Month: July 2025

Welcome to SNX DLX, your weekly roundup of the best sneakers to hit the internet. Except for Halloween and Valentine’s Day, sneaker brands don’t really mess with holidays, so when we took a peek at this week’s calendar of sneaker releases, we were shocked that so many gems are quietly dropping. Now, granted, this is one of our shortest roundups of the year, but we wouldn’t be able to forgive ourselves if we didn’t put sneakers like the AF-1 Mamba or the White and Silver Jordan 3 on your radar.

Expect things to pick back up again next week. For now, here are the best sneakers dropping this week, let’s dive in!

Nike Air Force 1 Low Mamba Triple White

Price: $120

From now until the end of the year, Nike is planning on dropping multiple Kobe Bryan-inspired Air Force 1 silhouettes, and the brand is kicking off that initiative with this Triple White colorway. This sneaker features an all-white leather upper and at first glance it looks like a regular AF-1 but if you look closely you can see a subtle all-over snakeskin print with Kobe’s Sheath logo branding on the heel.

Unlike a lot of the recent Kobe-themed sneakers out of Nike this year, this one is wonderfully subtle.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low Mamba is out now for a retail price of $120. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app or aftermarket sites like GOAT and Flight Club.

Adidas Dame X

Price: $90

Damian Lillard’s tenth Adidas signature has landed! The Dame X sports a textile upper and lining with 3D printed accents, multidirectional traction, and a Lightstrike midsole. The debut colorway features a mix of Lime, Blue, and Signal Coral with black accents. It’s bold, bright, and designed to be lightweight and performance-focused. Another winner for Dame!

The Adidas Dame X is out now for a retail price of $90. Pick up a pair via the Adidas CONFIRMED app.

Nike Air Jordan 3 White and Silver

Price: $205

We’re not about to throw any shade toward the Triple AF-1 Mamba, but we’re puzzled why Nike felt the need to cannibalize its own sales with this White and Silver Jordan 3. It’s fresh, simple, and elegant, with a leather upper, subtle silver accents, and a nubuck elephant print. Rounding out the design are some embroidered accents.

We don’t envy the people who are going to have to choose between the AF-1 and this Jordan 3!

The Nike Air Jordan 3 White and Silver is out now for a retail price of $205. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app or aftermarket sites like GOAT and Flight Club.

Nike x Kool-Aid Ja 2

Price: $135
No, you’re not the only one, this sneaker definitely looks insane, but there is always room for garish design in the sneaker space, and while this isn’t our favorite Ja 2 every released, it’s definitely noteworthy, and we suspect it is going to have a life well beyond this year.

The Tropical Punch Ja 2 is, for some reason, inspired by Kool-Aid. Why? We have no idea, but apparently Ja Morant is a big fan of Tropical Punch Kool-Aid, and why shouldn’t Nike make a shoe for an audience of one? Especially when that one person has their name attached to the shoe.

The sneaker features a crushed wall graphic behind the swoosh — a reference to the Kool-Aid man — with a tinted blue outsole, and condensation droplets throughout the design. It’s truly nuts, but we love it for that!

The Nike x Kool-Aid Ja 2 Tropical Punch is out now for a retail price of $135. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app or aftermarket sites like GOAT and Flight Club.

Nike SB Dunk Low Pro Dark Team Red and Olive Flak

Price: $120

The summer sneaker season is all about bright and bold colors — but this Dark Team Red and Olive Flak SB Dunk Pro is an antidote to that trend, offering up something warm and moody to stand in stark contrast with everything else coming out right now.

The sneaker features a suede upper with a leather swoosh, a padded collar, Air Zoom cushioning, and warm, rich, and earthy tones. If you’re not about the summer trends, this Dunk Pro is a must cop.

The Nike SB Dunk Low Pro Dark Team Red and Olive Flak is out now for a retail price o $120. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app.

Nestled in the breathtaking Wasatch Mountains, the new Grand Hyatt Deer Valley is redefining luxury in one of North America’s premier alpine destinations. This 436-room mountain retreat seamlessly blends modern elegance with rugged adventure, offering oversized accommodations, world-class hospitality, and unparalleled access to Deer Valley’s newest ski terrain. Whether you arrive for a powder-packed winter getaway or a sun-filled summer escape, the Grand Hyatt Deer Valley delivers an elevated experience that captures the essence of high-altitude indulgence. Dare I say it even gives Aspen a run for its money?

