First Look: Air Jordan 4 “Black Cat” (2025)

The Air Jordan 4 “Black Cat” is officially set to return on Black Friday 2025, reigniting the legacy of one of Jordan Brand’s most stealthy and coveted colorways. Originally released in 2006, the silhouette draws inspiration from MJ’s nickname “Black Cat,” delivering a monochromatic look that emphasizes sleek aggression and timeless appeal. For this 2025 edition, the pair will feature a key detail fans have long been waiting for—Nike Air branding on the heel, restoring that OG touch that collectors and purists crave.

Drenched in deep Black/Black-Light Graphite tones, the sneaker balances between premium materials and technical execution. The upper arrives in smooth nubuck with tonal mesh panels, glossy black midsoles, and muted graphite detailing that creates subtle contrast without disrupting the silhouette’s all-black essence. From streetwear enthusiasts to die-hard Jordan heads, the Air Jordan 4 “Black Cat” speaks to those who value versatility, minimalism, and historical weight.

What truly sets this retro apart, aside from the branding upgrade, is its full-family sizing—a rare opportunity for sneaker lovers of all ages to rock the same iconic look. With demand expected to spike, its Black Friday release date only adds to the hype. Whether you’re copping for nostalgia or introducing the next generation to Jordan heritage, this drop is shaping up to be one of the biggest of the year.
