Thank you for such a clear and straightforward review! No unnecessary commentary or over the top editing-just focused, concise, and right to the point. Well done!
@ Yes I was thinking about that Brian . Nubuck quality is decent ? I wear the same size shoe as you well and most Jordans I wear an 11 but I can fit a 12W/10 1/2 in those off noir threes were so nice I don’t know if you’ve ever had those in hand. I i got a pair of those and that’s the nubucks standard I would say on a three it’s really nice. If they would’ve made that shoe in extended sizing, you would be seeing black cement nubuck customs like that one sample that mayor had all over the place .
@sneakerfiles was wondering if you could do a mock up on the black cat 3s without the patent leather just to see how it would look like. Since a lot of people are complaining about that. And maybe add all nubuck heel tab if you could.🙏🏾
I appreciate the style of your vids bro. Not many are still doing them let alone as consistent as you are. Maybe TonyD2wild but not even MrFoamersimpson anymore. Huge fan of your work and attention to detail bro! #40+
Thank you so much! I have noticed there is a new way of people reviewing. However, a lot do just run through the shoes and don’t take the time. I actually enjoy doing these type of videos. 🤝🤝🤝
Seeing how greasy the tabs were I thought those were going to snap. Thats how you know when the tabs are expired, when they get greasy shiney and sticky to the touch.😅
Good luck on buying the new home this year! I’ve been pushing distance on my running over the last few years and my resolution is to run a marathon in 2025
Great Detailed Video Brian!!!! Yeah I’m not too crazy for the Pantent Leather on these I wish it was regular leather…but I will try to get these because I do have the Black Cat 4’s DS And the Black Cat 13’s DS In my collection😎👍👍
The part that people are the most curious is how cool I would look wearing. On-feet shots will greatly help viewers also in turn help your channel greatly.
These are like the military blue fours in the sense that it's a new Jordan that you don't have to be his sneaker head to like it is just an incredible shoe Your friends shoes are old enough to vote. That's so crazy! It's my graduation class Is '07
These are gonna be 1 of my 3 grails for 2025 idc what else drops. I still have my 2020 Bc 4’s 9/10 condition. I need these, the pure money 3’s, and the Rare Air 4’s.
19:25 this is true for my area, and im super happy about it. No shipping fees and no waiting, and i do hate being THAT guy, but I have them bring out all the pairs of my the size so I can best pick the best looking pair and box lol
Great review! One question I heard you saying perforation I think that’s how you spell it lol what does that mean? A couple of my New Year’s resolutions is to read one book per month and focus on conditioning my stamina bad rn so picking up that endurance would be great!
19:35 most of time when I go and pick them up, sizes are not available or you can only get them if you win a raffle ticket. This is in Canada.Also how many times do they restock exactly?
@@sneakerfilesI went to stores but they told me they didn’t get their stock so they pushed the drop to feb 1 ? Try to get it online but size sold out. What apps do ppl use to get them at retail ?
I don’t mind the script being missing but the glossy midsole doesn’t contrast very well with the patent imo. I think they should’ve toned that part down like the 07 so the patent could shine on its own
Man I wish they did the embroidery on the 3s and 4s it was cool to see it on my brothers old cooked black cat 4s steel buying these tho I appreciate the vid man also any word on the master 12s I’d like to know if they’d com sour next year so I can skip the fly games lol I don’t got the money
Interesting that you don't think its an instant sell-out...i guess im biased cuz ive been waiting on em for a minute lol. No idea on stock numbers but resale price right now is surprisingly high for a January release. Either way, great content as always! Much love
Thank you very much! Online they will go faster than in-store and I know they will have the fake restocks. I know SNKRS will sell out instantly but think you will be able to get them a week after at other spots or in-store
I'm banking on everyone being broke in January so I can cop them. I'm so happy they're releasing here in South Africa. It just popped up today on the Nike website here. When it comes to releases here, it can be very random as to what does or doesn't release.
@@sneakerfilesappreciate you bro 🙏 always appreciate the effort and hard work you put into bringing us reviews and news. Quick question: any news about the black cat 5s? What happened to those, did they get scrapped?
Terrible shape on the new ones they look like a box from the box and side but the 07s look sleeker in shape . The 01-08 was the best retro shape era after that they didnt care no more about the shape
These are dope. I have a feeling they gon sell out and make some bread for the simple fact they nubuck (think white thunder 4’s)…I think if they had made the midsole mat that would’ve been it!!
@sneakerfiles I feel that part. I just can't see the difference in the "elephant print" from the original that much, and it's basically just cracks like the "elephant print" on the shoes, it seems. ( had to quotation the elephant print to stay consistent 💯🤣 )
I swear even back in 05-07 they had a much better "Durabuck" type matieral then they do these days. I wish they would get that old stuff back. I do like the 2025 pair better here apart from the matieral tho
Bro ABS yeah great new year res, i got to four last year and about 18% body fat, abs are made in the kitchen thats where i always fail lol, but just a tip do cardio but dont put all your energy into it, it doesnt just depend on that when you get to a decent low enough body fat percentage do splits that target all muscle groups because the more muscle you gain that will also help in burning fat while your body is recovering from those excercise if that makes sense. On a side note im a middle aged guy who works out 4-5 times a week
Thank you! That’s dope to hear. Yea I work out 5x a week myself. More so do lifting. I use to have abs but lost them. I hate cardio but I am going to incorporate it more in my routine
Jordan brand has been killing me with the shaping of these new retro’s for years now . 25 pair is so pointy , the tongue kinda looks non existent like idk what Jordan brand been on man . Then they wanna charge more for less .. “Black Cat” isnt even on the back of the heel tab
That's why I wait for release day to go to the store and get my pair cus jordans quality control is getting worse every drop and I'm very piky with mi sneakers i can't get some sneakers online to wait for 2 weeks and when they finally get here they are all fucked up ful of glue stains scratches or whatever at the store i know the people working there i go every week they hook me up with a nice pair always
Lol panther print? What is that? Just looks like thicker lines than elephant or cement print idk what you mean by panther print i will trip the day panthers start looking like that 😂🤣😂
These are just triple black 3s without the Black Cat on the back. Jordan brand never fails to disappoint. I was so pumped for the pure $ to release but not so much now knowing it won't have the Pure $ on the back. The only thing the 2025s are good for is a sole swap and back tab replacements on the older pairs.
I don't love it but I do like the idea of using materials to create contrast (as opposed to colors)...like the TS phantoms does. Either way it's def a cop for me
I actually think that subtle change adds a lil extra to it. Although it’s just a black shoe that change is something I liked. I understand though for sure. Hope who ever once these can get em.
Thanks for watching! Greatly appreciate a thumbs up and if you're new, Subscribe.
We here like the rent on the fiirst
I think that's what makes this joint pop plus the laces.
Must Cop These Are Nostalgia For Me
Yes!!! I know you need them. Hope you have no issues buying

