Welcome to SNX DLX, your weekly roundup of the best sneakers to hit the internet. This week is a weird one. Not bad weird but sneaker releases tend to reflect the season we are in and these… don’t. In summer we get all sorts of vibrant colors, in fall things get more muted, the holidays get tacky and garish, and here we are in the first full week of fall and we’ve got all sorts of bright and funky color combinations — as if its spring or something!
The silhouettes are also feeling bit random to me, sure you’ve got your standard stuff like Air Maxes, Dunks, and Jordans, but we’re also seeing an Air Pegasus, and a strange multi-pump equipped Reebok MSCHF collaboration. It’s a real grab bag of styles and colorways. So if you’re looking for something a little out of the norm, this is your week!
Let’s dive in to the best sneakers of the week.
Nike Air Max 1 x Familia Pinksicle and Stadium Green
Released in the heart of Hispanic Heritage Month, this link up between Nike and the skatewear brand Familia delivers vibrant colors and a slightly altered design. Rather than the typical leather build, this Air Max sports layers of textiles, giving this sneaker a lot more depth and three-dimensionality.
The colorway features red, pink, beige, green and yellow tones throughout with a multicolored outsole.
The Nike Air Max 1 x Familiar Pinksicle is out now for a retail price of $140. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app.
Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 40 x Familia Pinksicle and Stadium Green
It’s not quite as dope as the Air Max 1 version but we have to shout out Nike’s other collaboration with Familia for utilizing a much less hyped silhouette. This is one for the real Nike heads!
The Zoom Pegasus features the same layered textile design as the Air Max 1 but goes much heavier on the pink. Over the pink base are some splashes of color on the Swoosh, piping, and eyelets. It’s a lot less busy than the Air Max, but still bright and vibrant.
The Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 40 x Familiar Pinksicle and Stadium Green is out now for a retail price of $130. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app.
New Balance 2002R Protection Pack Dark Moss/ Ripstop Eclipse
The New Balance 2002R Protection Pack is here! Of all the releases this week, this is the only one that reflects this seasons color palette with two muted color variations, the Dark Moss and Ripstop Eclipse.
Both sneakers feature a Nylon ripstop upper with sloppy suede overlays over the toe, side panels and heel with a perforated suede heel counter, leather overlays on the tongue all riding atop a NERGY foam midsole.
The sneakers look like you just walked straight out of a spooky forest or a swampy horror movie — you know, in a good way.
This Born X Raised Nike SB Dunk has been highly anticipated for a minute, but the untimely death of Born X Raised founder Chris “Spanto” Printup earlier this summer put the sneakers on hiatus. So as psyched as we are that this sneaker is finally coming out, we can’t help but feel bittersweet about it.
The sneaker features special embroidered details, a thee-dimensional slightly holographic swoosh’s and custom perforated details on the toe box, and a mix of suede and leather. “In Loving Memory” is printed across the laces and the insoles feature an image of the Venice Pavilion, a shoutout to the neighborhood Spanto grew up in.
The Born X Raised x Nike SB Dunk Low is set to drop on September 28th for a retail price of $130. Pick up a pair at Born X Raised or aftermarket sites like GOAT and Flight Club.
Jordan fans are getting a refresh of the legendary Jordan 8 Playoffs. The stealthy black design features a premium unbuckle upper with embroidered details, and a contrasting red and white mudguard that recalls the artwork of Piet Mondrian.
The Jordan 8 frankly doesn’t get enough love so we’re happy to see this legendary pair get a retro refresh.
The Nike Air Jordan 8 Playoffs are set to drop on September 30th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $210. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app or aftermarket sites like GOAT and Flight Club.
We’re going to go ahead and call it here — MSCHF is the best sneaker brand of the year. The art collective has a history of producing interesting sneakers, but this year in particular they’ve been on a roll, launching the Big Red and Yellow Boot, the Super Normal 2 and the BWD, just to name a few, and now this week they’ve linked up with Reebok for the pump-crazy Omni Zone IX.
Equipped with what MSCHF is calling “state-of-the-art BoingBoing” technology, this sneaker is equipped with nine functional pumps for a ‘tailored fit’ and drops in two colorways, a white and sky blue iteration and a washed out sunbleached version. The pumps are a gimmick sure, but the sneaker still manages to look pretty dope and we’re sure it’ll make an appearance at this year’s ComplexCon on the feet of whoever was lucky enough to score a pair.
