The Air Jordan 4 “Black Cat,” a beloved all-black colorway, is making a return in late 2025, coinciding with the 40th anniversary of Michael Jordan‘s partnership with Nike. Originally released in 2006 and brought back for a limited run in 2020, this sneaker has become a favorite among the fans and collectors. Its sleek, monochromatic design reflects Michael Jordan’s “Black Cat” nickname, symbolizing his agility and stealth on the court.
The 2025 iteration of the Air Jordan 4 “Black Cat” will maintain its signature minimalist aesthetic, featuring black suede uppers, black netting, and black midsoles. Notable details include Light Graphite accents on the Jumpman logo and a glossy finish on the midsole. The design will also include the iconic visible Air unit in the heel, characteristic of the Air Jordan 4 silhouette.

Despite its understated look, the “Black Cat” colorway has consistently remained a highly sought-after model. After its 2020 release, the demand surged, partly driven by the popularity of the documentary “The Last Dance,” which highlighted Michael Jordan’s illustrious career. The limited availability of the 2020 release saw resale prices soar, sometimes reaching up to $1,000.
The return of this Air Jordan 4 model in 2025 is expected to feature an updated shape, closely resembling the original 1989 silhouette. This release will be available at select Jordan Brand retailers and on Nike’s official website, with a retail price set at $215.
