We haven’t heard from London favorites Sorry since their dropped their 2022 album Anywhere But Here.” But, they’re back now: Today (October 17), they shared the new single “Waxwing.” The track is built on an interpolation of the lyrics from Tony Basil’s classic “Hey Mickey.”
The group’s Asha Lorenz says of the song in a statement, “Mickey is desire ? Mickey is the bomb? Mickey makes me money? Mickey makes my songs? Mickey makes a poem? Mickey in the drugs ? Mickey is liar ? Mickey making love? Mickey is desire ?”
There’s no news of a new album yet, but perhaps this song means one is on the way soon.
In a 2022 interview with Uproxx, Lorenz said of her songwriting process, “If I can’t make sense of what’s really going on or people’s thoughts and stuff, then I flip it into a song and I can kind of put it away because I can see it for something else.”
Watch the “Waxwing” video above. Also find the band’s upcoming tour dates, in support of Fontaines DC, below.

Welcome to SNX DLX, your weekly roundup of the best sneakers to hit the internet. We are already mid-way through October and we’re just barely getting the first sneaker drop we would call “Halloween-themed,” in the Kobe 5 Protro Deep Royal Blue. This is a unique time in the sneaker year where there will be a handful of dope shoes that could double as everyday wear and part of a Halloween costume. Going as a skeleton this year? Rock the Kobe 5 Protros, you’ll be the most stylish skeleton ever!
But this isn’t a week of gimmicky designs, quite the contrary, most of the shoes are year-rounders, and we’re better for it. Other highlights this week include three new colorways of the Air Max SNDR, a new iteration of the Air Pegasus, a Converse x Stüssy collab, and a new trail-inspired design from Bricks & Wood and New Balance. There are a lot of great drops ot get to, so let’s dive into the best sneakers dropping this week, and where to find them.
Air Max SNDR Black and Metallic Gold/ Blue Ice and Obsidian, Burgundy Crush and Baltic Blue
This year Nike brought back the late ‘90s early ‘00s Air Max SNDR (a shoe way ahead of its time), and this week the sneaker is getting three brand new colorways, which is great news for fans of futuristic Y2K-era designs. The sneaker features large reflective panels along the mudguard, sports Max Air cushioning, and a zip-up shroud.
The sneaker is dropping in three colorways, including Black and Metallic Gold, Blue Ice and Obsidian, and Burgundy Crush and Baltic Blue.
The Air Max SNDR is out now for a retail price of $185. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app or aftermarket sites like GOAT and Flight Club.
When the return of the Air Pegasus was first announced, we hoped Nike would start to play with the silhouette a bit and it looks like our hopes have been answered this week with the Air Pegasus Wave. The Air Pegasus Wave takes design cues from the early ‘00s rave scene and features a mixed upper in a stealthy Black and Metallic Silver colorway.
For added comfort, the sneaker rides on full-length Air Cushioning. More of this Nike!
The Air Pegasus Wave Black and Metallic Silver is out now for a retail price of $160. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app.
The Converse Stüssy Chuck 70 Snakeskin looks like a shoe Matthew McConaughey would wear, so if that’s the vibe you’re going for — or you’re just looking for a Magic Mike Halloween custom — then you’re not going to find a shoe that better fits the bill than this one.
The sneaker features an allover snakeskin print over a leather upper with the Stüssy logo in place of the usual star.
The Converse x Stüssy Chuck 70 Snakeskin is out now for a retail price of $110. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app.
For the Kobe fan who wants to attend Halloween parties as an x-ray, Nike is giving us the Kobe 5 Protro Deep Royal Blue. It’s not meant to be a Halloween-themed sneaker, the skeletal graphic was designed to allude to Kobe’s commitment to the game, no matter what injury he was facing, but I mean come on! A sneaker with a skeletal foot graphic dropping in October? There is a double meaning here!
