The cushioning isn't as responsive as the latest Jordan 38. But within the Jordan 4 lineage, this "Black Cat" colorway is iconic for a reason – it's the purest, most wearable all-black version. It's less flashy than a "Bred" but has its own powerful vibe. So, is it worth the price? At retail, absolutely. The quality justifies it. On the resale market? It depends on how much you value this specific aesthetic. For me, yes—it's a timeless piece. It fills a specific niche in a collection that few other Jordans do. Just go in knowing its strengths (incredible looks, versatility) and its weaknesses (maintenance, firm ride). If that aligns with you, you won't be disappointed. Who should maybe skip it? If you prioritize ultimate comfort above all, look elsewhere. Also, if you're new to sneakers and want something that "pops" more, this all-black Jordan might feel too plain. It's for those who appreciate subtlety. Who should maybe skip it? If you're looking for maximum comfort or a plush, modern basketball shoe feel, look elsewhere. Also, if you prefer bold, colorful sneakers that stand out, the 'Black Cat' might feel too plain. It's a specific vibe that doesn't scream for attention.