The MSCHF Reebok Omni Zone IX OG/Sunbleached is set to drop on September 27th for a retail price of $250. Join the raffle to pick up a pair via MSCHF right now.
At the New York premiere of Killers of the Flower Moon on Wednesday, Scorsese praised DiCaprio for his growth as an actor. “He has range, and he keeps growing. He also has a lot of courage, and I know he’ll go to places that other people might pull back from,” the Oscar-winning director told ET Online. “Working with him over the years, he’s been growing as a person — he’s maturing from a young kid to a young man. As he changes in life, he’s changing on film.” Leo has even “settled down” (with a 25-year-old model).
DiCaprio is getting lots of “best performance yet” raves for Killers of the Moon. He didn’t win an Oscar the last time he worked with Scorsese (The Wolf of Wall Street — my pick for his best, and funniest, performance). Maybe this time?
Killers of the Flower Moon, which also stars Lily Gladstone, Jesse Plemons, Tantoo Cardinal, John Lithgow, Brendan Fraser, and De Niro, comes out on October 20th.
Fall flavors have arrived! Pumpkin spice lattes are back, jugs of freshly pressed apple cider are weighing down shelves nationwide, and fall-inspired desserts are the order of the day. Clean Cookin’ is back too, with a brand-new episode – powered by Ecolab Science Certified, that leans into those fall flavors with a delicious apple cherry crisp recipe — alongside some important steps that help keep restaurants cleaner and safer, giving you peace of mind thanks to the Ecolab Science Certified program Nashville country artist Mickey Guyton and celebrity Chef Jamika Pessoa are back in the kitchen and breaking down two things — Guyton’s mom’s apple crisp recipe and how to maintain cleanliness in the kitchen from start to finish.
Chef Pessoa holds true to the number one rule in cooking and baking — start with a clean kitchen, clean hands, and clean produce for a Scientific CleanTM you can count on. Chef Pessoa coaches Guyton through the process of rolling with the punches while fixing mistakes with calm and ease and of course the golden rule of the kitchen — “clean as you go!”
While having a clean cooking area is of the utmost importance, so is making tasty food. Chef Pessoa adds some cherries to the classic apple crisp and has Guyton make some vanilla-laced whipped cream for the topping and it looks incredible! Most importantly, the two chefs ended with a kitchen that was cleaner than when they started. Check out the whole episode above and snag that great apple cherry crisp recipe to make at home this fall!
All good things must come to an end, and this includes middle school, even if your middle school experience isn’t classified as “good.” The seventh and almost-final season of Netflix’s raunchy animated series Big Mouthwill debut next month, and we finally get to see those horny teens head to a better place: high school!
The trailer for the upcoming season shows that these 8th graders are still doing what they do best: masturbating and causing drama, all while still making time to attend second-period gym class. As announced earlier this year, Big Mouth will end with its upcoming eighth season sometime in 2024.
Season seven brings back regular players Nick Kroll, John Mulaney, Jessi Klein, Jason Mantzoukas, and Ayo Edibiri as the misfit group of kids who are just trying to survive adolescence while being tormented by various hormone monsters (voiced by Maya Rudolph). Some new additions this year include Megan Thee Stallion as her own hormone monster, Lupita Nyong’o, Stephanie Beatriz, Zazie Beetz, Zach Galifianakis, Randall Park, Chloe Fineman, Beck Bennett, Zach Woods, and Mark Duplass. It’s like one big high school reunion of funny people. As per the official description:
Season seven of Big Mouth follows the now teenage students of Bridgeton middle school as they make their way to high school. Change is the only constant as each character is faced with a new school, new friends, new adversaries, and new Hormone Monsters.
The penultimate season of Big Mouth premieres on October 20th. Check out the trailer above.
Rootin’ tootin’ Lauren Boebert’s origin story includes receiving her GED mere months before being elected to Congress. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with holding a GED, but the MAGA congresswoman has used her subsequent platform to tear down those with a similar background as her own. Boebert has previously discussed how she was born into a “Democrat household on welfare,” and she doesn’t seem to care that she probably wouldn’t have had food on the table without this assistance. Instead, she looks down upon the practice and is now bragging about her “work ethic.”
