Leaders just keeps breaking out fresh samples, and this time around, we get a look at an unreleased alternate version of the Mint Air Max 95 as well as look at a new colorway of the Air Tech Challenge Hybrid. The Air Max 95 looks pretty similar to the Mint version that was recently released, but this pair sports some reflective 3M stripes on the lace loops. The Air Tech Challenge Hybrid strays from the OG color schemes that were found on the first batch of colorways and elects to go with a Black on Black look with some scattered Mint accents. For a better look at both pairs, you can check out some more pics after the jump.

Saucony released a Duct Tape Pack earlier this year, and these aren’t named as specifically, but they probably more closely resemble electical tape. The Supra ‘Black Tape’ Pack includes a Skytop, Skylow, Suprano and the new Thunder. Each of them has an all black upper comprised of a mix of the TUF ‘Black Tape’ material and suede. All four have little touches of red in different places to keep things lively. You can grab any or all four of these today from Limited EDT.

When we hear ‘Persian violet’ we usually think Air Classic BW, and with white and black accents. Not so for this new ladies release. The Nike Womens Air Structure Triax 91 applies the familiar purple hue to a white base. Instead of black rounding out the palette, these joints offer a jolt in the form of bright yellow ‘volt’ touches. A stand out look to be sure, these can be yours now from Purchaze.

Jordan Brand already has the Campus Chukka, but with this latest edition of the Phly Legend, JB is adding a real schoolyard vibe. Pictured above and after the jump is a detailed look at the burgendy woolen Premier edition Phly Legend we caught a glimpse of yesterday. Gone is the classic Air Jordan ‘Wings’ logo that typically graces the Phly Legend’s side panels. It’s been replaced by an ‘AJ’ embroidery that gives this shoe the overall impression of a varsity letter jacket. We expect these in September, so stick with Sneaker News for updates. via FlightClub

Some other notable features are are some Pink contrast stitching on the toe and Pink speckles on the Techno Blue section of the midsole. These will be hitting select retailers in the near future, so make sure you keep the little ladies in your life looking right. Via Kix-Files.

The Nike Air Zoom Talache is something of a misfit in the Swoosh catalog. It’s not exactly a performance athletic sneaker despite its comfy Zoom Air cushioning, but then again, it’s not as smooth and laid back as most lifestyle sneakers. However you want to classify it, the Air Zoom Talache 1 Mid from Nike’s ‘Royale Collection’ pictured above is among the nicest we’ve seen. This pair features an all black tumbled leather upper, accented by six dots on the rear quarter. It has a slightly different sole than most Talaches, wit this one using vulcanized rubber and eschewing the typical heel ‘zoom’ script in favor of a Swoosh. There’s no word yet on the Royale Collection’s release dates, but you can cop a sample in US men’s size 9 today from OSneaker.

We know that the Nike Air Penny II Retro is on the way in its ‘home’ atlantic blue and white makeup, and now here are a couple more shots. The black and neon green Sole Collector 5th Anniversary joints are unquestionably dope, but you can’t go wrong with the original. These were the first colourway released from Penny Hardaway’s second signature series, back in fall 1996. The blue parts are suede, while a white fin extending from the midsole creates an elegant swooping effect. Still no word on a concrete release date, so stick with Sneaker News for updates. via LDRS1354

Jordan Brand has the tendency to release limited runs in sets of 23 or multiples thereof. This amazing collection we’re featuring here doesn’t have any Jordan Brand-ing, but this might satisfy those of you who are eagerly anticipating the rumoured ‘Gatorade’ Air Jordan VI. Sole Collector recently received number 4 in a set of only 23 of these crazy packages from ‘G’. Inside is a special edition Gatorade-emblazoned Rubbermaid cooler, complete with MJ hang tags.
Opening the cooler reveals two molded foam layers supporting a total of six special edition 32 ouncers. Each features something about Mike’s basketball or business careers, with #5 depicting his heroic ‘Flu Game’ performance and a Sharpeed signature. Last but not least is a Sony eBook reader that came preloaded with a special message from MJ himself. With super-limited collections like these, you’ve got no chance of getting one (except maybe getting lucky on the ‘bay), so enjoy the photos after the jump and let us know which is your favourite flavor.