The sneaker features an incredibly lightweight upper and rides on an Air Zoom unit. Any other month, I think this design would be a tough sell, but this near Halloween, it works!
The Kobe 5 Protro Deep Royal Blue is out now for a retail price of $180. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app or aftermarket sites like GOAT and Flight Club.

Nike Air Max 1 ’86 OG Summit White and Cosmic Clay
Nike
Price:$150
Is it wrong to say I prefer the ’86 Air Max 1 over standard AM-1? Call me a sucker, but that giant Air Window does it for me! It gives the sneaker a retro look that I think helps to accentuate the design of the shoe. It feels like something that would never be made today, and that’s part of its appeal.
This Summit White and Cosmic Clay colorway features a mixed leather and mesh upper with a simple three-color design and all the late ‘80s design details of the original Air Max.
The Nike Air Max 1 ’86 OG Summit White and Cosmic Clay is out now for a retail price of $150. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app.
Straight out of the New Balance archives, the New Balance 475 has quickly become one of our favorite silhouettes by the brand. I guess we just have a preference for late ‘80s footwear!
This new update of the 475 features a mesh upper with suede overlays, a leather N logo, a woven tongue label, and reflective details throughout. The construction is on point, but what I love about the sneaker is the icy blue colorway. It doesn’t gel with the autumnal season we’re living in, but come spring 2025 we are going to be rocking these.
The New Balance 475 Quarry Blue is set to drop on October 16th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $109.99. Pick up a pair at New Balance.
For those only interested in the premium New Balance releases, this week we’ve got yet another 990v4, this time in an off-white Macadamia Nut colorway. The Macadamia Nut features a mesh upper with plush tumbled leather overlays and rides on an ENCAP midsole.
Rounding out the design is a Flying NB logo at the hell and the coveted flag logo on the tongue tag.
The New Balance Made in USA 990v4 Macadamia Nut is out now for a retail price of $209.99. Pick up a pair at New Balance.
South Central Los Angeles streetwear brand Bricks & Wood is linking up with New Balance this week for a colorful new take on the 1906 Utility. The Utility Phantom features a ripstop mesh base with ombre synthetic overlays, shock absorbing ABZORB SBS heel cushioning, co-branded insoles, a Bricks & Wood butterfly at the tongue tag, and ACTEVA LITE cushioning.
It’s maybe one of the most stylish trail ready sneakers we’ve ever seen.
The Bricks & Wood x New Balance 1906 Utility Phantom is set to drop on October 18th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $169.99. Pick up a pair at New Balance or aftermarket sites like GOAT and Flight Club.

This college football season we have been treated to two matchups of top-5 teams that have delivered instant classics. After Alabama held on to beat Georgia in a shootout a few weeks back, Oregon toppled Ohio State in a thriller last week thanks to a savvy purposeful penalty and a slide that was a second too late by Buckeyes QB Will Howard. Now, we are going to get our third top-5 showdown of the season in Week 8, as Georgia once again has to go on the road to face a top opponent in the SEC, this time traveling to Austin to face No. 1 Texas.
The Longhorns dominated last week against Oklahoma in the annual Red River game, while Georgia has looked a bit more human this season than we’re used to seeing them, most recently beating lowly Mississippi State by just 10 at home. We’ll find out if we get another top-5 thriller or if either team can make a more emphatic statement at the top of the SEC. That’s not the only ranked-on-ranked matchup of the week, though, as there are a handful of fascinating games up and down the schedule, as the meat of the college football season has been absolutely delivering this year.
The Game Of The Year (Of The Week): No. 5 Georgia vs. No. 1 Texas (7:30 p.m. ET, ABC)
A mildly desperate Georgia team looking to make a statement after losing their last high-profile SEC road game against Alabama. The No. 1 ranked Texas Longhorns, which want to be the top dog in the toughest conference in America and are playing host to the team that has ran things in the SEC over the last few years. Under the lights, on ABC, Fowler and Herbie on the call. This is going to be a spectacle, and I am excited to clear my schedule to watch.
