After being initially previewed in GS sizes, the Air Jordan 4 RM "Black Cat" has been released in adult sizes. Following the earlier introduction of the Spi’zike Low, this triple-black version of the Air Jordan 4 RM has generated significant interest.
The official release, featuring this popular colorway, confirms its place among Jordan Brand's recent successful remixes of the Air Jordan series.
The sneaker has already been released and can be purchased from the official website nike.com at $150. Nike has described the Air Jordan 4 RM as,
“These sneakers reimagine the instantly recognizable AJ4 for life on the go. We centered comfort and durability while keeping the heritage look you love. Max Air in the heel cushions your every step, and elements of the upper the wing, eyestay and heel—are blended into a strong, flexible cage that wraps the shoe to add a toughness to your everyday commute.”
Michael Jordan's iconic "Black Cat" persona has been featured across several popular sneaker models, including the Air Jordan 4 and 13, and also in the Air Jordan 5 "Black Cat." YouTuber Erkin Hassan, who goes by the social name The Life Of A Broski, has reviewed the sneaker as an underrated silhouette in general.
Hassan commented that this sneaker stood out due to its streamlined design, lacking the bulkier mudguard on other models. It featured a white Jumpman logo with stitched "Flight" text, and the added padding around the ankle offered noticeably more comfort than the standard Jordan 4. He believed the shoe’s shape indicated it would be especially comfortable compared to previous versions.
The Nike Air Jordan 4 RM "Black Cat" looked a lot more like a mid-cut shoe
Hassan remarked that although the Air Jordan 4 RM "Black Cat" might not fully match the look of the original Jordan 4, it came close in style. Initially, the shoe appeared more like a mid-cut in pictures, according to him, it seemed to strike a balance between mid-cut and low-cut, which he felt was ideal.
He noted the versatility of the shoe’s look, as it paired well with various styles, from shorts to cuffed trousers. Ultimately, he felt that experiencing them on foot revealed not only their visual appeal but also their impressive comfort.
The sneaker has also gained reviews from buyers. While some have called it comfortable and stylish, others have pointed out certain disparities. Some of the reviews from the official website are:
“I enjoy the overall look and feel. Size is true. Hoping these can become my everyday shoe for work.”
“The sneaker is poorly constructed, very narrow even for someone with narrower feet and the upper top front material is very loose so this will lead to early creases. The ad pictures and the actual shoe is something totally different.”
“Go true to size. I have the triple black pair and it just might be my to go shoe for everything now.”
