While Michael Jordan was creating special moments in the Air Jordan XI on the court, his fans were wearing it off the hardwood to celebrate occasions. With the original design inspiration and use of patent leather, the silhouette’s cultural adoption as an acceptable substitute for a formal shoe wasn’t a surprise.
Like many Air Jordans, the XI has added chapters to its history authored by the community’s style and passion for the brand.
The new Cap and Gown colorway recognizes the Air Jordan XI’s unique place at graduation ceremonies and complements them with upgraded materials including a suede upper, metal Jumpman logo and laces inspired by graduation cords.
This is the ideal shoe to wear to any formal occasion, whether is be a wedding, prom, or graduation. The Air Jordan XI Cap and Gown releases globally May 26 on jordan.com and at select retailers.
