FAQs
Is the Black Cat 2020 an original release?
No, this is a 2020 retro version of the original colourway that first debuted in 2006.
What is the primary material of the shoe?
The upper is crafted from high-quality leather with mesh underlays.
Does this model include any coloured accents?
The shoe is almost entirely black, with subtle Light Graphite detailing found on the Jumpman logos.
Are these suitable for basketball?
While the AJ4 was originally a performance basketball shoe, this retro version is intended primarily for lifestyle and casual wear.
How should I clean the outsoles?
Use warm water, mild soap, and a scrub brush to wipe down the rubber outsoles after outdoor use.
Do these fit true to size?
Most users find them to fit true to size, though the leather construction can feel slightly snug at first compared to mesh-heavy sneakers.
Troubleshooting
Leather upper looking dull or dry
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner sparingly to restore the finish and prevent cracking.
Accumulation of dust in mesh netting
Use a can of compressed air or a soft, dry toothbrush to gently dislodge debris from the mesh gaps.
Creasing in the toe box
Use sneaker shields or store with shoe trees to maintain the shape of the upper when not in use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When sizing these, consider that the Air Jordan 4 generally fits true to size, though the leather upper may require a short 'break-in' period to soften around the foot. For compatibility, their neutral black tone makes them easy to style with jeans, joggers, or casual slacks. To care for these shoes, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dust from the mesh areas and a specialized leather cleaner for the upper. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemical solvents, as these can damage the texture of the leather and affect the adhesion of the soles.
