The Air Jordan 4 Retro "Black Cat" (2025) officially returned on November 28, 2025 (Black Friday), bringing back one of the most revered and coveted monochromatic colorways in Jordan Brand history. Named after one of Michael Jordan’s earliest on-court nicknames, this 2025 iteration updates the mold to fit the 1989 original shape specs while introducing a massive structural update: the inclusion of vintage "Nike Air" branding on the heel tab instead of the Jumpman logo used on previous retros.
Description:
- Colorway: Black / Black / Light Graphite
- Style Code: FV5029-010
- Matte Durabuck Upper: The entire silhouette is wrapped in a heavily matted out, premium black Durabuck material that creates a deep, stealthy, velvet-like sheen under lighting.
- Monochromatic Textures: Breathable plastic mesh grid netting overlays the quarter panels and lower tongue in a matching black matte finish.
- Glossy Accents: To prevent a flat appearance, subtle design depth is achieved by using glossy-finished plastic lace eyelets and mid-cut TPU support wings.
- Heel Branding: Features a tonal, molded Nike Air logo cleanly raised on the heel counter. A contrasting light graphite Jumpman Flight logo sits exclusively on the woven tongue patch.
-
Underfoot Cushioning: Engineered with an upgraded Dream Cell polyurethane insole sitting atop an encapsulated forefoot Air unit and a visible Air-Sole comfort bubble in the heel
