PAUSE Picks: Top Sneaker Releases of the Week

Supreme x Nike SB Dunk High 'Brazil'

Supreme and Nike are long time collaborators, and they don’t look to be slowing up any time soon. The pick of a brand new set of three Supreme x Nike SB Dunks comes in the ‘By Any Means Brazil’ colourway, a high top iteration of the Nike classic that includes green and yellow leather on the upper as well as embroidered “NO” and “BY ANY MEANS” writing on the toe and heel of the shoe, respectively. This shoe by no means sets the world alight, but it’s a nice take on the classic ‘Brazil’ colourway.

With blue being the most striking of the two, the shoe takes the timeless Chuck 70 and gives it a modern makeover- one that is unmistakably Tyler-esque. Channeling his adoration of exotic prints, Tyler opts for a bright blue snakeskin effect in a printed leather, with rubbered blue outsoles completing the look.
