One of the most unmissed makeups of the Air Jordan 4 is the “Black Cat.” Inspired by one of Michael Jordan’s many nicknames, the pair is certainly one of the sleekest iterations of the silhouette and Jumpman franchise as a whole. The low-top is getting a revival this February 24, and thanks to the popular sneaker leaker @hanzuying, fans can get an early up-close look at its design.

The updated AJ4 is predominantly embellished in a bolder black makeup than its predecessor. It also boasts the same constructions as the original, featuring the same matte-finished nubuck materials across the uppers alongside its signature eye stays in a glossy black. Other attributes include monochromatic Jumpman logos on the tongue patches and the heel caps for an overall, lavish execution.

Check out the AJ4 “Black Cat” 2020 retro above and expect an official release slated for February 22 at Nike.com and select stockists. Each pair will ostensibly set you back $190 USD each.
