The Air Jordan 4 "Black Cat" (2025) is a retro drop bringing back the iconic 2006 and 2020 versions, this time featuring historic Nike Air branding on the heel. The name references Michael Jordan's on-court nickname and Tinker Hatfield's idea of ​​an agile, "cat-like" silhouette in the game. Official release: November 28, 2025 (Black Friday) , and following its debut, restocks were announced, including 5.12 (JD Sports US) and 15.12 (Foot Locker). At Aplug, each pair is verified for authenticity and shipped deadstock in its original box .

A monochromatic black nubuck/suede upper and tone-on-tone details create a complete stealth look with a rugged, military feel. Matte nubuck absorbs light and creates a premium feel, mesh side panels enhance breathability, and molded lace-wings and a heel counter secure the foot when lacing tightly. A black midsole and outsole with a visible airbag window in the heel complete the look; the only subtle contrast is the white Jumpman on the underside of the tread. The most important collector's touch is the return of Nike Air on the heel , reinforcing the heritage without compromising the muted aesthetic. This is a lifestyle shoe with basketball roots: great for everyday urban rotation and the fall/winter season; waterproof the nubuck before your first outing , avoid rain/puddles, clean with a nubuck brush or suede eraser, and if heavily soiled, use a gentle suede cleaner. Store with shoe trees and rotate pairs.

This colorway works best in full-black ensembles and minimalist looks that emphasize texture over color. Pair them with wide-leg black denim or cargo pants, technical nylon, and a puffer or leather jacket to enhance the tactical feel of the AJ4. The silhouette has visual weight, so balance it with looser leggings , and if you want to break things up, add gray or graphite in one piece (beanie, sweatshirt) and leave the shoe as a strong, muted focal point of the ensemble.

What makes the Air Jordan 4 "Black Cat" (2025) special?

• Premium nubuck/suede – matte, soft to the touch and absorbing light, it gives a muted look that suits autumn and winter styles; requires impregnation and gentle care.
• Mesh side panels enhance breathability and maintain the technical feel without losing the classic AJ4 lines.
• Molded lace-wings and a heel counter increase lacing lockdown, stabilizing the foot during urban use.
• Nike Air system – visible cushion in the heel + encapsulated in the forefoot provide soft cushioning and shock absorption on the pavement.
• PU foam in the midsole provides stability and durability, and stands up well to everyday wear.
• The rubber herringbone sole guarantees a firm grip on dry and slightly damp surfaces.
• The Nike Air branding on the heel returns to period specifications, reinforcing the collectibility and DNA of the line.
• Monochromatic tone-on-tone black makes styling easier and conceals minor dirt between cleanings.

How to choose the right size for the Air Jordan 4 "Black Cat" (2025)?

AJ4s typically run true to size for standard foot widths. If you have wider feet or prefer thicker socks, consider +0.5. The tongue and lining may feel tighter – it's worth trying them on for your first AJ4. Available in full family sizing (men's + kids); when buying for a child, consult the Jordan/Nike size chart or measure your foot.
