Best Women’s General Releases of 2023 (That Aren‘t Pink)

It’s been a busy six months so far in the world of sneakers, and it’s officially time to unpack the best women’s GR drops of 2023 so far – but with a catch! With so many sneakers on the market right now, it’s apparent that brands are paying more attention to their women’s categories, even releasing iterations that don’t look like the ‘traditional idea’ of a women’s colourway – win! While we hopefully move towards a sneakerspace with extended size runs being the regular schedule of play, releases that prioritise women (which also prioritise those on the smaller end of the shoe size scale) is definitely a step in the right direction. Without further ado, check out the best women’s GRs of the year so far – that aren’t pink!

Nike Air Max 1 CO.JP (Michigan)

This year Nike have ensured that they’re keeping their women’s offering bolstered with a number of Air Max 1s. So far we’ve seen the ‘Safari’-wearing ‘Summit White’, the wild ‘Great Indoors’, the ‘Coconut Milk’ and that’s just a few of them. Leading the pack has been the CO.JP categorised ‘Michigan’, a premium pair featuring a mix of ‘Midnight Navy’ and ‘Varsity Maize’. Constructed with buttery smooth leather uppers, the ‘Michigan’ colourway is accented with snakeprint Swooshes. Sticking to its name, CO.JP branding can be found on the insoles and leather liners. Overall, this is an epic women’s-exclusive Air Max 1 release.
