Elevated Design Details of the Air Jordan 6 “Cap & Gown”

For a sneaker that’s equally at home at a pickup game and at a formal event, look to this spring’s Air Jordan 6 release, “Cap & Gown.” The seasonal colorway takes the sleek black suede colorway of the Air Jordan Retro 13 “Cap & Gown” and applies it to the more casual Air Jordan 6 silhouette.

In addition to the supple black suede upper, this shoe features a contrasting reflective silver piping, as well as sleek 3M silver accents on the midsole and heel. The iconic Jumpman logo can be spotted in silver on the sole, tongue and lace lock. It’s truly a shoe for all occasions, with a formal “toe-to-head” appeal that’s ready for even the fanciest affair.

To get your hands on the Jordan 6 “Cap & Gown,” you can expect to drop $225 for adult sizes on release day. Past “Cap & Gown” colorways have been highly coveted, so expect competition if you want to get hold of these sneakers in time for graduation.