This move follows Boebert’s movement back into anti-trans remarks while proposing an amendment to reduce Shawn Skelly’s salary to $1 and accusing him of ruining the military with “wokeism.” This, of course, might be a desperate attempt for Boebert to make everyone stop thinking about her groping scandal or as it is more colloquially known, “Grabbing the hog.”
“I lived under government dependency,” Boebert declared on the House floor in the below clip. “[A]nd I’m thankful that I have broke free of that cycle given my life experiences and developing work ethic”
Boebert: I lived under government dependency and I‘m thankful that I have broke free of that cycle given my life experiences and developing work ethic pic.twitter.com/nh8se5ctNH
Does Boebert realize that she is paid from the wallets of taxpayers and is still technically accepting money (a lot of it) and cushy benefits from the government? She also seems to believe that tweeting, missing important votes (and lying about why), and delivering angry tirades on the House floor counts as a work ethic.
“I have lived under government dependency, yet I proudly represent a party that works daily to dismantle the very programs that I, and millions of others, have been forced to depend on.”
Who’s paying for her grandchild’s healthcare and food? Baby mama delivery? Someone should ask her. She’s literally taking food out of her grandchild’s mouth.
Britney Spears caused some concern with her online activities earlier this week, when she shared a video of herself dancing on Instagram. She does that almost daily, but the catch this time is that she was holding large knives while busting out her moves. She insisted the knives weren’t real, but she appeared to have cuts and injuries in a video shared after the knife clip.
As for the deal with the video, Spears later explained, “Lighten up about the knives I’m copying Shakira !!!,” referring to Shakira’s recent performance at the 2023 Video Music Awards, during which Shakira danced while holding knives. Either way, some were still worried about Spears, to the point that TMZ reports the Los Angeles Police Department did a welfare check on Spears yesterday (September 27).
The publication notes the initial call for the check was made by the LAPD’s Systemwide Mental Assessment Response Team (SMART). While Spears fans have called for welfare checks in the past, this time, the call was apparently made by somebody who “actually had some knowledge of Britney.”
When officers arrived, they were assured Spears was OK by her security, then left. Spears’ attorney called LAPD later in the day to ask about the visit and was assured the officers “only made the visit because the call was made by someone who knew Britney … they don’t make the welfare checks for fan calls.”
Each week our staff of film and TV experts surveys the entertainment landscape to select the ten best new/newish shows available for you to stream at home. We put a lot of thought into our selections, and our debates on what to include and what not to include can sometimes get a little heated and feelings may get hurt, but so be it, this is an important service for you, our readers. With that said, here are our selections for this week.
Fionna and Cake were introduced in a season three episode of the wonderful animated series Adventure Time, and became instant fan favorites. Now, the pair have their own spinoff show, Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake, which finds them on a multiverse-hopping journey towards self-discovery. It looks just as funny, existential, and clever as the original, just with a cat (Cake) instead of a dog (Jake). Whether that’s an improvement is up to you.
LaKeith Stanfield heads into the horror realm in this adaptation of Victor LaValle’s acclaimed novel. The show promises to be a grown-up fairytale begins in a New York City library and heads into a version of the Big Apple that usually remains closed from human eyes. It’s also a parenthood fable, and yes, it truly feels like the scariest horror stories often revolve around kids, whether they happen to be good or evil. Given Stanfield’s ability to showcase the surreal in various other projects, one can bet that this quality adds to the spooks in this series.
Solar Opposites is, in a sense, two shows for the price of one. What a deal! One show is the alien adventures of Korvo (now voiced by Dan Stevens), Terry, Jesse, Yumyulack, and the Pupa, the cutest lil’ guy on television. The other show takes place in The Wall, where humans have been shrunk down and held hostage inside a terrarium. Both are very funny, very weird, and very good. Solar Opposites doesn’t get as much attention as Rick and Morty, but it should.
Rosario Dawson is back as Ahsoka in this spinoff of The Mandalorian, with all the face paint and prosthetics to go along with it. The biggest question here, though, is whether everyone’s favorite little green guy will show up at some point to steal a few scenes and hearts. Fingers crossed.