Everything in this game comes down to one thing: Can Georgia’s passing defense, which has been uncharacteristically leaky in recent games against Bama and, of all teams, Mississippi State, rise to the occasion against the Longhorn passing attack. Steve Sarkisian is one of the best offensive minds in the sport, and while Quinn Ewers looked a bit rusty last week against Oklahoma, Texas’ combination of a stellar offensive line and excellent skill position players is a huge pain in the neck for anyone to deal with. I’m very interested to see how much the Longhorns try to run it — Jalen Milroe did a great job of this against Georgia, but that is not Ewers’ game — but my hunch is they try to win it in the air.
On the other side, a sneaky interesting subplot is that Texas just has not played, well, anyone with a half-decent offense. The best opposing offense they’ve played this year is Oklahoma, which is 59th in offensive SP+. Georgia is sixth in that same metric, and I’m very interested in whether they try to put the pedal to the metal from the jump and test the Longhorn defense, especially after they had such a shambolic first half against the Crimson Tide. Keep Carson Beck upright and win in the trenches (a very difficult thing to do against Texas), and I think it’s possible the Dawgs really test Texas in a way they haven’t been all year.
Lock Into This One: No. 7 Alabama vs. No. 11 Tennessee (3:30 p.m. ET, ABC)
It’s the third Saturday in October, which means it’s time for the rivalry game affectionately known as the Third Saturday In October. This year’s game is especially interesting, as both of these teams could really use a win to stay in the Playoff picture and have both taken a step back after a scalding hot start to the year in recent weeks. Perhaps more interesting, the vaunted Vol offense and the usually-stingy Tide defense have not been up to their usual standards in recent weeks. The battle between Alabama’s offense (which got bottled up a bit by South Carolina in a scare last week) and Tennessee’s defense (which has been awesome this year) should be a strength-on-strength matchup, but this game very well might come down to whether Nico Iamaleava can get back on track after a couple of rough weeks to start SEC play.
Under-The-Radar Banger: Nebraska vs. No. 16 Indiana (12:00 p.m. ET, Fox)
Fun fact: The only P4 team to play an easier schedule than Indiana this year has been Nebraska. Both of these teams have gotten off to great starts to Big Ten play, and while there is a ton of buzz around the Hoosiers right now (it sure seems like they’ll get College GameDay next week for their game against Washington with a win), I’m very interested in a battle between them and Nebraska’s stingy defense. Matt Rhule has famously stunk in games against ranked opponents, too. Should be a fun one, with the winner emphatically staking a claim as the dark horse to watch in the Big Ten.
Message Board Meltdown Game Of The Week: No. 24 Michigan at Illinois (3:30 p.m. ET, CBS)
Michigan is, somehow, still ranked at 4-2, but a loss here would be back-to-back losses on the road in conference play. That probably wouldn’t sit well with the folks in Ann Arbor, and there have already been frustrations with the fan base about what they believe is a team that’s not particularly well-coached. On the other side, the Illini almost lost to a bad Purdue team last week, needing to force OT and stopping a 2-point conversion to win 50-49. That took a little wind out of the sails for Illinois, and the buzz and excitement for the Illini turned into a bit of concern. If Illinois cannot beat this Michigan team to stay in the hunt in the Big Ten for at least another week, the folks in Champaign will start to wonder if they can ever get it done.
Who Won The Heisman Last Week?: Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State
There is only one possible answer this week, and it is Warren, who put up the following stat line in Penn State’s comeback overtime win over USC in Los Angeles: 17 catches (tied an FBS single-game record for a tight end), 224 yards, one receiving touchdown; one carry, four yards; 1-for-1, nine yards. On his one receiving touchdown, he started the play out as a center, snapped the ball, ran down the field, and Moss’d a defensive player. What a player.
