Hairy Suede Colorful Sneakers

Salehe Bembury Unveils the 574 YURT Sneaker Pack With New Balance

— April 22, 2022 — Lifestyle
Salehe Bembury introduces the new Universal Communication 574 YURT sneaker made in collaboration with New Balance. It takes the 574 sneaker model as the base foundation of the shoe and adds features that are suited for the outdoor environment.

The upper is made from a blend of hairy suede materials and offset by leather panels on top along with layered mesh with a special whistle on the heel. Speaking about the new 574 YURT collaboration, Bembury states, “You already need many different tools when venturing outdoors [...] The New Balance 574 YURT was created so that you don’t have to worry about remembering every item, because we’ve merged two into one with a whistle on the sneaker.”
