American footwear designer Salehe Bembury has once again teamed up with New Balance to deliver an all-new sneaker silhouette dubbed the 'Salehe Bembury x New Balance 990v2.'
The sneaker features a soothing coral pink and peach color combination and comes equipped with Bembury's signature mesh uppers. Other notable elements of the new silhouette include a hairy suede finish on the shoe's overlays and the incorporation of a subtle reflective silver material on its toebox. Bringing together the design is a purple 'N' logo on the lateral sides that matches the purple lettering on the shoe's tongue.
The Salehe Bembury x New Balance 990v2 has yet to receive an official release date, though consumers can expect it to be released sometime this year.
