3) Women's Nike Air Jordan 3 Black Gold
The Swoosh label and the Jordan brand have been focusing on women's silhouettes in recent times, and now the label is giving its esteemed Air Jordan 3 silhouette a women's makeover in hues of black and gold. The pair received its initial imagery in June 2022, and is finally slated to be released in early October.
The pair's upper is clad in black over the leather material, which is contrasted by gold hues on the collars and tongues. The description of the shoe on the official site reads:
"Set the gold standard with the Air Jordan 3. An all-time favorite, this fresh colorway adds to the legacy with shimmering hits of Metallic Gold against a heritage backdrop of Black and Cement Grey. Energetic Fire Red details heat up your look while a fleecy lining delivers extra warmth for the season."
The Cement Grey hue is added over the detailing on the upper and outsoles, while the "Fire Red" accentuates the Jumpman logo on the tongue, eyestays, and the sockliners. The sail, air-infused midsole finishes off the look. The Air Jordan 3 Black Gold can be availed via SNKRS on October 6, 2022, at a retail price of $200.

The swoosh and jumpman logo offers a Light Orewood Brown colorway over the Air Jordan 11 Low IE silhouette. The official site introduces the shoe as follows:
"Let's cut to the chase—the AJ11 is all-time. MJ won 72 games and a title while wearing 'em. Now, dressed in Light Orewood Brown and Neutral Grey with a low-top collar, the icon has returned. This edition has a mixed material upper, combining canvas, leather and synthetic leather to deliver premium off-court style."
The Neutral Grey, White, and Cement Grey hues combine to form a minimalistic upper, which is constructed out of multiple materials, creating a layered and covered look with the ventilation. It also has a few hits of light brown shade.
