Salehe Bembury is widely known for collaborations with both New Balance and Cros, but his design resume is much more expansive than those two North American institutions. And while his full catalog has yet to come into fruition, the Los Angeles-based creative has recently unveiled his next partner: Vans.
Touted as a collaboration with Bembury’s Spunge imprint, the newly-surfaced offering from Vault by Vans paints the Authentic silhouette in the fingerprint pattern the 30-something-year-old has referenced across his creative endeavors. Akin to the Salehe Bembury Crocs, the next project indulges in three colors for its inaugural capsule, with green/blue, cream/pink and cream/brown combinations covering the uppers on the Authentic trio. Midsoles are left simple, but license plates at the heel and accompanying waffle-reminiscent tread may receive updates courtesy of the New York-native.
Enjoy a first-look at the collaboration ahead, courtesy of @salehebembury on Instagram, as you wait to try your luck on Thursday, August 4th, via beaspunge.com. Pricing hasn’t been disclosed yet.
