Salehe Bembury & New Balance Drop a Colors be the Palette 991v2

— February 25, 2025 — Fashion
New Balance continues to grow its partnership with Salehe Bembury on a new tonal iteration of the 991v2 sneaker model dubbed the Colors Be the Palette colorway. The shoes are set to launch sometime this year and it is defined by a bold palette with details that nod to Bembury at the tongue and packaging.

The bright shoe is detailed with a blended material in purple at the upper and it features a textural suede overlay on top. Co-branding details can be seen at the tongue and custom packaging is detailed in hues of green, blue, red, off-white, and orange -- all of these tones are scattered throughout the model to round it all out and purple tonal laces enclose it over the forefoot.
