Jordan Brand is once again tapping into the allure of the “Black Cat” moniker with an upcoming release of the Air Jordan 4 RM. This all-black iteration of the modified silhouette is set to drop in Fall 2024, promising to be a must-have for sneakerheads and Jordan enthusiasts alike.
Introduced in 2006, the original “Black Cat” was a bold departure from the usual colorful Jordan releases. Inspired by Michael Jordan’s “Black Cat” nickname, the shoe featured an entirely black upper crafted from premium nubuck. The monochromatic design, coupled with the sleek lines of the Air Jordan 4, created a stealthy and sophisticated aesthetic that resonated with fans.
The 2006 release quickly became a coveted piece among collectors and sneaker enthusiasts, solidifying the “Black Cat” as a legendary colorway in the Jordan lineage.
Fast forward to 2024, and Jordan Brand revisits this celebrated theme with a contemporary twist. The Air Jordan 4 RM “Black Cat” retains the essence of its predecessor—a complete black color palette and luxurious materials—while integrating modern updates of the Jordan 4 RM silhouette.
Highlighted by a combination of supple leather, breathable mesh, and plush nubuck on its upper, the shoe features a striking black midsole and outsole. Subtle white accents on the branding provide a subtle contrast, enhancing its dark aesthetic without compromise.
Air Jordan 4 RM Black Cat Release Date
Scheduled for release on November 5, 2024, the Air Jordan 4 RM “Black Cat” will be available at select Jordan Brand retailers, online, and Nike.com. Available in a range of sizes, including options for the whole family, the retail price is set at $150 USD for adult sizes.
This upcoming release is poised to reignite nostalgia among long-time fans while captivating a new generation with its timeless appeal and contemporary design updates.
