2023 looks to be yet another promising year for Nike and Jordan Brand as rumors and first looks at their upcoming lineups continue to excite the sneaker world. One of the latest to emerge, the Air Jordan 11 is set to remix its iconic “Cool Grey” by utilizing its low-top style in a new “Cement Grey” colorway.Balancing “White,” “University Blue” and “Cement Grey,” the color scheme offers a familiar approach to the Air Jordan 11 Low. Its mesh upper favors white, including with its signature lacing system and accompanying laces. Its titular color hits both the trim and standard patent leather mudguard while a white midsole is joined by an icy translucent outsole. Completing the look, standard branding is included in blue and white with blue Jumpman logos at the heel and tongue next to Air Jordan 11 references in white.Currently, the Air Jordan 11 Low “Cement Grey” is scheduled to release April 1 via Nike and select retailers at a price of $190 USD. Enjoy a first look at the pair above and stay tuned for official release information as its April launch date approaches.In other footwear news, the Air Jordan 5 “Mars for Her” has popped up in a color scheme similar to the popular “Raging Bulls” look.

Hender Scheme never officially announces which sneaker has influenced its Manual Industrial Products line, but for Spring/Summer 2023 the references are crystal clear, delivering its take on a style that’s very close to the New Balance 991. And while this is the star of the show this season, the Japanese footwear pioneer has plenty more styles up its sleeve, serving up a bevy of premium leather classics, newcomers, and even some bags and homeware pieces.For the MIP shoe that’s definitely not a 991, Hender Scheme uses its naturally tanned leather to construct a sneaker comprising various undulating, overlapping, and curvaceous panels. Padding is found in abundance on the interior, while the sole unit keeps up with the natural leather theme.As for the rest of the SS23 drop, Ryo Kashiwazaki designs sandals trimmed in leather and leopard print faux fur, a variety of sandals, pointed strap mules and a standout pair of embroidered mules, as well as formal shoes in white. Alongside this, you’ll find accessories such as wallets on key chains and accompanying charms, net bags, and larger carrying options decorated with Western leather fringing. Vases and a tool pouch round things off.Hender Scheme SS23 drops on December 3 online and at the brand’s Sukima store, as well as at retailers across Japan. A wider release around the globe will come later on in December. Take a closer look at everything above.For more luxe footwear, check out the all-new sneaker from Our Legacy, dubbed Gabe.