Deer Valley has long been synonymous with pristine slopes, first-class service, and an uncompromising commitment to luxury, and Grand Hyatt Deer Valley takes that reputation to new heights. Expansive windows frame panoramic mountain views, while warm, sophisticated interiors provide the perfect retreat after a day on the slopes (or on your way to Apres Ski, because we don’t judge). With premier slope side access, this alpine sanctuary is already becoming the crown jewel of Deer Valley’s ever-evolving luxury landscape.

PS: if the skiing in Deer Valley is good enough for the 2034 Olympics, it’s good enough for you.

WHY IT’S AWESOME:

The Grand Hyatt Deer Valley is just the beginning of something even bigger—phase one of the new East Village, a development that promises to take this alpine retreat to the next level. Among the exciting additions is the hotel’s luxurious spa, set to open in June. But that’s just the start—the expansion will more than double the resort’s skiable terrain, introducing 17 new lifts, including a state-of-the-art gondola for effortless mountain access. Prefer to skip the ski route? No problem. The resort’s complimentary shuttle runs nearly every hour, making it effortless to explore everything Deer Valley has to offer.

For those who appreciate art as much as après-ski, the hotel has curated a stunning collection of locally commissioned pieces that celebrate Park City’s rich history and culture. This gallery collective showcases works from Park City Fine Art, Pando Fine Art, The Prospect Gallery, and more—each piece adding a distinctive touch to the hotel’s visual storytelling and immersive luxury experience.

IN-HOUSE FOOD + DRINK:

Dining outlets are in no shortage here, with four on-site dining options. Dinner at Remington Hall is a must as are their Parker House Rolls. I’ve never paid $14 for bread at dinner, but rest assured they are worth every penny. They have a stellar collection of custom cocktails, including the Espresso Martini, which was classic and bold, and ranks right up there with the best of them.

Another pricey experience that cannot, I repeat cannot, be missed is High Chocolate in the Living Room. Pinkies up when sipping your $39 Hot Chocolate (to be fair, it’s a $25 craft-made hot chocolate with an optional $14 spiked add-on featuring Frangelico, Bailey’s, or Rittenhouse Rye). The experience already includes a delicious red velvet cookie, but if you’ve got a serious sweet tooth and burned lots of calories on the slopes, upgrade to the one-tier dessert option for $18. And yes, they offer to-go boxes if you don’t finish your treats.

Never had a dirty soda? Swap your morning latte at Double Blacks for Utah’s favorite bevy—you won’t regret it.

AMENITIES:

• 55-inch flat-screen HDTV with streaming
• Wi-Fi Free
• Mini-bar
• Nespresso coffee maker
• Air conditioning
• Safe
• Hairdryer
• Telephone
• Blackout curtains
• Individual climate control
• Bath robes and slippers
• Iron and ironing board

ROOM TYPES:

With 25 different layouts and room types to choose from, the suites here are nothing short of spacious. But if, like me, you love a good balcony, keep in mind that only a handful of room types offer them.

THE BEST THING TO DO WITHIN A 15 MINUTE WALK:

Some of the best experiences in the area can be found right inside the hotel—unless, of course, you’re eager to venture across the street to hop on the Keetley Lift, where heated seats ensure a cozy start to your daily adventure. For an evening of entertainment, head to Hidden Ace, the hotel’s stylish basement speakeasy, where live local music from Park City’s vibrant scene takes center stage (typically Thursday through Saturday nights).

THE BEST THING TO EAT/DRINK WITHIN A $20 CAB RIDE:

Make a reservation at KAENO, a Mediterranean Bar and Lounge, and order a glass of white wine (you can bring your own bottle for a corking fee) and the Whole Branzino. Here you’ll find delicious food, lively cocktails, art, atmosphere, and people richer than the ones you met the night before. Time it for the hotel’s shuttle for a free ride there and back and use your $20 to tip the local musician.

BED GAME:

Maybe it was all the adventure or the delicious cocktails at Hidden Ace, but we slept like babies here each night.

Rating: 9.5/10

SEXINESS RATING:

If you’re a mountain lover like me, this is the perfect sexy weekend getaway with your S.O.

Rating: 9/10

THE VIEWS & PICS SPOT:

The hotel’s hot tub offers a picture-worthy spot. Add a faux fur hat and some oversized shades and you’ve got your new profile picture ready to upload.