This intense story, set over several continents, brings us crop circles galore and civilization’s collapse while humanity struggles to pull it together during (as the title suggests) an alien invasion. Naturally, there is a sheriff who gets pulled back from the verge of retirement as soldiers, mission controllers, and civilians everywhere lend their perspectives in this series from Simon Kinberg (several X-Men movies) and David Weil (Citadel, Hunters). The show is back for a second season while the world still struggles to figure what, exactly, is happening in real-time.
The world has been trying to leave Sterling Archer behind for years and years with hilarious results as the spy and his associates have navigated land, sea, and air (and space), often stumbling into calamity while chasing adventure. But now, in its 14th season, the series, with all its ambition and wit, has reached its climax (yes, we are still doing phrasing) and we are here for it, specifically, the final bows of one of the greatest voice casts ever assembled. How will it all end? We can’t wait to find out, but regardless, Archer’s place as one of the best comedies of this century is assured.
Even though there’s been a lot of upheaval at HBO Max/Max and even more so for films and TV shows starring DC characters, at least one supervillainess is safe. Miss Harley (who does not need the Joker for success) was almost pointedly renewed as a clattering of show cancellations and removals swirled. Heck, Kaley Cuoco’s voice even gave us the only Valentine’s Day special worth watching this year. Soon, we might find out whether Bane is still making love to a skyscraper as Harley attempts to get in good with the Bat Family. Quite a contrast there.
The official description of this movie reads as follows: “Two strangers connect on a flight to London, only to be separated by a twist of fate. A reunion seems improbable — but love has a way of defying the odds.” Is this the most original story ever committed to film? Well, no. Should this movie have been titled Love at First Flight? Probably. But could you do a love worst than a sweet little meet-cute starring Haley Lu Richardson from The White Lotus? Definitely. Lots to consider here.
Ryan Murphy’s sick, twisted horror anthology has been a bit of a mixed bag over the years but if there’s anything that can unite the binge-watching masses this Fall it’s Kim Kardashian – first-time actor, lifelong lover of the arts. Kris Jenner’s prodigy is playing a supporting role in this season’s storyline, which can be best summed up as the millennial version of Rosemary’s Baby, while Emma Roberts plays an actress who becomes pregnant and begins to fear that someone (or something) is after her. Demonic symbolism, “hysterical” women, and off-putting wigs – everything you’d expect from a Murphy fright night production is here, it’s just all that much more surreal with Kardashian in the mix.
Sadly, this three-part series will not feature a Keanu Reeves cameo as suggested years ago. This story takes place in the 1970s, long before Wick’s most pivotal pup was even born. As such, this spinoff will focus on the earlier days of the franchise’s assassin-welcoming hotel, where Colin Woodell portrays Winston, who’s attempting to do his day job and also navigate the hellish underbelly of the era’s New York City. If you’re not into the Mel Gibson aspect of this prequel, then perhaps Katie McGrath can sway you to watch as The Adjudicator.
What we have on our hands here is a Bachelor spinoff about an older gentleman looking for love from a group of similarly aged ladies. Which is… honestly kind of adorable. Good for them. And good for us, too, especially if one of the episodes features a date where they eat dinner at a diner at 4:45 and then go watch an episode of Columbo in matching recliners. This was written as a joke but honestly sounds kind of wonderful. That’s true love right there, people.
What we have here is a live-action adaptation of a legendary Japanese manga series about a young pirate and his friends out on the open seas in search of some treasure. It’s been burning up the Netflix charts since its release, and it’s been touted as a feel-good celebration of the innocence of childhood adventure, which, all things considered, does not sound like the worst way to spend a weekend binge. Get in there now before the second season drops.
Seriously, watch this trailer. This is not a fluffy little comedy. Rashida Jones executive produces this adaptation of Zakiya Dalila Harris’ NYT best-selling novel about an editorial assistant is who is overjoyed to no longer be the “only Black girl” at her work place. However, the novelty of newcomer Hazel quickly fades when it becomes apparent that sinister vibes are going down. Spooooky.
