If you're rough on your shoes, this might not be the best daily beater. Also, the outsole is a solid rubber, so traction on really dusty courts might be just okay, not great. Comparing it to other Jordans... it's heavier & less flexible than, say, a Jordan 1. But the "Jordan 4" offers more ankle support for sure. Compared to a lighter retro like the Jordan 3, the 'Black Cat' feels more substantial & rugged. It's a different kind of beast. If you love the 4's bulky aesthetic, you'll love this version. On foot now, and the fit is true to size for me. The mens air jordan retro 4 black cat offers that familiar Jordan 4 lockdown – secure around the midfoot, which I like. The cushioning? It's firm, you know? It's not super plush like some modern sneakers, but it's comfortable for all-day wear. They're not heavy, but you definitely feel the structure of the shoe. Major pros? The versatility is number one. This "mens air jordan retro 4" goes with literally everything. The materials are durable and should age well with proper care. It's a timeless colorway that won't go out of style. For around $210 USD, it's a solid investment piece for any rotation.
