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.

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.

In the past, New Balance has experimented with both colorful and minimalist designs. While a few of their last sneakers have introduced pops of colors throughout, none have had quite the colorful palette as their newest release. Perfectly apt for the future summer season, the most recent New Balance release is not just full of color but a bold kaleidoscope of color. Infusing neon hues throughout the sneaker, this shoe is possibly one of the brand’s brightest. Although the unique colorway captures the eye, the performance features continue to deliver. Fully enriched in 2000s design, this lifestyle sneaker is a flashy, maximalist shoe ready to take over. Whether you need a comfy and statement shoe to run errands or go on walks, this sneaker does all that and more.
Shine bright with New Balance 740 “Neon Nights”

Aptly named “Neon Nights”, the newest New Balance sneaker is a bold color palette waiting to be worn. Crafted with a ‘Concord Grape’ mesh base, the sneaker takes shape with ‘Purple Fuchsia’ forefoot overlays accenting the vibrant tone. To add even more pop of color, the shoe has “Sun Glow’ yellow accents on the tongue tag, New Balance logos, and the front outsole. Blue and silver tones take over the quarter and heel, while an orange midsole brightens the design even more. Features like the ABZORB midsole and rubber outsole ensure that users look great and feel comfortable and stable. Available via the New Balance web store, the ‘Neon Nights’ sneaker retails for $109. Although the maximalist and vibrancy of the sneaker isn’t for everyone, this bold design is ready to be worn and seen in any scenario.

adidas continues to elevate with a new luxury Gazelle sneaker

adidas releases new Gazelle sneaker

After the success of adidas’ luxury Samba sneaker from the Made in Italy collection, the famed athletic brand is elevating another one of their iconic silhouettes. With the Gazelle sneaker on the forefront this time, adidas adds some luxury to the casual sneaker with premium materials and craftsmanship. While the Gazelle has recently seen some sophisticated upgrades with the Dime collaboration, the new iteration of the shoe sees a sleeker and more minimalist approach. On trend with the elevation of specific sneakers by brands, the Gazelle sneaker appears to mimic more of the look of a classic Italian dress shoe rather than an everyday shoe. Whether you wear it with your suits or everyday wear, this stylish Gazelle shoe is another way to elevate your footwear rotation.
adidas Gazelle Indoor Made in Italy

Donning a monochromatic black colorway, the adidas Gazelle Indoor is the next design getting an elevated treatment via the brand’s Made In Italy collection. The sneakers are crafted from locally sourced premium leather and a black suede T-toe panel for added texture. While crafted in all-black, the smooth leather and texturized suede mixture allows for an elevated and versatile look. While most Gazelle sneakers contain branding around the sneaker, this iteration will have a more minimalist approach. With a debossed effect, the Gazelle branding is incorporated on the tongue and its heel and quarter. Finishing the sleek look are waxed laces that bring it all together. The newest Gazelle sneaker will be available via the adidas webstore starting March 13 and retail for $350. An easy way to wear sneakers with your more formal attire, the Gazelle Indoor Made in Italy sneaker is an investment in a versatile shoe that’ll see plenty of use.
