The all-black upper with those grey speckles on the midsole? It's a killer combo. In different lighting, you can see the textures way better than in photos. This "black cat" colorway is a straight-up grail for a lot of people. It's simple but has so much attitude. Definitely a head-turner. 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. 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. Final thoughts? I'm keeping these in my rotation. They offer something a little different in the Jordan lineup. Would I recommend them? If you appreciate subtle design and need a versatile black sneaker, definitely go for it. But if you crave comfort or bold colors, maybe look elsewhere. That's my honest take on these!
