The Air Jordan 11 has always known how to dress up, and this weekend it gets two new closets to choose from. Comme des Garçons' take on the sneaker arrives in a strict all-white and a strict all-black colorway, no in-between, no extra noise on the leather. It is the kind of release that will have sneaker rooms from Los Angeles to Miami debating which shade reads more formal. The collaboration had been expected later, but both pairs go on sale this weekend.

With reporting from WWD.
