Salehe Bembury Teases New Balance 991v2 Collab

It’s been less than a year since New Balance first introduced the 991v2 as a lifestyle runner, teaming up with Stone Island to debut the model. Since then, various projects involving the shoe have released one after another, with its new region-exclusive “City Edition” pack as the latest bundle to arrive.
Salehe Bembury has just taken to Instagram to reveal that he’s the next collaborator to grace the 991v2, teasing a pair at Copenhagen Fashion Week, where he gave away free pairs of his upcoming collaboration involving the 530 sneaker. In our two-image preview of Bembury’s first take on the 991v2, it noticeably sports a rough suede in purple across its upper. From there, a royal blue appears at the tongue tag, which notably carries orange co-branding from the duo. Additional pops of color are delivered in green at the lining, off-white at the midsole, gray at the toe overlays, black at the outsole and “N” logo outlines, as well as a pop of lime green at the toe.
At the time of writing, neither New Balance nor Salehe Bembury have shared any details regarding their upcoming collaboration involving the 991v2. Stay tuned for updates, including a closer look at the pair and launch info, as we expect it to release in the coming months via New Balance and select retailers around the $250 USD price point.
