Matt Varga It feels like everyone is familiar with the New Balance formula; vintage aesthetics meet a blend of suede, leather and mesh. While that equation still bears fruit on a regular basis (look no further than the The Grinch Steals Christmas With The Crocs Classic Clog 1000 or Eric Koston’s Thai Roots Emerge On The Nike SB Air Max 95 1906R), the key to staying relevant is throwing an off-speed pitch right before full saturation. The Jordan 4 Black Cat “Silver Metallic” is a perfect example, adding reflective patent leather onto its familiar profile.
Sure, metallic notes aren’t a shock for anyone fluent in tech runner styles, but the material switch-up is plenty notable on its own merits. Matching that change with an eclectic mix of lavender and “Taro Green” on the edges creates a real space age atmosphere, attacking retro-futurism from a 1960s Jetsons sort of angle. In the finer details there’s intrigue as well, with an orbital New Balance logo stamped on the insole, a touch shared by a set Frankenstein’s Monster Comes To Life On The Nike Dunk Low Travis Scott ShoesJun 3, 2024 Jordan 4 Black Cat brings a ton of extra charm to this wonky colorway, and if the special edition touches here are a sign of something larger, we’re excited to see where this theme can go in the future.
