Salehe Bembury is a name that resonates with innovation and design prowess in the sneaker industry. Known for his influential work with Versace and Yeezy, Bembury has carved out a niche that merges high fashion with streetwear sensibility. His partnership with Crocs has particularly disrupted the footwear scene, with the Crocs Pollex Pod collection becoming a cult favorite. As we begin 2024, Bembury hints at expanding his creative influence with Crocs beyond the iconic clogs and slides into something more conventional in sneaker design.
The anticipated Salehe Bembury x Crocs Pollex Juniper will radically depart from the clogs and slides we've expected from their collaboration. Bembury’s recent social media tease showcased a tantalizing glimpse into the future: a sneaker that blends Crocs’ signature comfort with a sleek, low-top design. An internal bootie featuring mesh and neoprene is covered by a rubberized shell that comes covered in an organic pattern. Perforations on the toe and heel aid breathability while laces help secure your foot. Branding is found atop the tongue with Crocs and Salehe co-branding alongside the model's name: Juniper. Underfoot sits a chunky rubber sole unit that contains the 3D fingerprint design Bembury is famous for.
The Salehe Bembury x Crocs Pollex Juniper Guava will release May 30, 2024, through Be A Spunge, Crocs, and select retailers online and in-store. Sizes and pricing details have yet to be announced. Download the Sole Retriever mobile app to ensure you don't miss out on this groundbreaking release.
