Welcome to SNX DLX, your weekly roundup of the best sneakers on the web! Spring is here and we’ve been met with a nice selection of sneakers from Adidas, Nike, Jordan and New Balance. It’s not every week that we get this wide variety of branding, so we love to see it! Among this week’s highlights is Gucci’s collaboration with Adidas, which sees the luxury brand making iterations of two classic Adidas silhouettes.

Elsewhere, Nike Penny Hardaway continues to show some love with the return of the Air Foamposite One, Air Jordan drops the latest reimagined Jordan 2 in an aesthetic that attempts to bring the summer season to us early while we’re in the world of New Balance get a few iterations of the brand’s most popular silhouette. Let’s dive into this week’s eight best sneaker drops!

Adidas x Gucci Gazelle

Price: $850

Nike may have better celebrity endorsements, a range of iconic silhouettes and a consistent release schedule of absolute bangers, but no other brand collaborates with luxury apparel quite like Adidas. This luxe version of the Gazelle features a beige and ebony GG Supreme canvas upper inspired by ’90s Gucci motifs with double branding and is made in Italy from animal-free raw materials. It’s expensive and premium, arguably overpriced for the Gazelle, which isn’t particularly comfortable, but look at it! You move Nike.

The Adidas x Gucci Gazelle men’s and women’s shoe is available now. Get a pair exclusively at Gucci.

Adidas x Gucci zx8000

Price: $980 (Aquamarine, Beige, Pink Leather, Black Canvas)

If you like the vibe of the Gucci Gazelle but want a sneaker that’s really comfortable, check out the ZX8000, also released this week. Featuring a suede and canvas upper with Gucci motifs and Trefoil embroidery, this torsion-style sneaker offers lightweight design and supportive comfort in four eye-catching colourways.

The Adidas x Gucci ZX8000 in aquamarine, beige, pink leather and black canvas is available now. Get a pair exclusively at Gucci.

Nike Dunk Low ATL

Price: $120 at SNKRS.

Finally you can represent the ATL while wearing a clean pair of dunks! While this isn’t exactly a shoe anyone has been asking for, it still looks cool and there are a number of Dunks out there designed to celebrate other cities (New York mainly), so why not Atlanta? The South has something to say!

Part of Nike’s celebration of 50 years of hip hop, this sneaker features a bright zesty red suede upper with crimson red Swooshes and metallic gold accents.

The Nike Dunk Low ATL is available now with a retail price of $120. Get a pair through the Nike SNKRS app.

Nike Women’s Dunk Low LX Pink Foam

Price: $120

Where the ATL is bright and loud, the Pink Foam takes on a softer, more understated look. The sneaker features a plush pink suede upper with a milky white midsole and swoosh over a pink outsole. Part of the Dunk’s LX line, this women’s-only Dunk features a synthetic leather insole, padded collar and black and white marbled laces.

The 550 features a suede and mesh upper and a very simple classic 80’s construction. New colorways include True Red and Atlantic Blue, Turtle Dove, White with Rain Cloud and Lilac Cloud, each of which looks like a modern classic.

New Balance Made in USA 990v6 Black with White

Price: $199.99 (M/F)

If you only ride for the MADE in USA line (of which the 550s aren’t a part), you’ll be pleased to know that we’re getting at least one MADE in USA this week – a 990v6. Featuring a mesh underlay wrapped in pigskin and synthetic overlays, this v6 features reflective accents, a TPU back tab and FuelCell foam for a propulsive stride over an ENCAP midsole. It’s designed to be a featherweight and supportive running shoe, and it is, but let’s face it, we love it because it looks great.

The New Balance Made in USA 990v6 Black with White will be available on April 7th at 7am PST in both men’s and women’s sizes. Get a pair at the New Balance webstore.

Nike Air Jordan 2 Low Seersucker

Price: $150

The Jordan 2’s first colorway might have been red and white, but pink is the sneaker’s best look. The seersucker features a combination of washed coral over a light vanilla midsole with photodust accents on a seersucker cotton upper. It might be a season too early for seersuckers, but when the sneaker looks this good, it’s hard to complain!

The Nike Air Jordan 2 Low Seersucker is set to release on April 8th at 7:00am PST. Get a pair through the Nike SNKRS app.
