Spring is right around the corner and it shows in the designs that brands are offering for April 2023! We have gathered the ten pairs of shoes that should be the most sought-after in the coming weeks. Check out an overview of the different models that could complement your collection as well as the drops you should not miss!
Nike Dunk Low "Kentucky Alternate"
The Swoosh brand keeps going strong, unveiling yet more colorways for its iconic Nike Dunk Low. This new version draws inspiration from the Nike Dunk Low "Kentucky", which made its comeback in 2020 and was also expected to return last November alongside the Nike Dunk Low "Syracuse". However, that release ultimately never materialized. You can console yourself by trying to cop the Nike Dunk Low "Kentucky Alternate"!
The white leather base is complemented by blue elements in the University of Kentucky colors, along with a tonal white Swoosh. The usual details such as the embroidery on the heel tab, the branding on the tongue and the two-tone sole are all present on the design, which should appeal to fans of the lowtop.
The Nike Dunk Low "Kentucky Alternate" releases on April 4, 2023 at a price of €110 on Nike and at select retailers.

Following the drop of the Air Jordan 3 Retro "White Cement Reimagined", which reprises the original design of the 1988 OG version, Jordan Brand has decided to add the famous "Lucky Green" colorway to its lineup. We hope its name brings you luck for the cop, ladies!
Naturally, this new edition of the Air Jordan 3 features the signature elephant print on the mudguard and the lateral heel reinforcement. The green accents are subtle, appearing only on the eyelets and the TPU element on the heel. Finally, a cream midsole revealing the Air unit completes this spring-ready pair.

The colorway name for this collaboration between the American rapper and New Balance is no coincidence! Baklava is a Middle Eastern pastry that Action Bronson wanted to pay tribute to, as a nod to his Albanian roots. He chose to give the New Balance 990v6 a bold new look packed with color, making it truly unique.
Crafted with premium materials, the shoe combines mesh, suede and leather elements in contrasting tones. On the thick and comfortable 990v6 sole, several shades of blue can be spotted, resulting in a multicolor and eye-catching finish.
The Action Bronson x New Balance 990v6 collaboration will be available on April 25 on New Balance at a price of €250.
