It’s been about half a year considering that Versace’s footwear designer teased the Salehe Bembury x new balance 2002R, and now, it’s dropping just around the corner. Regarded by lots of sneakerheads as one of the most underrated collabs of the year, hype has been slowly but definitely building up over the past few months, and we think that they’re a guaranteed need to cop especially if you haven’t had the pleasure of owning a pair of new Balance.
Arriving in an ultra lively all-orange palette, Bembury’s take on the ML2002R1 is made to turn heads. Crafted from some of the most premium materials any shoe has ever seen, this Antelope Canyon-inspired NB builds atop a breathable mesh base while swathes of suede feature throughout for a buttery smooth touch.