Best Bet (3-3): Kentucky at Florida UNDER 42.5
I’m going back to the well with a Kentucky play this week after a no-doubter with our ‘Dores got us back to .500. The reasoning on the Under here is pretty simple, Kentucky wants to play as slow a game as possible and in their four SEC games this season the total has finished at: 37, 25, 37, 33. The Gators defense has shown signs of life the last two weeks against UCF and Tennessee, and with DJ Lagway now the guy under center with Graham Mertz’s injury, the Gators figure to run the ball a bunch an that’ll keep the clock moving and possessions down in this one.
In recent years, Julian Casablancas has split his time between his two main musical projects, The Strokes and The Voidz. If you ask him, though, it sounds like he prefers the latter to the former.
In a new Los Angeles Times interview (as NME notes), Casablancas was asked if there’s anything he misses about working with The Strokes or The Voidz, and he responded, “Probably one direction more than the other. I don’t know if I can answer that without being offensive to someone.” He later confirmed the “one direction” he was referring to is The Voidz.
Then he was asked if he feels like he was cultivating an “opiate-of-the-masses vibe” with The Strokes, and he said:
“No, because I think I put political thoughts now in Strokes songs, too. I always have to some degree. I definitely think a lot of Strokes fans don’t get that about it so much, which is maybe why I’ve kind of stepped away a little bit. But it’s a very cool day job that I’m honored to have, so I don’t feel negatively about it. If it was wasting so much of my time that I couldn’t do anything positive, then I would. But I don’t let it get to that point. At least I don’t think so. I could be lying to myself.”
A day after teasing a mysterious project, Tyler The Creator has announced a new album. It’s called Chromakopia, and it’s coming out on Monday, October 28. That’s a rarity in the music industry: new albums usually arrive on Friday. Details about Chromakopia are scarce, including no tracklist (although “St. Chroma” will presumably be the first single, if there is no one), but the artwork notes that “all songs are written, produced, and arranged” by Tyler Okonma, Tyler’s real name.

Pogues are gonna Pogue, and sometimes, a Pogue is not a Pogue, or so he worries, but Netflix dropped one of their half-seasons, meaning that nobody knows how this Semi-Pogue will cope. Cue the existential crisis.
Outer Banks‘ recently debuted its fourth season on Netflix to give fans a dose of TV’s current reigning treasure hunters, who are already sitting atop the weekly Netflix Top 10 Series (English) list, and in this TV year, the beach ended up being cliffhanger city. In entirely shocking news, JJ learned that his parentage was not what he had known it to be, meaning that he is (at least biologically speaking) a dreaded Kook. As star Rudy Pankow told Hollywood Reporter, this will lead to an official “identity crisis” when the show returns as JJ frets, “Like, who am I? Where do I stand? What kind of person am I now? Are my friends gonna judge me?”
Sure, other cliffhangers are also afoot, but that one feels the most entertaining from an emotional standpoint, which brings us to this question:
When Will Outer Banks Season 4 Part 2 Come To Netflix?
Do not worry. Drama involving Blackbeard’s Treasure will continue in only a few short weeks, so John B. (Chase Stokes) devotees, get ready. Five more Outer Banks episodes will drop on November 7.
This season has also presented an even bigger threat to Pogue Peace than usual because The Walking Dead baddie Pollyanna McIntosh is also treasure-salivating as Dalia. If I ever came face to face with the woman who pulled off kidnapping Rick Grimes, I would give up any quest in process. It’s not worth it. No matter how much value.
The Oklahoma City Thunder are widely considered the favorites to earn the 1-seed in the Western Conference for the second straight season. That’s because OKC made two major additions this offseason that addressed their most glaring weaknesses from the playoffs, without losing much from their rotation a year ago.
They traded Josh Giddey for Alex Caruso, upgrading their perimeter defense significantly and bringing in a player more comfortable playing off-ball on offense. Then, they used their cap space to sign Isaiah Hartenstein to fill a hole in the frontcourt and give them a strong rebounder, rim protector, and pick-and-roll big next to Chet Holmgren. The only real question for the Thunder is how long will it take them to get those new pieces acclimated to how they play, and unfortunately the assimilation process for Hartenstein is going to be delayed.
