If you love bright colors and standing out, this isn't your shoe. Also, if you're rough on suede/nubuck, the maintenance might annoy you. It's a specific taste, but for the right person, it's perfect. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "Retro 4 "Black Cat"" is way more versatile than a loud colorway. It's less bulky than a 5, more streamlined than a 13 for sure. If you have other 4s, you'll know the fit is consistent. But this colorway is the ultimate "wear-with-anything" option in the Jordan lineup, hands down. Who is this for? If you love the Jordan 4 silhouette and want a pair you can wear multiple times a week, this is it. It's for the sneakerhead who appreciates a monochromatic, versatile colorway. It's also great if you missed out on the 2006 or earlier releases and want this iconic blackout colorway in your collection. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "black cat" 4 is firmer underfoot than, say, a Jordan 1. It has more tech (the Air unit in the heel), but don't expect Boost or React levels of cushion. Compared to other 4s, the build feels consistent. The main difference is the color. This is for those who love the 4's silhouette but want a pure, wearable black shoe instead of a loud, classic colorway.
