The 4 is bulkier and has more of a structured feel. Versus a lighter Retro like the 3 or 5, the 4 "Black Cat" feels a tad heavier due to all the overlays, but it's not uncomfortable—just "present". Who should maybe pass? If you prioritize cloud-like comfort above all, look elsewhere. Also, if you're new to sneakers and want a more "statement" first Jordan, a classic colorway like 'Bred' or 'Cement' might be more exciting. The "black cat" is subtle—its beauty is in the details, not bold colors. Now, potential cons. The nubuck can be a pain to keep clean from dust and water spots. Also, that firm midsole isn't for everyone, especially if you're on your feet all day. And because it's all black, some details get lost unless you're up close. It's a subtle shoe, which could be a pro or con depending on your style. So, who is this for? If you love a versatile, all-black sneaker that works with tons of outfits, the mens air jordan retro 4 black cat is a must. It's for collectors who appreciate a clean colorway and fans of the AJ4 silhouette. It's a wardrobe staple, honestly.
