The Jordan 4 Black Cat price depends on which pair you own. Flip your box over and find the style code on the end panel. CU1110-010 is the 2020 retro. FV5029-010 is the 2025 retro. Each pair has its own resale market, its own price history, and a structural difference that keeps them on separate listings. If you have never read a sneaker style codes explained guide before, the code is printed on the same line as your size. That single string tells you which prices actually apply to your pair and which ones to ignore.
Three Releases, Three Different Objects
The 2006 original established the all-black upper, black midsole, and black outsole with no visible Air unit branding. That template is what both retros reference, but neither one is a reprint of it.
The 2020 retro (CU1110-010) dropped at $190 on January 22, 2020, and sold out almost immediately. Compressed supply from day 1 pushed this pair straight into a premium resale tier.
The 2025 retro (FV5029-010) dropped at $220 on November 28, 2025, in full family sizing, then restocked at Foot Locker on December 15, 2025. More supply from the start means a different resale dynamic than the 2020 pair.
Each run carries a distinct style code and a distinct retail price. The 2025 pair also has a Nike Air heel tab the 2020 pair lacks, making it a materially different product. Treat them as 3 separate entries in your rack. Our upcoming piece on what separates a retro from a reissue will explore why these distinctions matter beyond the Black Cat.
The 2020 Retro: CU1110-010 and What Instant Sell-Out Did to Its Market
Your confirming identifier is style code CU1110-010. It appears on the box label and the tongue tag. If your pair shows this code, every resale figure for the 2025 pair does not apply to you.
The January 22, 2020 release sold out almost immediately, a detail SneakerFiles documented at the time. That instant sell-out compressed supply from the start and pushed the pair into a premium resale tier where it has remained.
The 2020 pair has no Nike Air heel tab. That absence is not a defect and not a sign of a replica. It is how the 2020 pair was built.
As observed on 2026-09-23 via Google Shopping, GOAT listed 2020 Black Cat pairs at $812 and Flight Club listed the same pair at $804. These are snapshot observations from that date, not current prices. Resale prices change daily, and the figure you see today may differ from either number.
The 2025 Retro: FV5029-010, the Restock, and What the Data Showed
Your confirming identifier is style code FV5029-010. It retailed at $220 and released November 28, 2025, in full family sizing, which means children's and toddler sizes were available at launch.
The Foot Locker restock on December 15, 2025 widened supply significantly. Restocks apply downward pressure on the resale floor for that specific pair. They do not affect the 2020 market at all. That distinction explains why the effect of the Foot Locker restock on the Jordan 4 Black Cat is limited to listings under FV5029-010.
The StockX price history of the Jordan 4 Black Cat tells a layered story. As observed on 2026-09-23, the 2025 pair showed a 12-month price range of $145 to $1,149 and a 3-month range floor of $212, against the $220 retail price. Those numbers come from the StockX listing for FV5029-010 and represent the full spectrum of sizes, conditions, and transaction dates within that window.
The $1,149 ceiling almost certainly reflects a rare size or a dead stock anomaly, not what a mid-size pair trades for. The 3-month floor near retail reflects the restock effect compressing the premium on everyday sizes. To understand why shoe sizes affect resale value and where your specific size sits, your size and condition matter more than any published range.
The 2025 pair has a Nike Air heel tab that the 2020 pair does not. That single detail is why resale platforms list them separately and why you cannot use 1 pair's price to estimate the other.
Which Black Cat Do You Own? How to Read the Style Code
- Pull the box from the shelf and look at the label on the end panel. The style code appears on the same line as the size. CU1110-010 means you have the 2020 pair. FV5029-010 means you have the 2025 pair.
- If you no longer have the box, check the tongue tag inside the shoe. It carries the same code.
- The 2 codes are different enough that there is no ambiguity once you find them. No style code overlap exists between the 2 retros.
- Once you have the code, every price figure you read online applies only to that code. GOAT and StockX list them as separate products with separate price histories.
The Nike Air Heel Tab: Why It Separates the 2025 from the 2020
The 2025 pair (FV5029-010) has a Nike Air heel tab. The 2020 pair (CU1110-010) does not. This is not a version defect on either pair. It is a deliberate design difference between the 2 retros.
Because of this difference, resale platforms cannot merge them into a single listing. They have separate product pages, separate price histories, and separate demand curves.
If you are checking a 2025 pair and the heel tab is missing, that absence is a red flag worth investigating further. If you are checking a 2020 pair, the absence of a heel tab is correct and expected.
This detail also matters for legit-checking. Knowing which pair you own tells you exactly what the heel should look like before you examine it. Our upcoming piece on legit checking will cover a full authentication framework for the Jordan 4.
How to Spot a Fake Black Cat: The Heel-Shape Tell
Legit Grails identifies the heel tab shape as a key authentication tell for a fake versus real Jordan 4 Black Cat. On a genuine pair, the heel tab has a bumpy, pronounced shape. On replica pairs, the heel tab commonly appears flat and compressed.
This check is quick and does not require specialist tools. Hold the heel in your hand and press the tab. A real tab has texture and body. A flat tab is worth a second look.
The heel tell is 1 checkpoint among several. Sole color, material quality, stitching consistency, and box label accuracy all feed into a complete authentication picture. No single tell is a definitive pass or fail on its own.
Size Premiums and How They Shape the Price Range
The 12-month range of $145 to $1,149 for the 2025 pair does not represent what a typical pair trades for. It spans all sizes, all conditions, and all transactions over a full year. Understanding thin sales data and sneaker pricing helps explain why extreme size data points can distort a published range.
Very small sizes (US 6 and under) and very large sizes (US 14 and above) consistently attract premiums above the median. The $1,149 ceiling almost certainly reflects 1 of these, or a dead stock anomaly at a popular size just after launch.
The $145 floor likely reflects a post-restock sale at a mainstream size, possibly in a worn or near-dead stock condition. A mid-size dead stock pair trades in a much narrower band.
Your specific size and condition determine where your pair sits within any published range. A published floor or ceiling is not your price.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Jordan 4 Black Cat do I have?
Find the style code on the box end panel or the tongue tag inside the shoe. CU1110-010 is the 2020 pair. FV5029-010 is the 2025 pair. The 2 codes have no overlap.
Why are there such different prices for the Black Cat online?
The 2020 and 2025 retros are listed as separate products on every resale platform. The price range you see spans all sizes and conditions within each listing. Any figure without a date and a style code attached to it is meaningless for your specific pair.
Did the Foot Locker restock crash the 2025 Black Cat's resale value?
The December 15, 2025 restock compressed the premium on the 2025 pair. As observed on 2026-09-23, the 3-month floor on StockX sat at $212, near the $220 retail price, not below it.
Is the 2006 original worth more than the retros?
Age alone does not determine value. Condition, dead stock status, size, and demand all matter. A worn 2006 pair may trade below a dead stock 2020 pair in a popular size. If you are weighing what to do with the pair you own, the hold, wear, or sell decision framework is a useful starting point.
