It has more tech (the Air unit in the heel), but don't expect Boost or React levels of cushion. Compared to other 4s, the build feels consistent. The main difference is the color. This is for those who love the 4's silhouette but want a pure, wearable black shoe instead of a loud, classic colorway. So, is it worth the $200 USD price tag? For me, yes. It's a foundational piece. The quality is there, the look is iconic, and it fills a specific "all-black-everything" niche in the Jordan series lineup perfectly. I'm really happy with this addition. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "mens air jordan retro 4" has a chunkier profile than, say, a Jordan 1. The 'Black Cat' is more understated than a lot of loud, colorful retros. If you have other 4s, you know the fit. It's similar, but this specific nubuck might feel a bit stiffer initially compared to leather versions. Is it worth the price? For me, yes. The "mens air jordan retro 4 black cat" is a classic retooled. At $210 USD, it's standard for a Jordan Retro. You're paying for the iconic design and a super wearable colorway. I think it's a solid pick-up, especially if you can grab it near retail.
