Jordan Brand continues its graduate-inspired collection with the Air Jordan 6 “Cap and Gown” dropping in Summer 2026. Following the footsteps of prior upgrades to all-Black finishes, this new AJ6 redesign steps up with reflective accents and metallic embellishments.
Jordan Brand first launched the “Cap and Gown” collection in 2018 with the Air Jordan 11, which was also a popular release for its glossy black patent leather finish. The following year, 2019, saw the “Cap and Gown” Air Jordan 13 take the place of the hologram, favoring a “23” badge instead. Each release has provided fans with a sleek and sophisticated sneaker to wear at graduations, ceremonies, and everyday life.
The upcoming Air Jordan 6 edition is no different as it follows the same blacked-out formula, with a few edgier upgrades. Silver accents are found on the midsole and heel spoiler, while reflective piping is featured along the upper for a touch of contrast. A matte black outsole finishes off the understated yet sleek look.
Sneakerheads will also take interest in the deeper significance behind the model, as Michael Jordan wore the Air Jordan 6 to help win his first NBA Championship back in 1991.
Air Jordan 6 Cap and Gown Release Date