BEST SEASON TO VISIT:

If you’re heading to Deer Valley for the snow, there’s no crystal ball for predicting conditions, but March is my top pick for skiing. Just try to avoid Spring Break—unless you enjoy higher prices and dodging a swarm of ski school kiddos learning to “pie” on the mountain.

IF I HAD TO COMPLAIN ABOUT ONE THING:

As with most hotels, this one has a signature scent throughout the property. Inside the room, they spray the sheets with the scent, which was too overpowering for me. The hotel staff was so accommodating, and they changed out our bedding while we were at dinner.

The legendary spirits brand is partnering with DJ Suss One to offer artists, entreprenuers, and more the chance at $20,000 and a mentorship.

The latest Deftones album is 2020’s Ohms, and while it’s been nearly five years since then, it looks like a new one is coming very soon.

In a recent appearance on The Dr. Greenthumb Show (as MetalSucks notes), Everlast was with Deftones guitarist Stephen Carpenter and he said:

“Since we’re going to be on this kind of, you know, throwing flowers around attitude, this man has a record coming out much sooner, in August, that I just heard a few songs from. [It] sounds like Deftones all got in time machines and got back out and hit the studio last week and are feeling young and beautiful. That record is amazing, man, all three [songs] that I heard… It’s gonna be a good musical summer for people who like what we do. Or summer for them; for you and me, probably end of the year.”

Son Doobie of the hip-hop group Funkdoobiest also said in the same interview, “The music you played Steph, [Carpenter] is always treating us to what he’s got going. And, man, those songs are amazing. And, like I said, man, Chino [Moreno] sounds amazing… Just on it, man, and sharp, man.”

However, there has been no official confirmation from the band that an album is coming.

Watch the full interview here. Also revisit our interview with Moreno, in which he reviews every Deftones album.

For her Short N’ Sweet tour, Sabrina Carpenter partnered with Plus1, a nonprofit that per their website has programs including “a variety of offerings for artists and brands to engage in social impact in the ways that best suit their needs and interests.” Through Plus1, The Sabrina Carpenter Fund was launched, and one dollar from every tour ticket sold went to the fund. In less than a year, it has raised over $1 million, which is a record for the platform, as Forbes notes.

Per a 2024 annual report, “Sabrina’s team carefully selected nonprofit organizations that align with her values, ensuring that every dollar raised makes a meaningful difference.” Those organizations include the Best Friends Animal Society, The Jed Foundation, and the LGBT National Help Center.

Carpenter’s fund raised $824,000 during the North American dates of her tour before crossing the $ million mark during the European dates.

Carpenter told Forbes, “Less than a year ago, I launched a fund with PLUS1 around the Short n’ Sweet tour to help support some of the issue areas that matter most to me–mental health, animal welfare and LGBTQ+ rights. I’m so grateful that I get to use my platform to amplify the work of incredible organizations like the JED Foundation, PAPYRUS, and Rainbow Railroad. The work of these groups is truly life-changing – from The JED Foundation’s focus on protecting teen mental health and preventing suicide, to PAPYRUS, which provides mental health support for LGBTQ+ youth in the UK through its 24/7 hotline, to Rainbow Railroad, which helps ensure safety and freedom for LGBTQ+ people around the world.”

When Tyler Childers announced his new album Snipe Hunter last month, he did so while sharing “Nose On The Grindstone,” a song that fans already knew from his live performances of it over the years. Today (July 2), he has another Snipe Hunter song out, and it’s a similar story.

It’s not quite the same, though: While “Nose On The Grindstone” was a frequent live favorite (and a version of it is one of his most-streamed songs on Spotify), “Oneida” has been more of a rarity. Here he is performing it in 2016, and setlist.fm indicates he’s played it live only a handful of times since then.

Regarless, it’s a song fans have been eagerly awaiting. When Childers announced the release on Instagram last week, comments included, “9 years 2 kids 1 husband have happened while waiting for this damn song,” and, “This album is for the OGs. Just feel it.”

Listen to “Oneida” above. Childers also shared the Snipe Hunter tracklist, so find that below.

Ethel Cain (aka Hayden Anhedönia) kicked off the year with the new project Perverts, following her breakout 2022 debut album Preacher’s Daughter. In March, she announced another new album, Willoughby Tucker, I’ll Always Love You, and in June, she shared “Nettles.”

