When you think of Salehe Bembury and his sneakers, you think of crazy designs like the Versace Chain Reaction or insane colourways like the Crocs Pollex Clog. You might even think of his upcoming PUMA collab that’s reportedly a game-changer. But the New York City creative’s Salehe Bembury x New Balance 1500 keeps things surprisingly simple. In fact, if you didn’t any better, you’d easily assume that this was just another classic New Balance.
Crafted in the UK in NB’s Flimby factories, this limited edition 1500 features a grey mesh base and is overlaid by light olive pigskin throughout. A “N” is stitched across the lateral and medial sidewalls in white, while co-branded detailing is embroidered on the tongue in a vibrant yellow.
The collar is decked out in plush leather, and underfoot, the midsole is accented with “Cream” and “Pecan” accents for a very vintage vibe. This is infused with ENCAP technology for unrivalled comfort and cushioning. It’s then finished off with a multicoloured rubber outsole that’s designed to keep you on your feet at all times.
You won’t find any special hangtags or fingerprints here. But what you will get is a versatile sneaker that you can rock all day, every day. Plus, all of this comes packed in a special shoebox that was made exclusively for this release.
The Salehe Bembury x New Balance 1500 is expected to drop sometime this month. Let us know what you think of this colourway, and be sure to keep it locked at Captain Creps for your best chance to secure your size!