On Thursday, the team announced their new center would miss at least 5-6 weeks after suffering a non-displaced fracture in his left hand during their preseason game against the Nuggets on Tuesday. That means he will miss at least the first month of the regular season, which is one month of reps he won’t get with his new teammates in live game action.
It’s not an injury that should have a significant impact on the Thunder’s long-term goal of contending for a title, but it does make the path to the 1-seed in the West (and homecourt throughout the first three rounds, at least) a bit tougher. Not only is Hartenstein out, but Jaylin Williams and Kenrich Williams are both also currently injured and will be re-evaluated after the preseason. That means Chet Holmgren will have to log pretty heavy minutes early on and Mark Daigneault will have to get a bit creative with small-ball lineups until Hartenstein and the Williams’ are back.
With it likely taking another season in the mid-to-high 50s to earn the 1-seed, even a good but not great start to the season can create an uphill climb to land that top spot, and OKC will now have to navigate the start of the year with a much thinner frontcourt rotation than they expected.
One of the (many) downsides to being a famous singer is that you can’t casually catch another artist’s concert without being mobbed by people. Unless you wear a disguise, that is.
Chappell Roan attended the Los Angeles date of Charli XCX and Troye Sivan’s Sweat tour on Wednesday wearing a black wig to conceal her instant-giveaway red locks. She went with her creative director Ramisha Sattar, who shared a video of an undercover Roan at the show on Instagram.
Roan previously revealed that Charli XCX was the first person to reach out to her after she opened up about her struggles with fame.
“I love Charli so much. She was like the first girl to reach out and check on me. She was like ‘Hi, this is about to get really hard and if you need a friend, I’ll be here for you’. So it’s just so sick to see her just ruling the f*cking world and doing it her way,” she said during a soundcheck Q&A, according to NME. “I think so many people have tried to put her in a pop box of like ‘she’s a pop star’ and like she is but she’s like a club girl and is fully living. She’s fueling the fantasy and it’s working because it’s her and it’s so inspiring to me. She’s just, I am so proud of her for Brat and I can’t wait to see her and Troye’s show.”
Morgan Wallen is officially entering the music festival space: It was announced today (October 17) that Wallen in teaming with Hangout Music Festival and Coachella producers AEG Presents to launch Sand In My Boots. The inaugural edition is set to go down in Gulf Shores, Alabama (at the site that also hosts Hangout) from May 16 to 18, 2025.
The lineup hasn’t been revealed yet, but a press release teases “a highly curated multi-genre lineup with some of Wallen’s closest friends, favorite artists, those who have inspired him, and that he has always wanted to perform with,” all of whom were “handpicked by Wallen.”
Ticket details also haven’t been announced yet, but more information about that and the lineup is coming soon. In the meantime, more info can be found on the festival website.
In a video message announcing the fest, Wallen said, “Morgan Wallen here to share some exciting news me and my team have been working on for a while for y’all. We’re heading south to the beaches of Gulf Shores, Alabama and I’m bringing some good friends with me. Mark your calendars for May 16 to 18, 2025 for the Sand In My Boots Fest. Stay tuned and we’ll get you some more info soon!”
Stacy Vee, EVP of Goldenvoice and Producer of Stagecoach, also noted in a statement, “Creating a Festival with Morgan has been a dream come true… and some of the most fun I have ever had booking a show! I can’t wait for fans to come and experience one of the most eclectic and electric lineups and on-site experiences the world has ever seen.” AEG Presents and Hangout Festival Producer Reeves Price added, “The opportunity to bring Morgan’s world to life on the beach in Gulf Shores is something very special. The fact that it coincides with the 15th anniversary of the Hangout Festival only makes it more special. We can’t wait to see everyone back on the beach in May.”
