Salehe Bembury's rise in the sneaker community has been nothing short of meteoric. Though his resume features giants like Versace and Yeezy, his recent endeavors with New Balance and Crocs have firmly placed him in the spotlight. His earlier preview of a collaborative 1906R with the Boston-based brand during Paris Fashion Week had sneakerheads eagerly anticipating the drop. Fast-forward to Milan Fashion Week, and we're introduced to another iteration of Bembury’s take on the New Balance 1906R.
Diving into the details, Salehe Bembury’s latest take on the New Balance 1906R displays a delightful blend of blue, orange, and purple, evoking a sense of playful exuberance. A vivid orange mesh base sets the tone, complemented by contrasting blue and purple overlays. The orange laces stand out against a purple tongue, proudly sporting the signature New Balance 1906R branding. Further embellishments come in the form of the unmistakable "N" logo on the midfoot, accentuated by a Salehe Bembury-branded tag. To the rear, an orange TPU heel reinforcement draws attention, while a plush maroon foam midsole paired with a purple rubber outsole rounds out the design.
The Salehe Bembury x New Balance 1906R Heat Be Hot Magma will release on January 11, 2024, through Be A Spunge's website. A wider release, possibly through New Balance and select retailers online and in-store, should take place in the coming weeks. Coming in men's sizing, retail is set at $170.
