Travis Scott Jordan 1 Velvet Brown

Welcome to SNX DLX, your weekly roundup of the best sneakers to hit the web. 2024 keeps on banging and we’re here for it. While it seems like some of the year’s best releases are shockingly coming weeks before 2025, we’re going to go ahead and officially close the book next week and finally list our 20 favorite sneakers from 2024. So if you love year-end lists, stay tuned this place!

As for this week, it’s a light but strong one. The series consists of the return of the Jordan 12 Blueberry, a new AF-3 designed by Nigo, and the latest Jordan 1 Travis Scott collaboration. Every time a new Cactus Jack Jordan drops, it sucks up all the oxygen in the room, but ignoring the rest of this week’s deals would be a big mistake! Don’t get us wrong, we’re hyped for Travis Scott Jordan too, but this week is full of amazing releases.

Let’s dive into them already!

Nike Party-6000 x Makeway Summit White and Apricot Agate

Price: $110

Nike has teamed up with women’s sneaker store Makeway to take a spin on the 2000s sneaker P-6000, here called the Party-6000. This running sneaker features a perforated leather upper with mixed material overlays and a three-tone colorway combining white with pale orange and baby blue.

It’s possibly one of our favorite obscure running sneakers of the year.

The Nike Party-6000 x Makeway Summit White and Apricot Agate is out now for a retail price of $110. Pick up a pair via Nike SNKRS app.

Air Jordan 12 White & Game Royal (Blueberry)

Price: 200 USD

I’m from LA, I can’t look at this sneaker and not think of the Dodgers who, if you haven’t heard, had a very good year. The Jordan 12 White and Game Royal feature a leather upper, a simple two-tone design and the premium elevated luxury look typical of the double digit Jordans.

The Air Jordan 12 White & Game Royal is out now for a retail price of $200. Pick up a pair via Nike SNKRS app or aftermarket sites such as GOAT and Flying Club.

Nigo x Air Force 3 Low Baroque Brown and Pecan

Price: $150

Legendary Japanese designer Nigo has teamed up with Nike for a new take on the oft-forgotten Air Force 3. The upper of this AF-3 features a mix of genuine and synthetic leather with accents of hair-on cowhide in a mix of earthy brown tones and a certain forest green contrast.

Rounding out the design are some metallic gold accents and retro Nike tongue lettering.

The Air Force 3 Low x Nigo Baroque Brown and Pecan is set to drop on December 19th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $150. Pick up a pair via Nike SNKRS app.

New Balance Made in USA 997 Moonrock

Price: $189.99

997 is back with a premium Made in USA build – say less! Seriously, this sneaker could have been made in any colorway and we’d still be hyped because the 997 is one of New Balance’s very best silhouettes.

And luckily for all of us, this isn’t a bad colorway, it’s a great one! The sneaker features a leather and mesh upper with hairy suede accents on the tongue and heel in a mix of beige, gray and brown tones. It might not be flashy and super hype worthy, but it doesn’t have to be, it’s simply a great design and color.

The New Balance Made in USA 997 Moonrock is set to drop on December 19th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $189.99. Pick up a pair via New balance.

Nike Ja 2 Tree Top Light Silver and Metallic Gold

Price: $130

Yes Morant’s latest with Nike drops this week! Light Silver and Metallic Gold aka “Tree Top”, features a simplified upper that removes some of the bulk of the sneaker for a lighter fit. The sneaker sits on top of the Air Zoom cushioning and is intended for vertical court play, hence the name.

My favorite detail about the sneaker is the icy outsole with gold flecks. It gives the sneaker a kind of sparkling quality.

The Nike Ja 2 Tree Top Light Silver and Metallic Gold are set to drop on December 19th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $130. Pick up a pair via Nike SNKRS app or aftermarket sites such as GOAT and Flying Club.

Nike ACG Izy Black and Limestone/ Khaki and Black

Price: $130 (Black and limestone/ Khaki and black

Just in time for the cozy department, Nike launches the new ACG Izy. Featuring a moccasin-inspired design with enhanced cushioning designed for city streets, the ACG Izy features a solid color suede upper with visible stitching and a chunky thread outsole. It allows you to rock that comfortable vibe while still being equipped to take pavement abuse, and we love it for that.

The sneaker comes in two earthy colors, Black and Limestone, and Khaki and Black.

Nike x ACG Izy Black and limestone and Khaki and black is set to drop on December 20 at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $130. Grab a pair via the Nike SNKRS app.

Air Jordan 1 Low AND Travis Scott Velvet Brown

Price: $150

The latest Travis Scott Jordan 1 is here! The Velvet Brown is admittedly pretty fresh, it might even be a top five TS Jordan 1, and that’s really saying something considering how strong Scott’s collaborations with Nike have been.

The sneaker features a premium and luxurious suede upper, a monochromatic brown colorway and the iconic backwards oversized swoosh. We’ll go ahead and call it. This is one of the best sneaker drops of 2024.

The Air Jordan 1 Low OG Travis Scott Velvet Brown is set to drop on December 21st at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $150. Pick up a pair via Nike SNKRS app or aftermarket sites such as GOAT and Flying Club.
