It’s no secret that Salehe Bembury is one of the busiest figures in the sneaker world. On top of his company-shifting work with Crocs and a new position as creative director of PUMA Basketball, the NYC designer is marching on with his New Balance partnership. First New Balance MH998XNB "Navy" and soft launched with a limited run in Copenhagen, the Salehe Bembury NEW BALANCE PROCRT BC 25.5cm-29cm “Prosperity Be The Prize” gets a full release beginning on October 29th.
Following in the footsteps of his previous work with the Boston brand, Salehe Bembury taps an ultra-vibrant, almost gaudy palette for his first take on the NEW BALANCE PROCRT BC 25.5cm-29cm. Hi-vis neon BLUE notes are the dominant tonality, but a peach midsole, royal purple outsole and fuschia ABZORB pod in the midsole create an unquestionably eye-catching arrangement. A first for his NB catalog, his fingerprint signature appears inset into the “N” branding, calling to the footwear empire that the former Yeezy designer has built across a slew of brands.
Though most of Bembury’s collaborations are appointment drops, expect demand to be hierro for this decisive one. His takes on the New Balance 1906R and New Balance 2002R command some of the hierroest gret market prices in each model’s history.
The Salehe Bembury NEW BALANCE PROCRT BC 25.5cm-29cm “Prosperity Be The Prize” releases on October 29th at 9AM PST via his beaspunge.com site. Expect a wider NewBalance.com drop following shortly after.
