The legendary Air Jordan 4 “Black Cat” is back, and here at KershKicks we’re gearing up for one of the most hyped Black Friday drops in recent years. Set to release on 28th November 2025, this iconic all black silhouette returns with the same stealthy energy sneakerheads love, but with one major twist that’s already sending collectors into overdrive. The familiar jet black nubuck upper, tonal mesh panels and matte wings all make a comeback, keeping that clean, shadow like aesthetic that makes the Black Cat so wearable. This time, Jordan Brand has switched the heel branding from Jumpman to Nike Air, giving the pair an OG inspired edge that elevates the whole look.
If you know your Jordan history, you’ll know the “Black Cat” name isn’t just a nickname. It was one of MJ’s own monikers, reflecting the way he moved on the court: quick, instinctive and almost predatory. That same energy lives on in this colourway. From the original 2006 release to the 2020 retro, the Black Cat 4 has always been one of those shoes that sells out instantly and becomes even harder to secure later. With its Black, Black and Light Graphite palette and classic AJ4 cushioning and traction, the 2025 edition stays true to its roots with a refined, premium finish.
Expect this drop to be seriously competitive. JD Sports is running their raffle from 21st to 27th November, and SNKRS will be as tough as ever. Previous Black Cat releases have risen steadily on the resale market, and this release is expected to follow the same pattern. As always, stick with trusted retailers and legit sellers, as this is a colourway that counterfeiters target heavily.
At KershKicks, we know a future classic when we see one, and the 2025 Black Cat is exactly that. Whether you plan to rock them straight away or store them as a long term hold, this is a sneaker that delivers in every way. Keep it locked to KershKicks for updates, early looks and everything you need to stay ahead. When these drop, they won’t be sitting around, so make sure you’re ready before the Black Cat slips back into the shadows once again.
