Sneaker Nicknames Explained: “Black Cat,” “Pure Money,” “Cervidae” and More

Air Jordan 4 “Pure Money”

If the Air Jordan 4 came in all black, of course an all white iteration had to become available. As a play off the “Black Cat” nickname, this Jordan Brand release’s nickname aptly describes the shoe’s clean white on white color scheme. Replacing the green lace eyelets of the all-white colorway from 2005 with silver ones in 2006, pure money best described the crisp clean color scheme of this Jordan model.
