Air Jordan 4 Retro 'Black Cat' (2025) GS
The Air Jordan 4 was designed by Tinker Hatfield and first released in 1989, becoming the first Jordan model to achieve a global release. The Black Cat colourway debuted in 2006 as the first all-black Air Jordan 4, named after Michael Jordan's pre-NBA nickname. It returned in 2020 and has since become one of the most coveted Jordan 4 colourways, with the 2025 edition marking the most faithful reissue to date.
The Black Cat colourway is a full triple-black finish across the entire shoe, with the only contrast coming from light graphite Jumpman branding on the tongue tag. The tonal black palette covers the nubuck upper, mesh panels, TPU wings, eyelets, midsole, and outsole, creating a sleek, stealth-inspired aesthetic. A glossy overlay on the midsole adds subtle textural contrast against the matte nubuck.
Premium black nubuck upper with tonal mesh side panels for a durable, breathable construction. Visible Air-Sole cushioning in the heel for responsive impact protection and all-day comfort. All-black tonal finish with glossy midsole overlay for a sleek, stealth aesthetic. Signature Jordan 4 floating eyestays, TPU support wings, and molded eyelets for structural integrity. Durable rubber outsole for reliable multi-surface traction.
Fit: Runs true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK size. Half a size up recommended for wider feet or a looser fit.

The Air Jordan 4 Black Cat GS is for younger sneaker fans who want the same iconic all-black Jordan 4 in Grade School sizing. The triple-black palette makes it one of the most versatile options for school, casual wear, and everyday outfits. It suits anyone in GS sizing who wants a premium, go-with-everything sneaker with genuine Jordan heritage.
The Black Cat GS is one of the most versatile sneakers for younger wearers thanks to its all-black palette. It pairs seamlessly with school uniforms, black joggers, dark denim, or any casual outfit. The tonal finish means it works as a neutral anchor without competing with the rest of the fit.
The Black Cat GS shares the same design and materials as the adult version (FV5029-010) but is built on a Grade School last for smaller feet. For anyone whose size falls between the top of GS (UK 6) and the start of adult sizing, the adult UK 6 offers a slightly wider fit. The GS pair carries the same stealth aesthetic, Nike Air heritage, and premium nubuck construction as the full-size release.
Yes, the GS Black Cat runs true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK size. If you have wider feet or prefer a looser fit, consider going half a size up. The nubuck upper provides a secure, comfortable fit straight out of the box.
The GS (Grade School) version shares the same design, colourway, and materials as the adult pair but is built on a smaller last for younger feet. The GS uses style code IB4171-010 while the adult version uses FV5029-010. Both feature the same premium nubuck upper and all-black finish.
Grade School sizing typically fits children and young teens aged approximately 7 to 14, covering UK sizes 3 to 6. The exact fit depends on the individual's foot size rather than age alone. If you are between GS and adult sizing, we recommend trying the adult UK 6 for a slightly wider fit.
We recommend using a soft brush or damp cloth to gently clean the nubuck upper. Avoid soaking or machine washing as this can damage the nubuck material and glossy midsole overlay. Use a dedicated sneaker cleaner for stubborn marks and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
