Another year, more sweltering heat from the two biggest brands in the sneaker game, Nike and Jordan. So we’ve hand-picked the drops that fans just can’t miss.
Footwear has never been more in fashion with brands re-releasing all-time classics, delivering alternative designs and creating brand new looks.
Nike and Jordan in particular are at the top of the sneaker game and are set to drop some of the greatest shoes we’ve seen in some time.
So far there seems to be a lot of collaborations happening in 2023, with Nike announcing a partnership with high-class jewellery brands, blockbuster movies and A-list celebrities.
So here are a few anticipated releases for the sneaker community to lookout for in 2023.
Nike Air Force 1 Low – ‘Tiffany and Co’
Release Date: March 7
Nike is undefeated when it comes to collaborations and they’ve nailed it again with their latest combo with jewellery brand Tiffany and Co.
The all-black suede material on the Air Force 1 isn’t a new look, however, the Tiffany and Co inspired blue swoosh has fans eager to get their hands on a pair.
Air Jordan 3 – Reimagined ‘White Cement’
Release Date: March 11
This concept is Jordan’s attempt at throwing it back to the original look of the Air Jordan 3’s when they were released in 1988.
The ‘reimagined’ title was used in 2022 by the Jordan Brand on one of their most popular releases so expect the same here.

Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low ‘Olive’
Release Date: March 23
Does Travis Scott ever miss with his collaborations with Nike or Jordan? It doesn’t look like it, as the superstar rapper is back again in 2023 with another instant classic.
Back once again on this design is his signature reverse Nike swoosh which has always stood out from the pack.
Air Jordan 11 Low Women’s – ‘Yellow Python’
Release Date: May 11
The Jordan 11 lows have been becoming more and more popular over the past few years and they’re back again with a bright yellow snakeskin pattern later in 2023.
With plenty of small but significant details including a semi-translucent bottom and numerous ‘Jumpman’ logos across the shoe, it’s expected that these will be a hot commodity.
Air Jordan 1 High OG ‘Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’
Release Date: May 20
This will be Jordan Brand’s second joint with SpiderMan and although they aren’t as ‘Chicago’ as the last pair, they will still be incredibly popular.
Following suit from the previous release in 2018, the Spider-Verse design has elements of a comic book design crossed with the ‘dotted’ graphic pattern used in the movies.
