It lacks that classic color pop. Compared to a Jordan 1, the 4 is bulkier and less flexible. But that's also its charm—it has a distinct, chunky silhouette that makes a statement in a totally different, monochromatic way. Who might want to skip it? If you prioritize ultimate comfort above all else, there are better options. Also, if you live in a very rainy area, that traction could be an issue. And if you're new to sneakers and want something more "fun" or colorful, this all-black palette might feel too plain. It's a specific vibe. Who should maybe skip it? If you're new to sneakers and want your first Jordans to "pop" with color, this isn't it. Also, if you prioritize cloud-like comfort above all else, look elsewhere. And if you're rough on your shoes, the matte black might show wear more easily than a busier colorway. Alright, so I finally got my hands on the Air Jordan 4 'Black Cat'. First impression? The all-black suede and nubuck build is "crazy" premium in hand. The silhouette is just iconic, you know? At $200 USD, you're paying for that stealthy, monochromatic look. It's a classic Jordan series release that feels very special straight out of the box.
