While it seems as if New Balance always has a new collaboration in the works, the athletic company still manages to surprise with each release. Via retailer, A Ma Maniére, New Balance and Salehe Bembury unveiled a brand new design ideal for neutral lovers. Using only small hints of vivid color throughout the shoe, this release is perfect for those looking to add a luxurious touch to their wardrobe in the new year. Although the sneaker appears to be your everyday sneaker, hidden details let users make a statement at the lift of a foot. Unlike previous New Balance collaborations, this partnership is only available via a draw, making it an even more exclusive design.

In this new release, both Salehe Bembury and New Balance opted for a subtle approach on the 1500 model, while infusing bold details. Warm beige suede overlays, gray mesh on the toe box, and gray leather on the collar compose the shoe’s exterior. The branded logo on the tongue and heel adds a pop of bright yellow to the design. For those looking for a bigger pop of color, the sneaker’s soles offer a chance for a statement-style moment. The tan-yellow midsole is updated with a brown block at the heel, while a purple and orange accent is found on the side. The grey outsoles are also emphasized with a green panel in the center heel and a bright blue accent on the heel. This collaborative sneaker is priced at $275 and will be sold to those picked in a lottery conducted via A Ma Maniére. Only those chosen in the raffle will get the opportunity to purchase the sneaker instantly.

Zenith’s summer dream watch ends epic Surfer collaboration
Zenith and Time+Tide complete surfer trilogy with white ceramic masterpiece
Skyline skeleton surfer ceramic blue background

Zenith and Time+Tide have completed their celebrated "Surfer Trilogy" with the release of the Defy Skyline Skeleton White Surfer Ceramic, marking the third and final collaboration between the Swiss manufacturer and the Australian watch media company.
The 100-piece limited edition follows the success of previous collaborations: the micro-blasted titanium Defy Classic Skeleton Night Surfer in 2021 and the Defy Skyline Skeleton Night Surfer El Primero in 2023. Both earlier releases sold out quickly, establishing this partnership as one of the watch industry's most successful ongoing collaborations.
The new White Surfer Ceramic maintains the signature blue gradient openworked dial concept that appears across all three editions while introducing a fresh summer aesthetic. The 41mm white ceramic case offers scratch resistance and ultra-light comfort, making it suitable for beach activities with 10 ATM water resistance.
"With this third chapter in our collaboration, we're not just continuing a story, we're elevating it," said Benoît de Clerck, CEO of Zenith. "Each edition has deepened our creative dialogue, and this new release is the boldest expression yet of what we can achieve together."
The timepiece features a gradient blue dial that transitions from darker blue at the top to light blue at the bottom. The bridges adopt Zenith's five-pointed star design filled with Super-LumiNova, a feature previously seen only in the original Night Surfer model.
Powering the watch is the skeletonized automatic El Primero 3620 SK caliber, rendered in matching blue tones. The high-frequency movement beats at 5Hz and offers approximately 55 hours of power reserve. Its 1/10th second hand is driven directly from the escapement, maintaining Zenith's chronograph heritage.
"There's a huge risk in trying for a trilogy when the first two collabs have been so popular," noted Andrew McUtchen, founder of Time+Tide. "But when we saw the prototype of an 'inverted' Night Surfer, in brushed white ceramic, we just had to make it happen."
The watch includes both an integrated white ceramic bracelet and a white patterned rubber strap. Zenith's quick strap-change mechanism allows tool-free switching between options, enhancing versatility for different activities.
The Defy Skyline Skeleton White Surfer Ceramic represents a significant departure from the darker titanium finishes of previous collaborations, embracing a lighter, summer-focused aesthetic while maintaining the technical excellence that defined the series.
The limited edition will be available through Time+Tide, authorized Zenith retailers worldwide, and Zenith's physical and online boutiques. Given the rapid sellout history of previous Surfer editions, collectors are expected to act quickly when the watch becomes available.
With this release, Zenith and Time+Tide conclude what has become one of the most successful ongoing collaborations in contemporary watchmaking, spanning four years and three distinct timepieces that redefined collaborative watch design.
