Salehe Bembury's New Balance 991v2 'Colors Be the Palette' Releases Soon

Salehe Bembury continues his multi-label collaborative ventures with his latest take on the New Balance 991v2.

Known for his vibrant and unconventional designs, Bembury brings a unique twist to this classic silhouette with a bold use of color and texture.

This upcoming edition of the 991v2 features a luxurious long-haired purple suede upper, complemented by a slightly darker purple mesh base. The design is further enhanced with striking accents in royal blue, gold, and deep green, adding layers of visual interest and sophistication. The mid-tongue sports a “v2” tag that harmonizes with a co-branded tongue tag above, showcasing the collaborative spirit of this release.

Bembury's portfolio is burgeoning with upcoming releases, including the New Balance 530, various iterations of the Crocs Juniper, and the ongoing expansion of his Pollex line. Each project continues to stir considerable anticipation and demand among sneaker enthusiasts.

While specific release details for this shaggy suede New Balance 991v2 by Salehe Bembury remain limited, the early sneak peeks suggest it will be as sought-after as his previous works.

On Friday, Feb. 21, the Los Angeles-based artist took to Instagram to share an in-hand look at his 'Colors Be the Palette' collaboration. No further details about a BeASpunge.com or NewBalance.com drop were shared in his post, but the fact that he gave fans a new look at the NB 991v2 suggests a release is getting closer.
