Salehe Bembury ventures across the footwear industry, holding deals with numerous brands that allow him to collaborate on exciting new projects throughout the year. Fresh off announcing his work on a new Puma Basketball model and launching new colorways of his Crocs Pollex Clog, Bembury continues to push boundaries. Today, he gave away pairs of his upcoming New Balance 530 collaboration in Copenhagen. Now, he has taken to his Instagram stories to share images of his take on the New Balance 991v2.
Salehe Bembury’s take on the New Balance 991v2 Made in UK features a premium construction with a blend of high-quality materials. The upper is predominantly covered in a lilac purple pigskin suede, complemented by mesh and nubuck accents. Silver overlays adorn the toebox, while blue hues accentuate the vamp and the Salehe Bembury co-branded tongue tag.
Additional colors include a green sockliner and a pop of volt yellow near the rubber extending up from the outsole on the toe. Bembury's signature fingerprint detail is reserved for the branding window on the lateral heel. The shoe is completed with a FuelCell-cushioned midsole in a cream hue, providing comfort and support, paired with a black and volt rubber outsole for durability and traction.
The Salehe Bembury x New Balance 991v2 Made in UK will release March 13, 2025, through Salehe Bembury’s Be A Spunge website. A release via New Balance and select retailers will come at a later date. Coming in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $250. Download the Sole Retriever mobile app to stay updated on the latest releases, raffles, news, and more in the sneaker and streetwear world.
