The Air Jordan 4 Retro OG Black Cat Returns Holiday 2025

Jordan Brand continues to give us what we need as they’ve continued to drop highly sought-after colorways across the Air Jordan lineup. This especially rings true in 2025, with classics and fan favorites set to hit shelves as part of the 40th anniversary of Jordan Brand. Adding to the extensive lineup for Holiday 2025, which already includes pairs like the Air Jordan 8 Bugs Bunny, Air Jordan 11 Gamma Blue, and Air Jordan 12 Taxi, is the Air Jordan 4 Retro OG Black Cat.

In 2006, the Jordan 4 Black Cat hit shelves for the first time, starting an illustrious lineup of Black Cat-themed Air Jordans that recall MJ’s famous moniker. While the pair wasn’t a smash hit in 2006 or when it first retroed in 2020, it slowly crept up in value over the early parts of the 2020s and became highly sought-after as the AJ 4 became the “it” shoe on TikTok and social media. Luckily for those who don’t want to pay an insane markup on an all-black Air Jordan 4, the pair coming Holiday 2025 will feature some new additions and improvements from the previous 2020 version.

Across the upper sits a black nubuck, staying tonal across each panel. More black hits are found on the plastic netting on the midfoot cage and tongue, while the Jumpman logo on the heel tab is replaced by Nike Air. The tongue tag comes in a slightly different grey hue. Final details include the AJ 4 midsole in black and a matching rubber outsole. This pair is also built off the AJ 4 SB, meaning it will retain the same updated cushioning and shape and look more like the original 1989 release.

The Air Jordan 4 Retro OG Black Cat will release in Holiday 2025 through Nike and select Jordan Brand retailers online and in-store. Available in full-family sizing, the retail price is $215 for men’s pairs. Kids pairs will retail for $160 (GS), $100 (PS), and $85 (TD).
