Salehe Bembury X New Balance 2002R Water Be The Guide

Salehe Bembury returns with New Balance for the 2002R "Water Be The Guide"—a nature-inspired evolution of the October 2020 Antelope Canyon collaboration. Vibrant teals overlay a burnt orange mesh base, evoking rivers and waterways across the American landscape. Green "N" logos, running badges, and thumbprint-patterned heel details celebrate the outdoors, while sand-colored mesh and shearling accents ground the design in earth tones. The upper combines blue hairy suede overlays with open-hole mesh underlays, leather hits, and shearling throughout. A shearling N logo and modernized sole unit complete the aesthetic. Underfoot, NERGY foam midsole technology delivers responsive comfort with every step. Packaging features grand rapids and canyon imagery, reinforcing the water-inspired narrative. A tribute to nature's most vital element.
