First teased in 2011 as a sample of the Air Jordan Blackout Collection, a massive 7 years before the Air Jordan 11 Retro Cap and Gown was finally released to the public in 2018. The shoe's name ‘Cap and Gown' refers to the formal look, designed to be worn for occasions such as graduation ceremonies even with its laces being inspired by graduation cords. Painted in a ‘Triple Black’ colour scheme, this kick swaps out the Jordan 11’s conventional mesh upper with premium nubuck. Adding to this, the crep boasts a higher cut patent leather which is also done in ‘Black’, and is rounded off with a ‘Blue’ tinted outsole for added contrast. A shoe built with a ceremony in mind you can't argue its pageantry.
