Versus a Jordan 1, it's a bulkier, more structured shoe. Versus a Jordan 11? It's less flashy but has that tank-like build. In the Jordan 4 family, this is the go-to for a minimalist, versatile option. It's a staple, not a statement piece. Major pros for this shoe? First, the materials are top-tier for a general release. The all-black suede is durable and looks expensive. Second, its versatility is a huge plus. The "mens air jordan retro 4 black cat" goes with literally everything—jeans, joggers, shorts. It's a wardrobe staple. Finally, it's a timeless colorway that won't go out of style. A real workhorse sneaker. Who should maybe pass? If you're new to Jordans and want maximum comfort, look elsewhere. If you prefer bright, colorful sneakers, this isn't it. Also, if you're on a tight budget, there are more affordable all-black options. This is for the fan of the specific model and color story. Who should maybe "skip" these? If you prioritize cloud-like comfort above all else, look elsewhere. Also, if you're new to Jordans and want that classic "Chicago" or "Bred" color-pop experience, this all-black pair might feel too subdued for your first pickup. And if you have a tight budget and the resale price is steep, remember there are other great black sneakers out there. Don't force it just for the hype.
