This Week’s Best Sneakers, Feat. The Kobe 6 Protro "Dodgers" & More

1 week 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

3 weeks 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?

3 weeks 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"

4 weeks 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

4 weeks 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.
Here Are The 10 Best Additive-Free Tequilas To Sip This Cinco De Mayo

1 month ago | uproxx.com | Dane Rivera

Happy Cinco de Mayo! Is it safe to say Cinco de Mayo is America’s favorite underdog holiday to celebrate, even though 95% of people celebrating it don’t know the significance of the holiday? Now granted, there is a case to be made that July 4th is technically the ultimate underdog’s holiday, being that it marks the formal declaration of independence from the British Empire, but what sounds better? Hot dogs, hot weather and fireworks, or tequila, Mexican beer and tacos at the height of spring?
Taco Bell’s New Chicken Nuggets Blind Taste Tested Against 3 Classics

1 month ago | uproxx.com | Dane Rivera

For one week last year, Taco Bell introduced chicken nuggets to its menu, and quite frankly, it was a weird move. People don’t associate chicken with Taco Bell, and for good reason, so when I’d mention the nuggets to friends or family, they’d all instantly recoil at the thought. These couldn’t possibly be good, right? Initially, we wrote them off as little more than an interesting — and surprisingly tasty — novelty.

Concert tickets, new clothes, wellness hacks, sneakers, a Nintendo Switch 2 — there are no shortage of cool things this summer that you can be spending your money on, but if you’re in the habit of checking your bank app often only to wonder how you’re going to pay for everything, have you considered how much you’re spending on food?
