Once a staple on the Nike SB roster, the Nike Delta Force has been almost completely silent in recent years. Slept on by the masses, the Delta Force has re-emerged as a lifestyle-oriented sneaker with a vulcanized sole for that low profile look. But here’s proof that we should never forget the original, a dope new Delta Force High with a curious colorway, considering the timing for its release. This white/grey/orange trio would have been a natural for spring or early summer, but with autumn right around the corner, these have an almost Un-Halloween look to them. Check out more shots after the jump and look for these to hit Nike Sportswear retailers in October, with CrookedTongues already offering pre-orders.

An NYPD tow truck operator who accused a vengeful Bronx cop of giving him a parking ticket says he was ordered to take a drug test after the Daily News started asking questions.
Marvin Robbins, a tow truck drivers' union official, got a ticket Sunday for parking his Lexus by a fire hydrant outside his apartment in the Melrose Houses.
He says the ticket was written by Officer David Moshier, whom he had met two days earlier at a restaurant on E. 149th St. in the Bronx.
Robbins said he told the cop he was assigned to a special Internal Affairs Bureau unit that sends NYPD tow truck drivers to get illegally parked police vehicles.
Robbins was more than three hours into his shift in the Bronx on Wednesday when a supervisor told him to get a Breathalyzer and urine test, he said. All NYPD employees are subject to random drug testing, but Robbins said the timing is suspicious.
"They're being vindictive," he said of Moshier and police brass.
Robbins showed The News a receipt that indicates he was 6miles away when the ticket shows the violation occurred. He claims Moshier used his license plate to track him down.
NYPD officials declined comment. Moshier said he has never met Robbins. IAB is investigating.

A Bronx teenager has been named New York's bookworm of the year for plowing through a staggering 325 novels and comics in just three months.
From June to August, 14-year-old Brittany Lopez spent most of her waking hours with her head in a book - and was proudly crowned the winner of the New York Public Library's Summer Reading 2010 contest at Yankee Stadium yesterday.
"At times, I did go outside and play and hang out with my friends, but I think reading is the most important," the Morris High School ninth-grader said.
"It helps your creativity. It's not only for entertainment, it helps your knowledge."
Brittany's favorite book was Ellen Schreiber's "Vampire Kisses," but she also devoured the Harry Potter series and dozens of Japanese comics, known as manga.
"My mind is like a sponge," she said. "I take it all in."
The Bank of America-sponsored competition was open to all city students, who kept a log of the number of books they read cover-to-cover over the summer months.
The most improved reader was Christian Rosario, 7, who lives in Jackson Heights, Queens.
His family had to read books to him before the summer, but by the end of the three-month challenge, he had ticked 60 books off his reading list by himself.
"I read five books at a time," he said, adding that his favorite was a book about ghosts.
"I would take a break from reading one day, and then go back to reading the next."
Christian and seven other top readers were honored yesterday.
Other winners included Gartim Li, 17, from Manhattan; Amanda Ciaramella, 15, from Staten Island; Aliah Gilkes, 10, from Canarsie, Brooklyn; Dynasty Williams, 12, from the Bronx; Isabella Rosario, 5, from Staten Island, and Jordan Santos, 18, from Harlem.
The bookish brood got to stand on the field at Yankee Stadium, meet outfielder Curtis Granderson and have the cameras flash their images onto the Jumbotron as the crowd cheered.
"Curtis Granderson pinched me to check I wasn't dreaming," Rosario added. "I wasn't."
