While New Balance has shown it’s not afraid of a colorful pop of color in the past, Salehe Bembury is pushing the limits with a vivid new sneaker. A long-time partner of New Balance, Salehe Bembury tends to deliver footwear collaborations that combine premium details with a unique twist. Taking on one of New Balance’s most retro silhouettes, the duo’s recent collaboration is a modern take that blends retro with fashion. This sneaker is a kaleidoscope of colors that perfectly fits a new season, hitting stores just in time for the start of spring. Ideal for those unafraid of rocking various hues, this design is far from your neutral and subtle option. Despite its vivid colorway, the sneaker can be easy to style with similar tones, making it a fun incorporation for any wardrobe.
Salehe Bembury x New Balance 991v2 “Colors Be The Palette”
As the name would suggest, Salehe Bembury and New Balance’s “Colors Be The Palette” is a chic array of colors built around an iconic New Balance silhouette. With the brand’s 991v2 as a base for the sneaker, the design utilizes purple mixed materials to compose the uppers. Pops of orange, blue, gold, and green accents are found throughout the shoe, which give it its colorful palette. The purple and beige two-tone midsole is accented with a rose hue. Co-branding details are spread throughout the design, marking the unique partnership between brands. It will be released on March 13 via Bembury’s BeASpunge website and retail for $250. A future global release will hit the New Balance web store the following week. While not suited for the most minimal dresser, this sneaker will surely be a spring favorite.