Finally a jordan unboxing I want to see from a popular jordan model…

Lmao! I thought after I did it the first time it was going to snap as well
lol I am glad they didn’t. I was rough when them though
A must have in the shoe collection. Another great video comparison
Thank you very much! I appreciate you 🤝
They definitely improved the design of this shoe, the lines are better, the angles are better, a small change but a significant one. Dope.
What’s up, man? Hope you had a merry Christmas and a happy new year.

The OG Cats had elephant print laces and these have what’s being called Panther print laces
In the outro I had to rewind it as I thought you said get a new home and focus on getting ass, and I thought this is new for a sneaker review
Lmao!!!! Man..my fiancée would not be happy with that lol
Dope comparison mayne 💯
Thank you very much!
Nice vid bro, I'd love to get this pair but my numbers are bad right now, I hope to get the 4s :(
Thank you. I hope you rebound in 2025 and get everything you want 🤝
Do you think their going to go up in price over the years like the black cat 4 did and how long if so
The part that people are the most curious is how cool I would look wearing. On-feet shots will greatly help viewers also in turn help your channel greatly.
Believe me, I would love to do some on-feet stuff. However, from where I source the shoes, they don’t allow me to try them on. Maybe in the future
Jussss copped🔥🔥

Very well put. It’s just like the Military 4. Nice! 03 was my graduation class
My first coping of the year was the velvet brown j1s but Definitely coping 1 or 2 pairs of the black cat

Need better comparisons with both shoes in frame at the same time so we can compare better
Understood. Thanks for the feedback
Great review! One question I heard you saying perforation I think that’s how you spell it lol what does that mean? A couple of my New Year’s resolutions is to read one book per month and focus on conditioning my stamina bad rn so picking up that endurance would be great!
Perforation means those holes you see on the 2025 pair opposed to the 2007 pair that doesn't have those perforated holes in them.
@ thx for the clarification 🙏🏾🫡
Thank you very much! @trueheartintent said it best
19:35 most of time when I go and pick them up, sizes are not available or you can only get them if you win a raffle ticket. This is in Canada.Also how many times do they restock exactly?
Interesting. Here we don’t see too many raffles. Typically I see a shoe restock 3-4 times sometimes more

I think you’re right. If it was a matte finish, or like you said, toned down, it probably would have been better
@@sneakerfiles still a cop!
I wish they would put the size tag on the side like the 07 pair not on the back tongue
I know what you’re talking about. I agree. That would be dope
The size tag is a better indicator than the insoles. High end reps have the insoles right now.
What indicators on the size tag do you look for
Man I wish they did the embroidery on the 3s and 4s it was cool to see it on my brothers old cooked black cat 4s steel buying these tho I appreciate the vid man also any word on the master 12s I’d like to know if they’d com sour next year so I can skip the fly games lol I don’t got the money
I wish they did too. Glad you enjoyed the video. As for the Master 12, I haven’t heard anything about those returning
Is the shoe tree paper or the hard cardboard
Paper
Can't wait to get them

