The school year is halfway through, but Jordan is already thinking like a second-semester senior, daydreaming of warm spring days, diplomas, and tossing flat-topped graduation caps in the air. Keeping up a long-running series of luxurious black retro colorways fancy enough for a graduation ceremony, the Air Jordan 6 Cap and Gown is draped in enough premium material that even your grandparents might approve of it as a pair of dress shoes.
The Air Jordan 6 Cap and Gown starts with a base of black nubuck across the entire upper, with shiny soft satin black patches added on the toe, lace, side panels, and tongue stabilizer. Each satin window is surrounded by reflective white piping to match the reflective grey accents on the jagged midsole. Another reflective piece is added to the heel tab.
Jordan introduced the Cap and Gown collection in 2018 with a pair of premium black patent leather 11s, followed by a Cap and Gown black colorway of the Air Jordan 13 the following year. Since then, Jordan has been quiet on the Cap and Gown front, but this year, the theme returns with the black 6 in time for those celebratory stage walks.
The Air Jordan 6 Cap and Gown will be released April 30, 2026 through Nike and select Jordan retailers in-store and online. Available in a full-family size run, the retail prices are set at $215 (men), $155 (GS), $95 (PS), and $85 (TD).
