Welcome to SNX DLX, your weekly roundup of the best sneakers on the internet. After what was probably the lowest sneaker supply of the whole year last week, we are finally back in full swing! Back-to-school season is over and now the big brands are releasing the sneakers we care about – rather than re-ups from earlier this year and a whole handful of kids’ sizes.
That means we’ve packed this week’s SNX with the full lineup of ten sneakers. Highlights include a few brand collaborations via streetwear icon Supreme and French fashion house Jacquemus, as well as new signatures from the Air Jordan and Dame Lillard lines. Once you’ve scanned this week’s picks, complete your fit by clicking Style Watch, our bi-monthly clothing roundup.

Both pairs featured quilted stitching and Supreme branding to the tongue, but we have to give it to the black leather version, it’s definitely the better of the two. Always go for leather over denim, unless we are talking about pants.
