Black Cat 2025 4's FV5029-010

The Air Jordan 4 Retro "Black Cat" (2025) brings back a stealth-classic colorway with an all-black nubuck upper, tonal mesh paneling, and — for the first time on this colorway — authentic Nike Air heel branding that brings it closer to the original 1989 silhouette than ever before.

Details and design

• Stealth nubuck upper: A solid black nubuck build delivers a clean, monochromatic look with premium texture and a muted, understated feel.

• OG structure: Quarter panel netting, molded eyelets, and TPU support wings preserve the classic AJ4 architecture in matching black tones.

• First-ever Nike Air heel: The 2025 edition debuts Nike Air branding on the heel tab for the Black Cat colorway — a long-awaited detail for collectors who value OG authenticity.

• Tonal branding: A subtle Light Graphite Jumpman sits on the woven tongue tag, adding just enough contrast without breaking the blackout aesthetic.

• All-black midsole and outsole: A black polyurethane midsole houses a visible Air-sole unit in the heel, while the rubber outsole keeps the understated theme intact from top to bottom.

Why this pair stands out

• First Nike Air Black Cat: The debut of Nike Air heel branding on this colorway makes it a milestone release for AJ4 enthusiasts.

• Endlessly versatile: The all-black scheme pairs effortlessly with any outfit, from tech fits to denim and streetwear staples.
