Get Up Close With the Salehe Bembury x New Balance 991v2 “Purple”

Without a shadow of a doubt, Salehe Bembury is one of the busiest guys in the entire sneaker industry. After teasing a potential collab with PUMA just earlier this month, the New York City-based footwear designer has now revealed the Salehe Bembury x New Balance 991v2 “Purple” – his first ever take on the iconic silhouette.

Unveiled at Copenhagen Fashion Week, the 991v2 follows Bembury’s signature design language. The upper is draped in a delicate combination of purple mesh and pigskin suede, while 3M hit the toebox so you can flex your kicks even in low light conditions. A dash of royal blue hits the tongue tag, and the entire sockliner arrives in a minty green hue that’s sure to turn heads wherever you go.

Underfoot, the midsole is infused with Abzorb foam for extra comfort and cushioning with every step, and it’s also fitted with New Balance‘s FuelCell tech for even more support. This is then accented with a pop of yellow, finalising the design. All of this then comes packed in a special edition box that’s going to be almost as popular as the actual trainers themselves.

With intricate detailing and a thoughtfully curated colour palette, the Salehe Bembury x New Balance 991v2 “Purple” is a testament to his ability to reimagine classic silhouettes with a contemporary twist. Expected to drop sometime in Autumn 2024, let us know if you’ll be adding it to your collection, and make sure to keep it locked at Captain Creps for your best chance to secure your size!
