Black Cat (2025) · FV5029-010
The Jordan 4 Retro "Black Cat" returns in 2025 under SKU FV5029-010, reviving one of the most beloved all-black executions of the silhouette. First introduced in the early 2000s, Black Cat was named for Michael Jordan's stealthy, predatory style of play, translating that nickname into a monochrome build: black mesh, black nubuck, black leather overlays, and a jet-black midsole with matching netting on the eyelets. Unlike flashier Jordan 4 drops, this colorway leans on tonal detailing rather than contrast, giving it a sleek, versatile look that has made it a perennial favorite among collectors seeking a wearable, low-key grail. Prior releases in 2006 and 2020 sold out quickly and now command strong resale premiums, cementing Black Cat's reputation as a blackout classic on par with the Bred or Black Cement in cultural weight. The 2025 retro brings the design back with updated materials and construction consistent with recent Jordan 4 retros, satisfying long-standing demand from fans who missed earlier drops. Anticipation ahead of release was high, with sneaker media treating it as one of the year's key all-black Jordan releases.
