How does a collaborator follow up on a release like the Brooklyn Projects x Nike SB Dunk Low? Apparently the answer is, fire the guy who messed it up and handle the next one yourself. It’s personal this time around for BP owner/founder Dom DeLuca, who called upon his love of thrash as a theme for Brooklyn Projects’ Nike SB Dunk High ‘Reign in Blood’. DeLuca managed to walk the thin line between rugged and refined, this model showing evidence of both take-no-prisoners aggression and connoisseur-level refinement. There’s still no finalized drop date but we’d expect them soon and with retailers in SE Asia already getting theirs, the US release should be right around the corner.

Sneaker News continues our broad preview of the Nike Sportswear Fall 2011 Footwear Collection, and we’ve got some more treats for the AF1 fan. The Nike Air Force 1 High ‘Duckboot’, which dropped earlier this year, was one of the more unique releases from NSW, as it transformed one of the most historic basketball shoes into a outdoor-ready, weather resistant pair of boots – a far cry from its origin. You can expect these two new colorways to drop this Fall 2011 season; the first features an earthy mix of brown and olive green which is paired with a full gum sole, and a second more sleeker variety, which achieves that notion thanks to a tonal black upper paired with a khaki beige toe. We’ve got an additional viewing for you after the jump so take a look and let us know which of the two colorways you like more. via END.

Sneaker News has shown you quite a bit of the Nike Zoom Hyperfuse 2011 already, from preview images to player exclusives including the on-court images you’ve seen in our ongoing NBA Feet feature. But the Hyperfuse 2011 release is still a ways off, and Nike Basketball is taking advantage of this perfect timing to release what could very well be the two most impressive Nike Zoom Hyperfuse Low colorways we’ve seen so far. The Elite Youth Basketball League edition Zoom Hyperfuse Low pack sees the watermelon-flavored look we showed you last week paired with a firey and distinct palette that’s sure to be a big hit with Virginia Tech Hokies fans. Click through to see more of both pairs of EYBL Hyperfuse Lows, let us know which one’s better and stick with Sneaker News for updates on their availability. via Kenlu

If April showers bring May flowers, then this must be the potpourri that resulted. June 2011′s Nike SB footwear releases are starting to make their way to retailers and today we have three dark if totally unrelated designs to show you. First up is the ‘Un-Send Help’ Nike SB Dunk Mid in a beautiful black suede plus Orion Blue accented design, a model whose dark appeal is trumped by the sheer earthiness of the Blazer High SB in Cocoa. There are four more new models ready to be picked clean, all of which are ready for your warm weather skating needs thanks to select stores like Premier, so take a look at all the releases below and let us know which pair stands out to you the most.

In his eight-year career, LeBron James has built an incredible fan-base thanks to his signature products and marketable persona. Upper Deck, one of the most recognizable and trusted names in the sports memorabilia sector, has a nice collection of Nike LeBron Player Exclusives, all of which were worn in-game and have been autographed by LeBron James himself. Some of the notables from this bunch is the ‘Portland’ Game PE of the Nike LeBron 8 V/2 and the White/Black Nike LeBron VII P.S. that he wore during his final playoff series with the Cleveland Cavaliers. If you’re a hardcore LeBron James collector, check out the entire available collection at Upper Deck and let us know which one of the six is your favorite.

Seniors are more than likely counting down the days to official freedom from the chains of High School (although most have been celebrating their liberation for months). The summer vacation before heading to college is considered to be one of the most fun-filled moments in a teenagers life, so be ready to party hardy while looking fresh with the Air Jordan III ‘True Blue’, which is set for a release during the first weekend of June. In addition to the kicks (which will likely zip outta store shelves fast), Jordan Brand will also release some accompanying apparel in the form of polo shirts and tees as well as the ‘True Blue’ slide sandal that we previewed not long ago. Check out the entire Air Jordan III ‘True Blue’ Collection after the jump and if you want a pair of the kicks early, grab them now on eBay.

Nike Sportswear’s never-dying line-up of classic silhouettes arrives this Fall 2011 season refreshed, remastered, and ready to be rocked for the upcoming months. Check out the ‘Vac-Tech’ Pack – give NSW models constructed in seamless Vac-Tech uppers (as seen in previous Air Force 1 and Royal Mid releases) in suede, leather, and glossy leather. The Nike Air Max 90, Dunk High, and Air Force 1 Low receive this unique suede treatment, finished off in rich tonal colorways that fit sharply with the changing of the climate. Another Air Max 90 in a glossy patent leather also arrives, as does a Nike Air Force 1 High given a distressed leather treatment as the inconsistency in color gives off a ‘vintage’ weathered boot feel. Check out these upcoming releases after the jump and stick with Sneaker News as we will update you with more Fall 2011 releases. via END.

Sneaker News showed you the inside of Jordan Geller’s ShoeZeum over the past several weeks, a southern California collection that’s quite possibly the best in the entire world. Or maybe second best is more likely, because up the coast in Oregon, the Nike Inc headquarters has its fair share of history on display. Not only does the Beaverton campus contain countless vintage and unreleased items, but company CEO Mark Parker‘s office could easily be its own show-and-tell. Photographer Steve Benisty got a chance to look around and snap a few shots, and if a picture’s worth a thousand words, you’d better save some time to digest this thesis on design. Parker’s got everything from sneaker-themed art to larger than life photographs of Keith Richards and Jimi Hendrix, and with a tiny Kim Jong-il teapot for good measure. You can see it all when you click on the jump below, and be sure to leave a comment to let us know what you think of Nike Inc. CEO Mark Parker’s amazing office space. via Fubiz

Rick Ross and his newly formed Maybach Music Group, which consists of Wale, Meek Mill, and Pill, visited the set of BET’s 106 & Park once again last night (this was the first visit) to promote their new album, Self Made Vol. 1, which is in stores now. Rick Ross and Wale have been known to rock heat from time to time and on this occasion, even Meek Mill stepped up his Jordan game with a pair of crispy “Wolf Grey” Air Jordan V Retros, while Wale debuted the new “Retro” Foamposite Pros that are set to drop in the coming months. Ross kept it “South Beach” with his floral shirt and fresh out of the box White on White Air Force 1′s. Pill wore the understated yet classic Black and White Converse Chuck Taylor All-Stars. Who do you think had the best kicks on out of the group? Let us know after the jump.

We just showed you some new images of the initial Air Jordan 2.0 colorway, and though this Saturday, May 28th release is the only one we’ve seen so far in previews, it’s certainly not the only release you’ll see. Case in point: this new Air Jordan 2.0 GS. They’re more on the ‘grade school’ side of things than a girls/ladies release thanks to a palette that would have been well suited for the beginning of this month as a Cinco de Mayo themed drop. But as it stands, this vaguely Christmas-y look is an upcoming release, and you can see more when you click on the jump below. Let us know what you think and be sure to stick with Sneaker News for new developments including the US release date. via Air-Randy