He's one of those that wears them for looks
@ I don’t know man, I really don’t think so because he doesn’t even use it.
@@r.porter1300 like he acmvouds touching
The description of these on the SNKRS app is actually still calling them elephant print laces.
Really? Really weird. Definitely not elephant print
The laces are elephant print according to SNKRS
Interesting. Doesn’t really look elephant print to me on the new ones
@sneakerfiles I think the coloring on the laces its what throwing us off.
Whoo!!! WEEE!! Those good looking
Yes! They are very nice
I don’t think People liked the materials back in 07 when they came out. Those recession Jordan’s were horrible
I remember having the cookies n creme the back tab broke off
Yea the heel tab will break off. I am shocked it didn’t in the video
If ima be honest I never liked the 07’ laces I was gonna swap them but I like this yrs laces
never knew thee was a 2007 pair im lost n can't find them anywhere ?
\
Yes they released in 2007 first. Reseller sites have them. That’s pretty much it
A detail that no one talks about is the patent leather on the 2007 has a sparkle to it
And the new ones are just a black patent leather
See the pair I have is so old it lacks that.
@ rub small amount of lotion on it and wipe off will remove the fog
Shout out for admitting you’re wrong. Shows character
I appreciate that. 🤝🤝🤝
Yo off topic but some sources are saying there’s gonna be a very limited Travis Jordan 1 High coming next year. True or cap?
I haven’t heard about this yet. Which “sources” are reporting this?
Not so big sources like FitDadAK, HoodyJandro, ChickenWop. I asked FuelKicks about it, he said he has heard about it, but hasn’t seen them yet
@@sneakerfilesso uh anything on this?
I have the 07 pair and just recently the midsole started separating
Sorry to hear that! I hope you plan on restoring it.
@sneakerfiles oh no why would I do that the new one comes out Saturday
I want them!Thanks
No problem at all 🤝🤝🤝
I haven't made my mind up I'm copping these or not. I think they're very nice tho.
The Pattent Leather Is NICE🤬
Glad you like it
u said nubuck is it black nubuck like the bred 4s or is it black suede like the black cat 4s??
Like the Bred 4 from 2019
@sneakerfiles ah man that might be a pass for me then black cat 4s > bred 19s as far as materials go🤷♂️
07 for me!
I'm banking on everyone being broke in January so I can cop them. I'm so happy they're releasing here in South Africa. It just popped up today on the Nike website here. When it comes to releases here, it can be very random as to what does or doesn't release.

@@sneakerfilesappreciate you bro 🙏 always appreciate the effort and hard work you put into bringing us reviews and news. Quick question: any news about the black cat 5s? What happened to those, did they get scrapped?
The cement patterns on these are so inconsistent. Some pairs are softer & others are more deep and rough looking
Yes it seems that I the new normal with it nowadays
@ so unfortunate
Damn no extra black laces 😭 I hate those printed laces
I have to see them in hand ✋🏽 on the fence 😊
Totally understand that. I would definitely go check them out in person
i want these but i have too many shoes rn bro, and i feel like if i get these i wouldn’t wear them and they’d go to waste 💔
Sorry to hear that. I know what you mean. I am way behind on wearing shoes
elephant print on the 2007 makes me hate the new version (i bought the new version)
Terrible shape on the new ones they look like a box from the box and side but the 07s look sleeker in shape . The 01-08 was the best retro shape era after that they didnt care no more about the shape
You never heard anyone complain about the black cat 4s not having black cat on the back tab, but I doubt anyone even knew.
Hmmm that’s true. I didn’t hear people complain about that.
These are dope. I have a feeling they gon sell out and make some bread for the simple fact they nubuck (think white thunder 4’s)…I think if they had made the midsole mat that would’ve been it!!
If the midsole was matte, would have been so much better! But I do think they still will do well once they are released
What is "panther print"...? Has Jordan Brand used "panther print" on anything else? What makes it "panther"?
Not that I know of. So the "Black Cat" nickname comes from a panther, so that's why they changed the print this time around.
@sneakerfiles I feel that part. I just can't see the difference in the "elephant print" from the original that much, and it's basically just cracks like the "elephant print" on the shoes, it seems. ( had to quotation the elephant print to stay consistent 💯🤣 )
I really hope 🙏 and idk if Nike and Jordan would put the pure money words on the back of the jordan 3 pure money, just looking forward on it
I hope they do. Maybe they will. I am just not counting on it.
I swear even back in 05-07 they had a much better "Durabuck" type matieral then they do these days. I wish they would get that old stuff back. I do like the 2025 pair better here apart from the matieral tho
Yea I am more of a fan of the shape. I feel this comparison would have been better if the 07 pair was in better condition
@sneakerfiles Fair take right there. The preview shots of those white cement 4s get me so excited speaking of shapes man. I hope they're real.
That patient leather fuckes it up for me I'm good way better shoes coming out this summer I'll wait
Yea a lot of people don’t like the patent leather
I rather get those black flightposites that are supposed to come out
Those are very nice as well. I hope I hear a release date on those soon.
Idk something about the all black 🤔
Good or bad?
Had them when they released back in 07….undecided. The patent leather was the downside for me. Wish they would’ve used genuine leather instead
Would be nice if it was leather. Seems like most people aren’t fans of the patent leather

It does get ashy and picks up dust. It looks worse because of the bright lights though
