Original Story:
In celebration of the 40th Anniversary of the Air Jordan line, Jordan Brand is set to re-release one of its most beloved colorways, the Air Jordan 4 “Black Cat.” Originally released in 2006, the Air Jordan 4 Black Cat 2025 returns this year with its all-black design, known for its sleek, stealthy look and versatile appeal.
The “Black Cat” Air Jordan 4 was inspired by one of Michael Jordan’s many nicknames, “Black Cat,” which referenced his agile, panther-like movements on the court. The shoe features a predominantly black color scheme, with black suede uppers, black netting, and black midsoles, all contributing to its understated yet powerful aesthetic. The minimalist design allows the silhouette of the Air Jordan 4 to take center stage, making it a go-to option for sneakerheads who appreciate a more subdued look.
