Salehe Bembury continues to make waves in the sneaker industry with his prolific collaborations, and his latest venture with New Balance is highly anticipated. Initially, fans expected a different silhouette to drop first, especially considering Bembury’s recent appearances in a striking purple iteration of the 990v2. However, the focus now shifts to the new 1500 Made in UK model, which showcases a sophisticated design featuring a light grey base complemented by sandy tones, and subtle pops of color including yellow, olive, orange, and purple. This release not only highlights the creative synergy between Bembury and New Balance but also reflects the designer’s evolution since he first captured the spotlight as a footwear designer in 2020. With a price point set at $275, sneaker enthusiasts will want to keep an eye out for its launch, likely through Bembury’s Spunge website before a wider New Balance release later this month.
