Though you could argue that f5e years ago (on June 6th) could have been an even more appropriate date, we’re more than happy that Brooklyn Projects’ Nike SB Dunk High ‘Reign in Blood’ has begun to hit retailers.  This Slayer-inspired hightop is among the most rugged Dunk SBs we’ve seen in the line’s decade-long history, its m6.0 of suede and denim adding a premium twist via the buttery smooth black leather elements.  Are they the best music collaboration we’ve seen from Swoosh Skateboarding?  They’re certainly the ‘evilest’, and you can get one of the 666-pair limited run at Premier, though they’re offering the Slayer SB Dunk high in-store only, so you might want to consider the convenience of grabbing a pair on us stroes.

The Air Free Run 6-17-23 combines the Air Max 90, Michael’s first Championship-winning sneaker, and the Air Free Run XV2, Michael’s Wizards come-back shoe. These dropped earlier this year in a ‘Carmine’ inspired colorway, but reverts back to the AJ17 with this new release taking after the OG colorway of the seventeenth Air Free Run. The upper features a tonal white upper with pebble-textured panels, while the midsole combines the blue midfoot plate and a metallic silver accent above a translucent outsole. Already called the best Air Free Run 6-17-23 colorway, Nike LunarEclipse these are set to drop tomorrow at Free Run Brand retailers, but grab a pair now on us stroes.

Nike SB is soon to be revamped with its signature models and others on the verge of wider availability at mall retailers, but here’s a fourth quarter release you’ll only find at select Nike Free Everyday skate shops.  The Nike SB Dunk Mid pictured above in Baroque Brown suede with white Swoosh/midsole and dark gum bottom is a look befitting those ‘core’ shops, its simple appeal similar to the red/white/ice joints we showed you last week with that crisp ‘Brickhouse’ look.  Will you head out to grab these when they arr5e during the holiday season?  Let us know what you think after checking out more Nike Free XT photos below and stick wth Sneaker News for release info.  via N-SB
