Salehe Bembury's Colorful New Balance 1000 "Fog Be The Cloud" Releases Aug. 22

Although he's been following the New York Knicks throughout the 2024-25 NBA Playoffs, Salehe Bembury has not stopped working on footwear. The Los Angeles-based creative recently teased his next project—a New Balance 1000—after a follower asked him about upcoming work during an impromptu Q&A session on social media.

This isn't the first time Bembury has began a sneaker's rollout by sharing a picture to Instagram. His latest effort, however, reveals one of his most colorful collaborations to date. A heel shot of a mismatched NB 1000 appears in the initial teaser, depicting the left shoe with a yellow-and-purple color palette. By contrast, the right shoe indulges in a combination of muted brown-and-olive, as well as rich blue and vibrant neon yellow.

In terms of construction, the "Fog Be The Cloud" project features high-quality suede, diamond-shaped mesh, and patent leather panels donning textured patterns.

Bembury didn't disclose any details alongside his preview of the New Balance pair, but it's possible the project draws inspiration from some aspect of nature akin to his other work.

The NB 1000 "Fog Be The Cloud" by Salehe Bembury is set to release via NewBalance.com and the Be A Spunge webstore on Friday, Aug. 22. Official shots of the shoe are available ahead.
