If you need a gym or running shoe, this isn't it. Also, if you prefer bright, colorful sneakers that stand out, the "black cat" 4 might feel too plain or even boring to you. It's a specific vibe. Wearing these out, the matte black finish is just killer. It’s a versatile colorway that goes with almost anything—jeans, joggers, you name it. The way the different textures catch the light is subtle but cool. On camera, this "black cat" colorway looks even better. It’s a simple, effective design that really works. Now, a potential con: that all-black nubuck. It can be a magnet for dust and lint, and you might see slight creasing more easily. Also, if you need plush, modern comfort, this isn't it. It's a retro basketball shoe at its core. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "Black Cat" 4 sits in a unique spot. It's less flashy than a lot of recent Jordan 1 releases, but has more presence than an all-black Jordan 1. Compared to other 4s, the lack of contrast means details like the netting and support wings pop in a more subtle way. It's a nice change from the usual bold color-blocking.
