Where to Buy Salehe Bembury's New Balance 1500 Collab

Salehe Bembury has designed his own iteration of the premium Made in UK New Balance 1500 sneaker, as evidenced by these images here.

Newly leaked photos from @Brandon1an on X show an early look at the footwear designer's tan-colored 1500 collab. As is the case with most of the Made in UK range, the sneaker was produced in the brand's Flimby factory and comes with a higher price tag. The upper is equipped with a combination of mesh and soft pigskin suede overlay panels, while co-branding is embroidered on the tongue. Completing the design is an Encap-cushioned midsole. The final result is one of Bembury’s most subtle sneaker collabs to date.

According to @Brandon1an, Bembury's Made in UK New Balance 1500 collab will hit stores later this month for $275, but this has yet to be confirmed by Bembury or New Balance. Check back soon for official updates.

UPDATE (02/04): Bembury has officially confirmed that his "Growth be the Tree" New Balance 1500 collab will be released on Thursday, Feb. 6, exclusively at Beaspunge.com for $275. A wider launch of the project is expected to arrive at New Balance stockists in the coming weeks.
