This Week’s Best Sneakers, Feat. The Jordan 11 Igloo And More!

3 weeks ago | uproxx.com | Dane Rivera

Welcome to SNX DLX, your weekly roundup of the best sneakers to hit the internet. We’re back with a super-sized SNX this week, with eight notable drops across the three big brands. Last year, a list of eight was commonplace, an average we could rely on, but this year has proven to be all over the place. Which makes SNX even more vital than ever, we’re committed to bringing only the best of the best across your desk (or more accurately, across whatever device you’re reading this on).
This Week’s Best Sneakers, Feat. The Kobe 6 Protro "Dodgers" & More

4 weeks ago | uproxx.com | Dane Rivera

Welcome to SNX DLX, your weekly roundup of the best sneakers to hit the internet. It’s another week that feels tailor-made for Nike fans. Rare SB Dunks variants, an alternate universe take on the Jordan 3, a new take on the Jordan 1 Chicago, and an LA-inspired Game Royal Kobe Protro 6? It’s like Christmas in late spring if you’re a Swoosh-loyalist. That’s great news for Nike heads, and sad news for just about everyone else.

This Week’s Best Sneakers, Feat. The Jordan 12 White & University Blue

1 month ago | uproxx.com | Dane Rivera

Welcome to SNX DLX, your weekly roundup of the best sneakers to hit the internet. After two ultra-heavy drop weeks in a row, we’re glad to see things calm down just a bit this week with just six notable drops. There aren’t any huge brand collaborations or ultra-limited drops, so if you’re looking for a respite from the stress of hunting the hottest sneakers, you’ll be glad to know that there aren’t any must-haves or best sneaker of the year candidates this week.
We Tried McDonald’s McCrispy Strips - Are They Better Than McNuggets?

1 month ago | uproxx.com | Dane Rivera

Remember McDonald’s Chicken Selects? I’ll confess that I don’t. But for years, fans of the Golden Arches have been asking to bring back these chicken strips. The Chicken Selects were the same chicken used in McDonald’s discontinued Snack Wrap, which I have a vague memory of eating. But both of those menu items have been off the menu for 12 years. 12 years in fast food feels impossibly long, so the fact that so many people are itching for the return of the Chicken Selects fascinates me.
We Spoke With UnheardOf Founder About The Adidas "Grandma’s Couch 2"

1 month ago | uproxx.com | Dane Rivera

Grandma’s Couch is getting a sequel! A couple of years back, Adidas linked up with the Cincinnati-based streetwear boutique, UnheardOf, for a special take on the Rivalry Lo silhouette, dubbed “Grandma’s Couch.” The sneaker was inspired by UnheardOf owner Phil Lipschutz’s grandma, Naomi Phillips, with a floral upper design pattern that took its design cues from Naomi’s couch, a respite for Lipschutz and his friends in his youth between skate sessions.
This Week’s Best Sneakers, Featuring The AJ-1 UNC Reimagined & More

1 month ago | uproxx.com | Dane Rivera

Welcome to SNX DLX, your weekly roundup of the best sneakers of the week. For five months now, we’ve been finding excuses and justifications for why this year in sneakers feels so uneventful. Our thinking was that the big brands were responding to an oversaturation of the market, focusing on quality drops rather than quantity. It really felt like that was the trend until these last two weeks.