Today (July 2) brings another new song: “F*ck Me Eyes,” a swelling, anthemic, synth-led number. Cain says in a statement:

“Continuing in the theme of high school anxieties, ‘F*ck Me Eyes’ (on top of being an homage to one of my favorite pop songs of all time, ‘Bette Davis Eyes’) is meant to be an ode to the girls who are perfect and have everything, yet carry the reputation of town slut. The beautiful blonde who is just lonely and wants to be loved, that all the adults condemn to each other, who ultimately is the girl everyone simultaneously can’t stand and wants to be. I wrote the beginning of this song five years ago, making it the oldest demo for the record. As the story became more fleshed out, I realized it had a more relevant place on the album than I originally thought. This song represents Ethel’s complicated feelings for the girl she’s convinced has caught her crush’s eye, as well as her 16-year-old thoughts on the matter.”

Listen to “F*ck Me Eyes” above.

Willoughby Tucker, I’ll Always Love You is out 8/6 via Daughters Of Cain Records. Find more information here.

We haven’t had new music from Foo Fighters since their latest album, 2023’s But Here We Are. But, here we are in 2025, where the group is celebrating 30 years of existence. To mark the occasion, Dave Grohl and company have released a new song, “Today’s Song.”

Grohl’s daughter Harper created the art used for the single cover.

Grohl also shared a lengthy message that reflects on former band members, including Taylor Hawkins and Josh Freese. It reads in part:

“Over the years, we’ve had moments of unbridled joy, and moments of devastating heartbreak. Moments of beautiful victory, and moments of painful defeat. We have mended broken bones and broken hearts. But we have followed this road together, with each other, for each other, no matter what. Because in life, you just can’t go it alone.

It should go without saying that without the boundless energy of William Goldsmith, the seasoned wisdom of Franz Stahl, and the thunderous wizardry of Josh Freese, this story would be incomplete, so we extend our heartfelt gratitude for the time, music, and memories that we shared with each of them over the years. Thank you, gentlemen.

And… Taylor. Your name is spoken every day, sometimes with tears, sometimes with a smile, but you are still in everything we do, everywhere we go, forever. The enormity of your beautiful soul is only rivaled by the infinite longing we feel in your absence. We all miss you beyond words. Foo Fighters will forever include Taylor Hawkins in every note that we play, until we do finally reach our destination.”

LaRussell’s schedule is busier than just about anybody’s, but he put some time aside to visit Uproxx Studios and be the latest guest on Sound Check. The new episode arrives shortly after the June release of Good Ethika, LaRussell’s whopping seventh new album of 2025. Host Jeremy Hecht put quite the challenge in front of LaRussell, tasking him to choose between two of his own songs. LaRussell also looked outward as he made some other tough selections, picking between Prince and Michael Jackson, Kendrick Lamar and Tyler The Creator, and even Drake and… Drake.

Here’s how it works: Jeremy plays two songs for the guest artist, who has to choose one and explain their choice, giving Jeremy a chance to learn their musical taste. Jeremy then has to guess the artist’s life anthem, the song they’d take to a desert island, which the guest wrote down earlier on a piece of paper. Our production team has also given him a decoy song, and Jeremy has to guess which is correct based on what he’s learned in the previous rounds.

Watch LaRussell take on the Sound Check challenge above. New episodes of Sound Check drop every Wednesday at noon ET/9 a.m. PT on Uproxx’s YouTube.

All eyes are on Oasis right now as the band prepare to launch their long-awaited reunion tour this week, on July 4 in Cardiff, Wales. Before they start, though, they have a bit of pre-tour news: Today (July 2), they’ve announced a deluxe 30th-anniversary edition of the iconic album (What’s The Story) Morning Glory?.

Most notably, the reissue includes new unplugged versions of five songs: “Cast No Shadow,” “Morning Glory,” “Wonderwall,” “Acquiesce,” and “Champagne Supernova.” The new versions were “produced and mixed by Noel Gallagher and Callum Marinho from the original master recordings,” per a press release. The unplugged version of “Acquiesce” is available now.

Meanwhile, Liam Gallagher recently promised a straightforward stage presence on Oasis‘ reunion shows, saying, “We’re just gonna walk on and get on with it we’re not at the f*cking circus we’re not getting fired out of a cannon ball and we’re not SHOWOFFS.”
