This all-black nubuck upper hides creases well and goes with everything. The Jordan 4 design is iconic, and this "Black Cat" is one of its most wearable iterations. Durability seems good for casual use. It's a statement piece that doesn't scream for attention, which I personally love for my rotation. Now, the cons. Breathability is basically zero - your feet will get warm. The break-in period is real; expect some stiffness. And as I said, maintenance is key. That black nubuck needs a good suede brush. At $210, you're not getting cutting-edge tech. You're buying into the Jordan Brand legacy and that specific aesthetic. Who should avoid it? If you're new to sneakers and want maximum comfort, look at newer models. If you live in a super hot climate, the lack of breathability will bother you. If you're rough on your shoes and hate cleaning them, the visible dust and scuffs will drive you crazy. It's not a "beat 'em up" daily shoe for everyone. Here's a major pro: versatility. The mens air jordan retro 4 black cat goes with literally everything – jeans, joggers, shorts. It's a wardrobe staple. The build seems durable for casual use. Also, as a Jordan 4, it's just a timeless model in the Jordan series. You're buying into a piece of sneaker history with this silhouette.
