The Air Jordan 4 Retro “Black Cat” Is Ready to Pounce Again

When a sneaker carries as much mystique as its nickname, you know it’s something special. The Air Jordan 4 Retro “Black Cat” is clawing its way back into the spotlight later this month, bringing with it the same shadowy swagger that made it a cultural icon from the moment it first hit shelves.

The original “Black Cat” Air Jordan 4 was inspired by one of Michael Jordan’s many alter egos. This new Retro release honors that legacy with a rich, monochromatic build that’s equal parts sleek and deadly. Premium black nubuck wraps the upper in a smooth, stealth-ready finish, while matte graphite touches add subtle dimension to the lace wings, midsole elements, and hardware.

Classic Air Jordan 4 DNA shows up everywhere you look: molded eyestays, breathable grid-style paneling, visible Air cushioning, and that unmistakable shape. On the tongue, the Jumpman logo stands out without breaking the shoe’s muted aesthetic, and the heel’s glossy black Nike Air branding ties everything together with a finish that feels classic.

What makes this sneaker special isn’t just the color – or lack thereof – but how effortlessly it fits into any style. Whether you're dressing it up, keeping it casual, or hitting the court, the Air Jordan 4 “Black Cat” delivers versatility with an edge. It's a shoe that doesn’t need loud colors to make noise.

Will you be looking to swipe a pair? The Air Jordan 4 Retro “Black Cat” will be available on Friday, November 28th, in-store and online at DTLR.com in full-family sizing.
