Best Sneaker Releases March 2023

March 30, 2023|Nicholas Vlahos

Some of the best sneaker releases so far dropped in March. From classic silhouettes to bold new designs, March had something for everyone.

Kicking off the month we saw A Ma Maniere finally release their Air Jordan 12 Pack that had been teased for months. Jordan Brand didn’t stop there, either. Taking us all back to 1987, the Air Jordan 3 Reimagined “White Cement” hit shelves and sold out almost as soon as they were put up for sale. On top of this, Nike SB and Jordan Brand teamed back up, this time on the Air Jordan 4.

Heading to Nike Sportswear, the label teamed up with Supreme, Tiffany, and Corteiz on the Air Bakin, Air Force 1, and Air Max 95, respectively. All three of these came perfectly executed to match each collaborator's design language and were some of the highlights of the month of March.

Don’t forget the slew of Air Max models that were released this month as March is home to “Air Max Day.” Alongside the Premium renditions of “Corduory Blue” and “Shima Shima,” NSW dropped the Air Max 1 ‘86 OG “Sport Red” which called back to the original “Big Bubble” design that was quickly pulled off shelves in 1987. This marked the first time this design has returned.

While we could continue to go on and on with releases from brands like New Balance, Vans, and Puma, we’ve compiled a full list of the best sneaker releases in March 2023 below. All of March’s sneaker releases can be found on StockX, where all products are guaranteed to be StockX Verified.

Originally rocked by MJ prior to the introduction of the Air Jordan line, the Nike Air Ship has forever held a place in the history of Jordan Brand. Throughout the last year or so we’ve seen various two-tone colorways hit shelves and March 2023 featured a clean “Pine Green” color scheme. While no solid Nike release occurred, we saw plenty of retailers across the globe drop this pair.

No doubt one of the hottest releases for March 2023.

A silhouette that fell to the wayside, the Nike Air Bakin saw a return with help from everyone’s favorite streetwear label Supreme in March 2023.

While not overtly stated, Nike allowed James Whitner to help design the latest colorways of the Nike Air Foamposite One that came as a part of the “Dream A World” Pack. Seen in “Grey” and “Black” colorways, the model’s paint stroke-like design and inspirational backstory make this a unique take on the 90s basketball model. A great way to kickstart 2023’s revival of the classic Air Foamposite One.

Michael Jordan’s alma mater, the University of North Carolina, has served as inspiration for countless Nike and Jordan releases over the years. Though not exactly like the highly-coveted PE version, the Air Jordan 5 “UNC” launched in March 2023 to much fanfare.

A legendary collaboration, Nike and famed NYC-based jeweler Tiffany & Co. officially teamed up on a publicly available sneaker via the Air Force 1 Low silhouette.

Though not exactly an OG colorway on the Air Max 97, the “Golden Bullet” made a return in 2023 that plays directly into the theme of the original “Silver Bullet” release from 1997. Surely a pair that will turn heads with its metallic gold appearance throughout the entire upper.

Officially dubbed the BTTYS “Oregon” colorway, this Nike Dunk Lows close resemblance to the fan favorite “Brazil” caused many to name this the “Reverse Brazil” colorway.

A classic making a return after a 2018 retro, the Air Jordan 3 “White Cement” hit shelves through the lens of Jordan Brand’s “Reimagined” series on March 11th, 2023.

Those who are just getting into sneakers or OG heads need to have this pair in the collection as its historical significance in sneaker culture cannot be understated.

Well, Nike thought so and dug into the archives to revive the Nike Air Zoom Generation.

Always having a keen eye for design and collaboration, Ronnie Fieg was able to partner up with adidas through his collaborative “Clarks 8th Street” initiative and combine Clarks’ iconic Crepe sole with the ever-popular adidas Samba. Released in three colorways, the demand for the three-pack was so high that Fieg and co. offered pre-orders on the sneakers once the raffle winners from the Kith-exclusive release scooped up the pairs.

With the gorpcore trend as strong as ever, Salomon continues to reign supreme in the footwear side of this fashion style.
