The Nike Talache Mid is out in some new colorways, mixing materials and colors from opposite sides of the spectrum across the two-pair pack. We saw a Sail/Sail Talache similar to one of these, though that pair featured an off-white checkered pattern along the bottom. These next two provide some options, as one looks to keep it summer year-round while the other provides a boot-like aesthetic.

One pair uses a “rustic” brown color, dressing the upper with nubuck throughout. Slight accents come from the red eyestays on the top and the black six-pack of dots and vulcanized sole striping. The other pair is dressed in “sail” white leather, and is accented with hyper blue on the liner and in the same spots where black is used on the other pair. The Talache has been a polarizing shoe, as some readers have immediately deemed it ugly, while others are in to its non-performance style. Which camp are you in?

This year, we have spotted the Talache in a black/bone colorway and as part of the “Premium Essentials” Pack. However, the seldom-seen Talache will be making a comeback in at least one colorway next spring.

Nike Sportswear will unleash a sail/sail-obisidian Talache during the spring of 2010. The obsidian accents appear on the tongue, top laceholders among other places. As a slight, color contrast feature, this shoe also possesses a darker sail color towards the bottom half of the shoe. What are your thoughts on this upcoming Talache colorway?
