FAQs
Can these be worn as basketball shoes?
While based on a basketball silhouette, the 'Cap and Gown' edition is designed primarily as a lifestyle sneaker due to its premium material construction.
How do I clean the patent leather part?
Wipe it down with a slightly damp, soft cloth after every wear to keep it shiny and free of fingerprints.
Are these true to size?
The Air Jordan 11 generally fits true to size, but individuals with wider feet may prefer a half-size up for extra comfort.
How do I care for the suede?
Use a soft brush to remove dust and a suede-specific eraser for light marks. Keep them away from heavy rain.
What is the inspiration behind these shoes?
The design is inspired by 'Cap and Gown' graduation attire, featuring rope laces and an all-black theme to mimic formal graduation gear.
Troubleshooting
Scuff marks on the patent leather
Use a specialized patent leather cleaner and a soft cloth to buff out surface scuffs gently.
Water spots on the suede
Allow the suede to air dry naturally, then use a suede eraser or brush to restore the nap of the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Jordan 11s remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft microfiber cloth to wipe the patent leather sections daily to prevent dust buildup. Use a dedicated suede brush for the upper material.
- Storage: Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the patent leather to fade or crack over time.
- Protection: Apply a water-repellent spray specifically designed for suede to protect against unexpected spills, ensuring you test a small, inconspicuous area first.
- Lace Care: The signature rope laces should be kept clean; if they become soiled, hand-wash them with mild soap and air dry completely before re-threading.