Is The Morning Show the best drama on TV in a world absent Better Call Saul and Succession? It might be in the running, but it’s definitely the dramaest drama on TV, leaning on its star power to cut through moments that might be eye-roll-inducing if you weren’t so captivated by the screen presence of Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, Billy Crudup, and Jon Hamm, who joins this season as a handsome version of Elon Musk. Backstabbing, front-stabbing, walk and talks, politics, high tension, and ripped-from-the-headlines storylines all come together, yet again, with our news and media power players moving more fully toward the game of mergers, acquisitions, and boardroom battles where the real prizes can be found.
The only “solo” spinoff of AMC’s post-apocalyptic world is upon us. Daryl is most entertaining character to send to France, and he’s also the least religious of the bunch, which makes it awfully funny to see him hanging with a bunch of nuns after waking up in France like “WTF?” Most of all, though, Daryl earns his “Big Ass Kicker” nickname and we also get a lovely character study of the most loyal and industrious survivor of Rick’s old bunch. The action also delivers, so get ready for crossbows and total chaos at Parisian landmarks. Pssst, we also chose the most essential to watch before this spinoff.
Naked Attraction is a lot like every other dating show. Except for the part where the contestants barely meet each other. And the part where someone chooses a mate based almost entirely on comparing their nude body to a bunch of other also-nude bodies. And the part where there are just a ton of exposed dongs. So… maybe it’s not like the other dating shows you’ve seen. But it sure does exist. Go there now and look if you don’t believe us.
Dan Harmon’s long-gestating cartoon take on Ancient Greece is here. He’s had big success in the world of animation before with both Solar Opposites and Rick and Morty, so there’s reason for optimism even if the reviews of the first few episodes are a little dicey. You have time. Don’t pretend like you don’t. You’re not fooling anyone, Derek. (This works better if your name is Derek.)
The horniest kids in Britain are back and ready to go out with a bang – a lot of banging, actually. The fourth season of this Netflix comedy is set to be its last, but before the goodbyes Otis, Eric, Maeve, Aimee, and the rest of the students from Moordale have some growing up to do. While Maeva studies under an eccentric author in America (hello Dan Levy), Otis and Eric struggle to climb the social hierarchy of their new school – one that’s so progressive, they’ve already filled his position of “student sex therapist.”
Come for the dong jokes, and stay for the dong jokes. Much like The Boys, this spinoff does not skim on the raunch, and it also gives us a whole new roster of Supes who might feel differently about Vought International’s motives. This series seemingly pulls off the impossible by managing to be as appealing as the flagship series without the presence of its most shining and degraded beacon, Homelander. This franchise shows no sign of wearing out or fatiguing its audience as both the MCU and DCU have managed to do, which might be the most heroic feat of all in the present entertainment realm.
Kaitlyn Dever has been killing it since her Justified days (Team Loretta), and her Dopesick, Unbelievable, and Booksmart performances sealed the deal. Here, she stays nearly silent — much harder than it sounds, once you see what she goes through — in this story that puts an extraterrestrial twist on home-invasion horror. Before you watch, be sure to pull those blinds and double lock those doors because you’re in for a hell of a good-scary time
In June, Kim Petras released her Feed The Beast album, which debuted at No. 44 on the Billboard 200. The historic Grammy winner barely let that dust settle before surprising her fans with Problematique, a “previously shelved” album “after partially leaking and leaving fans clamoring for more.” And on Wednesday, September 27, Petras opened her Feed The Beast World Tour in Austin, Texas — the vessel through which she’ll keep her fans plenty fed through early next year.

Ten months after a man’s wife passed away, he finally got the courage to read a letter she left him, which contained a devastating admission. The 4-year-old son they had together may not be his.
“My ‘darling’ wife passed away 10 months ago,” the man wrote on Reddit’s Off My Chest forum. “She wrote a letter for me before she died, but I couldn’t bring myself to read it until now. She told me how sorry she was that she didn’t have the guts to tell me this to my face when she was alive.”
In the letter, the wife revealed that there was a “good chance” that the son he thought was his wasn’t his biological child. A few weeks before their wedding day, the wife got drunk at her bachelorette party and had a one-night stand with another man. Soon after that night, she became pregnant but was unsure who the father was.
