Salehe Bembury x New Balance 1500 "GROWTH BE THE TREE” Gets Official Release Date

 

Dropping at Be a Spunge on February 6.

Salehe Bembury and New Balance are back with a fresh collaboration, bringing a unique twist to the classic 1500 silhouette. Named “GROWTH BE THE TREE,” this latest release blends earthy tones with vibrant accents, staying true to Bembury’s signature nature-inspired designs.

The sneaker features neutral suede overlays in beige, paired with cool gray mesh on the toebox and gray leather at the collar for a premium look. Bright yellow embroidery highlights the co-branded tongue and NB emblem on the heel. However, the standout detail is the colorful midsole and outsole—a mix of butter yellow, brown, purple, orange, green, and electric blue—adding a bold contrast to the otherwise subtle design.

Unlike Bembury’s previous New Balance 1906R “Heat Be Hot”, which featured eye-catching silver overlays and fiery gradients, this New Balance 1500 keeps things understated yet stylish.

The Salehe Bembury x New Balance 1500 “GROWTH BE THE TREE” releases on February 6 at 9 AM PST via Be a Spunge for $275 USD.
