Official Images: Salehe Bembury's Colorful New Balance 1000 Collab

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 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.

Stay tuned for firm release details of the NB 1000 by Salehe Bembury. Pairs should launch via NewBalance.com and the Be A Spunge webstore by the time autumn arrives. Official shots of the shoe are available ahead.
