The matte black panels catch light differently, creating depth. It's a shoe that looks even better in person than in pictures. The subtle hits of gray on the eyelets and midsole break it up just enough. This isn't a loud shoe; it's sophisticated. It pairs with literally anything—jeans, joggers, shorts. For a Jordan 4, this is arguably one of the most wearable colorways ever released. Major pro? The versatility. The Air Jordan 4 'Black Cat' goes with literally "everything". Jeans, joggers, shorts—it doesn't matter. It's a statement piece that doesn't scream for attention. The materials are also top-notch; the nubuck should age nicely with some care. It's a true wardrobe staple for any sneaker rotation. Who might want to skip it? If you're new to sneakers and want maximum comfort above all, look elsewhere. Also, if you prefer bright, colorful kicks, this all-black everything might feel too plain. And if you hate maintaining suede, this will be a hassle. It demands a bit of care. My final take? The "Air Jordan 4 Black Cat" is a must-have for me. It's one of the most wearable Jordans ever made. The quality justifies the price for a retro. It's not the comfiest shoe ever, but the style points are through the roof. For a clean, go-with-anything sneaker, it's incredibly hard to beat. A true classic in the "Jordan series".
