Air Jordan 11 Retro "Cap & Gown"

With its use of patent leather, the Air Jordan 11 has always had a dressed-up look, making it a frequent choice for formal occasions. In 2018 Jordan Brand recognized the shoe’s special place at graduations with the Air Jordan 11 “Cap and Gown” to add even more shine to the big day. The special colorway features an all-black treatment with premium details, including a suede base, metallic Jumpman logos, and laces resembling graduation cords.

Signature Patent Leather Rand: Features a high-gloss patent leather mudguard that wraps around the entire shoe, providing both a "tuxedo-ready" look and structural support to prevent the foot from rolling.

Ballistic Mesh Upper: Most iterations utilize a durable, lightweight Cordura nylon or ballistic mesh that offers breathability and a flexible fit.

Webbed Lacing System: A unique "speed-lacing" setup using nylon webbing loops that provides a secure, lockdown fit across the midfoot.

Full-Length Air-Sole Unit: Equipped with an encapsulated, full-length Air-Sole unit for consistent, responsive cushioning from heel to toe.

Phylon Midsole: A full-length Phylon foam carrier houses the Air unit, providing a stable and comfortable ride.

Translucent Outsole: A clear (or "icy") rubber outsole offers a premium look and high-traction grip on various surfaces.
