark makeup of the 16 Low saw minimal-meet-monotone for the first time on the AJ line.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Released:<\/strong> 2006<\/p>\n Few Jordans are more wearable than the 4s, and it doesn?t get any easier than black-on-black. While these didn?t fly off shelves when released, they have since proved ahead of their time and now hard to get.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Released:<\/strong> 2001<\/p>\n This Japan exclusive opened up the lane for all-black Jordan retros. Since then, we?ve seen an ostrich makeup of similar inspiration, but these still hold up as the best blacked-out 1s.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Released:<\/strong> 2003<\/p>\n The busy design of the Air Jordan 8 found solitude in this Black\/Chrome colorway. How many times do we have to ask for a re-retro?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Released:<\/strong> Unreleased<\/p>\n Tossing new colors on the Air Jordan 11 is asking for insults. This ?Blackout? sample caught compliments and muted most criticism with many screaming for release.<\/p>\n [polldaddy poll=6070225]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Which Jordans looked the best in black?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2415,"featured_media":207412,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[618],"tags":[1225452,1225575],"cultivate_rss":[],"class_list":{"2":"type-post"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n9.
