Salehe Bembury has worked on sneaker collabs across brands and launched his own independent footwear label, but throughout his work, Bembury’s wavy lines, funky textures, and natural inspiration unite his sneakers with a common design language.

Salehe Goes Nitro Again

The Salehe Bembury x Puma Velum Nitro 2 is the latest silhouette from Bembury’s ongoing Puma partnership, expanding his running shoe collab with distinctly Salehe style. After previewing the new silhouette last month, Puma is finally set to drop the shoe, debuting the new model in two colorways: White and Orange.
