First impression? The all-black suede and nubuck build is "seriously" premium. The silhouette is iconic, and this monochromatic look makes it super sleek. At around $200 USD, you're paying for that stealthy, luxury feel. The materials feel great right out of the box. My final take? I love the Air Jordan 4 'Black Cat'. It’s one of those shoes that gets better the more you look at it. The quality is there, the style is iconic yet understated. Is it worth the retail price? For me, yes—if you value materials and a versatile colorway. It’s a sneaker you'll keep reaching for because it goes with everything. Who is this for? Honestly, for any sneakerhead wanting a sleek, all-purpose black shoe. It's perfect if you love the Jordan 4 silhouette but want a low-key, versatile colorway. Great for collectors and casual wearers alike who appreciate a minimalist aesthetic. Who should maybe pass? If you prioritize ultimate comfort above all else, there are better modern options. Also, if you're new to Jordans and want a more iconic, classic color-blocked look first, maybe start with a 'Bred' or 'Cement'. And if you hate maintaining suede, the care required for this one might be a dealbreaker.
