After months of teases, Salehe Bembury’s New Balance 2002R “Peace Be The Journey” is finally slated for a release this October 23rd. The recently reissued 2002R silhouette gets outfitted in very shaggy suede dyed a dark orange meant to replicate the look of the Antelope Canyons in Arizona. Mauve and orange nubuck accents can be spotted on the heel and toebox overlays while a bright yellow mesh underlay adds an extra pop of color. The baby blue “N” logos are done in fuzzy, brushed cotton resembling clouds. All of this sits atop a white and orange speckled N-ergy midsole with further orange and mauve detailing on the rubber outsole. A full-grain leather tongue and a “Salehe Bembury” tag stretches across the laces as a final piece of branding. A cork insole and special edition box complete the presentation.