The man was torn whether or not to have the paternity test done. The child had only one parent in this world, and he would have to take care of him regardless. He also thought it was cowardly that his former wife would wait until she was no longer around to share the truth with him.
“So she thought she’d rather drop this bomb on my life when I could no longer confront her about it,” the man wrote. “Now that my son would only have one parent looking out for him, and she’d have no idea how I would even react. Maybe I should not have got the paternity test done. Maybe it might be better to live in ignorance. But I just had to know.”
The man took the paternity test and learned he wasn’t the child’s biological father.
“I’m devastated. This doesn’t change how I feel about my son,” he wrote. “He’s my whole world and he’s innocent. But boy, does it hurt. There’s so much going on in my head right now. I haven’t stopped crying. Thank god my son is at my parents’ place for the day. I’d hate for him to see me like this.”
Facing a pain nearly too much for him to bear, the only outlet he had at the moment was reaching out to Reddit to find some solace. “I just needed to let this all out. Don’t have it in me to tell anyone in my life about this right now,” he wrote.
The commenters send him hundreds of messages of support to get him through the shock of first learning the truth about his family.
The most popular message was straightforward and honest. “All your feelings are valid, a lot of people will react with some kind of toxic positivity to things like these. Your feelings are valid. Each and everyone,” femunndsmarka wrote.
Another commenter added that someday, his son will appreciate how he stepped up and did what was right in a very trying circumstance. “He is going to find out the truth one day. Imagine how much more he will love you knowing you didn’t leave him, even though he wasn’t yours,” ImNotGoodatThis6969.
Another commenter provided valuable insight from the son’s perspective.
“As an adopted child, I just want to thank you on behalf of your son. I deeply believe it changes nothing, family is not about blood, its about who you love, want to have by your side, and care for the most. Sending hugs, strength and gratitude,” Mariuuq wrote.
The father at the heart of this story is understandably devastated because his life was upended almost overnight. But the hope in the story is that his trials also taught him a powerful truth—his love for his son goes much deeper than blood.
Amazon delivery drivers don’t have the easiest job in the world. Sitting through traffic, working in extreme temperatures, hauling boxes … not exactly a fun time. So when a driver goes out of their way to be extra considerate—people notice.
One delivery driver has gone viral for the way she delivered a little bit of safety education, along with some lighthearted advice. The TikTok video of the encounter, which now has more than 4 million views, was shared by Jessica Huseman, who had only recently moved into her new house.
The clip shows the doorbell cam recording of the driver approaching the house. As the delivery driver makes it to the front door, she sings, ”Hello … I hope your Monday’s going well. You have no markers on your house that says what number you are.”
From there, the driver’s song quickly changes tune, going from funny jest to helpful PSA.
“And that is hard to find your house my dude, and it’s unsafe, honestly,” the driver continues, adding, “what if you needed medical assistance and the paramedics didn’t know your town well? Come on.”
“Have a great day!” she says happily before walking off.
Huseman added the caption: “We just moved in and this happened today… she’s not wrong though. Guess I need to get some house numbers.”
The driver’s observation was clearly on point. Several medical pros commented to back her up.
“As someone who works in EMS I can verify house numbers are necessary! BUT ALSO MAKE SURE THEY ARE EASILY VISIBLE FROM THE STREET AT NIGHT,” wrote one person.
Another replied, ”yes! Medic here, we’ve had to call dispatch and ask for them to get [the] caller back on the phone and get [the] description of [the] house because there [are] no numbers.”
Besides her information being vital, people were mostly in love with the driver’s friendly attitude. Here are just a few of the compliments:
“Honestly, give them a raise. That’s awesome vibes right there.”
“She’s a whole friken mood, I love her she gives me pink vibes.”
“I need to meet this Amazon driver!!!! I love her!!”
The delivery driver (named Kelsey) eventually saw her viral video and decided to do a follow-up, where she added other unsafe things she’s seen on the job—primarily unclear entrances and exits—along with an additional sweet message:
“Crisis management and prevention education is essential and literally a part of my soul. So anytime I do go out and deliver packages … if I see something, I say something. Cause that’s how bystander intervention works. But keeping in mind that it’s more than that. It is about reminding each other that we are enough, and being there for one another.”
Whether it’s packages or something to smile about, Kelsey is a master of delivery.
