Neck Face is the latest artist to be reined in by Nike SB to whip up his own set of sneakers (And a matching line of apparel). The collab is one of those that just makes sense, as Neck Face's work has long been embraced and utilized by the skateboarding community. Models included will be the Nike SB Blazer Mid LR, the Nike Braata LR Express, and the Nike Satire Express, each of which skip out on any serious graphical treatment and opt instead to utilize Face's signature scratchy font. Continue reading to check out early shots of each of the Neck Face x Nike SB models and let us know which of these November 2013 releases you're looking forward to the most.

A sequel to the Nike Air Max CB 94 "Air Derrty" for Nelly is something that none of us expected to see and yet, Nelly himself has gone and shown off this pair of the Nike Barkley Posite Max that is very clearly intended as a continuation of that theme.

We'd be even more surprised if that happened given how long it's been since we've seen these sneakers hit store shelves. Get more on the Nelly x Nike Barkley Posite Max "Derrty" below and stick with Sneaker News as the story develops.
