Editor’s Notes: The all-black Air Jordan 11s are a fancier update of the Jordan staple, paying homage to the formalwear surroundings the kicks are sometimes rocked in.

With a black suede upper and patent mudguard, these Jordans are smart AF, and will transfer from a day to evening look with ease. The official “Cap and Gown” title is apt, especially as it nods to their end-of-school-year release date. Obviously, that means they’re perfect for any soon-to-be graduates looking to outshine their peers.

You’ll probably want to snag two pairs, especially as (according to Kicks on Fire) only 50,000-100,000 units are due to go on sale.
