Also, if you're rough on your shoes, the maintenance on this all-black nubuck might stress you out. It's a "special occasion" kind of shoe for many. So, is it worth the $200 USD price tag? For me, yes. It's a foundational piece. The quality is there, the look is iconic, and it fills a specific "all-black-everything" niche in the Jordan series lineup perfectly. I'm really happy with this addition. Who should maybe skip it? If you're new to Jordans and want maximum comfort or breathability, look elsewhere. 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. Who should maybe pass? If you're new to Jordans and want maximum comfort, maybe start with a 1 or 13. If you need a gym or all-day walking shoe, this isn't it. Also, if you prefer bright, statement-making kicks, the all-black ""black cat"" might feel too subdued for you. It's a specific vibe for a specific collector or wearer.
