Astute sneakerheads won’t need to read this description after glancing at the picture above. It’s clear that these are the legendary persian violet colourway, the OG favourite palette for Nike’s Air Classic BW runner. The difference between these and the pair released just before the turn of the year is that these are in women’s sizes and they feature a bit of white mesh in place of the OG version’s black. This means that ladies and sneakerheads with smaller feet will be able to cop these this time around. Though they’re technically a WMNS release, these run up to US size 12, which equates to a men’s 10.5, so many will be pleased to know you can cop these now from Purchaze.

Since we last told you about this Nike Zoom Lebron Soldier III (3) in Black and Olive which features a camouflage print on the outsole we gave little details surrouding the shoe’s release date and detailed images. Now Vault has gotten their shipment and have provided us with a few new images of these Lebron Soldier’s. The upper features a nice rip-stop nylon in Black while the outsole is clear with the camouflage pattern screened underneath of it. These are available now at select Nike Basketball retailers now including Vault.

When Vans Vault released a pack of goatskin sneakers, they opted for a suede treatment plus metallic leather accents. This latest pack uses full grain goatskin for a more traditional leather appearance. The Vans Sk8-Hi Goatskin Pack is comprised of three pairs, one each in red, navy blue or brown. Each has metal eyelets and tonal laces, and are available now from Japanese retailer ABC-Mart.

Nike looks to be working with UNDFTD’s Eddie Cruz again on a coupe of upcoming Dunk High’s from an upcoming collection by Nike Sportswear. Eddie Cruz used a reptile material for both pair’s of the Dunk’s with one pair coming in a Blue, White, and Red colorway inspired by the Los Angeles Dodgers and the other in a Maroon Gold and White colorway inspired by the University of Southern California Trojans. Both pairs should be released in the upcoming months. Stay tuned for more information regarding this pack. via Eddie Cruz

From the David Z-exclusive ‘super blue’ joints to a pair commemorating the Chinese brand’s Guinness World Record, the Asics Gel Lyte III has enjoyed a variety of new colours. Not to be outdone by its older brother, the Gel Lyte Speed appears here in the first of two pairs we’ll show you today to complete a closer look at the trio we first saw a little over a month ago. The pair pictured above comes in a combination of electric blue and hot pink that screams ‘early nineties!’ The ATC-like speckled gradients on the Asics logo add to this theme, while a white, grey and black base provide balance. As with the first pair we saw earlier this week, these are expected sometime next week in extremely limited quantities, so check with your local Asics retailer for more details. via Endorsed

Nike tends to get the most out of good designs, and here are two in one. Seeing that the fresh water colour scheme still has some life in it, Beaverton released it as one of the slew of new Air Max Lights for summer. This pair is mostly white with black tracing the lower vamp along the midsole. The aforementioned signature green appears on the Swooshes, heel embroidery, Air bubbles and outsoles. A nice clean look that’s perfect for warm weather, you can cop these now from Purchaze.

As promised, here’s the third pair of this super rare run of animal skinned sneakers. The Nike Air Max 90s here, like the others, were given to friends and family of NIKEiD employees in commemoration of the AM90′s 20 year run. These might just be the jewel of the pack, featuring blue snakeskin on the upper, along with tonal plastic inserts and an electric blue frame around the Air bubble. The white midsole plus the black accents in the snakeskin make for the most balanced effort in the trio. Act now to cop these before they’re gone: US size 9 is available at MentalKicks.

Having already seen the edition inspired by that evil little mogwai Stripe, let’s take a look at a pair designed after the film’s other main critter. This Gremlins x Reebok Pump Omni Lite is made to resemble the original creature, Gizmo. Though they’re unlikely to transform into something sinister if you get them wet, the furry sections strewn about the upper, sticking out through the brown leather probably wouldn’t respond well to moisture. This fuzzy material is also found on the lining and inside tongue. Throw in some pink on the tongue, side panels and outsole , and the similarity is striking. Part of Reebok’s Monsters Pack, we expect these to drop around the 25th anniversary of Gremlins’ first run, June 8th. via SneakerFreaker

The croc skin versions were excellent, so how about some snakeskin for the 20th anniversary celebration? This pair of Nike Air Max 90s are extremely rare, as they seem to have been limited to friends and families of NIKEiD employees. This tonal white affair are just as suitable for a wedding as your collector’s case, but be sure to act fast. We were able to find one pair in US size 9 at MentalKicks.

Visvim showed us some new Skagway lowtops earlier this week in denim with dirty soles, but wants us to remember that the model is quite versitile. The Visvim Skagway is back in denim, but this time as a laceless lowtop slip-on or a hightop. The lowtop features the Skagway’s signature grid sans laces, while the hightops stretch it vertically. The slip-ons are only available in blue, whereas the hightops come in white, blue, orange or black. These are available now for pre-order from SampleKickz. via HS
