It's less bulky than an AJ5, in my opinion. Within the Jordan 4 family, it's arguably the most versatile black-based colorway ever released. It just has that go-anywhere, do-anything attitude. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "mens air jordan retro 4 black cat" is way more understated than, say, a Bred 4. It lacks the pop of color, but that's the point. Versus a Jordan 1, it's a bulkier, more structured shoe. It's for a different vibe—less classic basketball, more modern streetwear edge. Who might want to skip it? If you need plush, all-day comfort, look at modern performance models. If you love bright colors and standing out, this isn't your shoe. Also, if you're rough on suede/nubuck, the maintenance might annoy you. It's a specific taste, but for the right person, it's perfect. Alright, so I just got the "mens air jordan retro 4 black cat" in hand. First off, the all-black suede and nubuck build is "crazy" premium in person. The silhouette is sharp, and that matte finish? It’s stealthy but has serious presence. For around $210 USD, the materials feel on point right out of the box. A solid start for this Jordan series retro.
