The all-black "black cat" colorway is incredibly versatile. It hides the creases well and looks sharp with almost anything. In person, the different textures—matte, shiny, mesh—really pop. This is one of those Jordans that looks even better on foot than in the box, in my opinion. Alright, so I just got the mens air jordan retro 4 black cat in hand, and my first impression? "Wow", the all-black execution is "super" clean. The nubuck feels premium right out of the box, and that classic AJ4 silhouette is just iconic. It's a stealthy, monochromatic look that I personally love for its versatility. Comparing it to other Jordans? The mens air jordan retro 4 black cat sits in a unique spot. It's more understated than a lot of the loud, OG colorways we see. Versus a Jordan 1, it's a bulkier, more structured shoe. Compared to other 4s, like the 'Breds' or 'Military Blues,' this is for the person who wants that iconic shape without the colorful panels. It's a minimalist's dream Jordan. Now, potential cons. That stiff forefoot I mentioned? It might need a real break-in period. Also, the suede/nubuck can be a nightmare to keep clean, especially in lighter dust or rain. If you’re super rough on your kicks, this might not be the most practical daily driver. Just being real.
