Salehe Bembury x New Balance 574 YURT 'Universal Communication - Emerald Sky'

Salehe Bembury takes the New Balance 574 into wild new territory with the YURT 'Universal Communication - Emerald Sky,' a full-on reinvention pulling from the Test Road 3.0, 755, and 990 v3 for that outdoorsy edge you didn't know you needed. Picture this chunky beast landing in your rotation: hairy emerald suede wraps the upper like some untamed forest pelt, neon green synthetic leather guards the toe for real durability, layered mesh breathes easy, and reflective hits catch the light just right. Then there's the functional heel whistle - because Bembury figured you'd forget yours on the trail, so he slapped it on the shoe itself. Absorb SBS midsole stacks high with RollBar stability underfoot, speckled yellow rubber outsole grips like it's plotting your next adventure, complete with that extended heel flap for torsional lockdown. It's trail-ready, street-tough, and weirdly addictive in teal-turquoise vibes that scream universal communication, whatever that means in Bembury's brain - which is probably brilliant.

Hairy Suede Upper

The upper bursts with long-haired emerald suede across mid panels and toe, delivering that tactile, outdoorsy texture Bembury loves - think rugged forest vibes meets street edge. Neon green synthetic leather overlays boost durability on high-wear zones like the toe box medial edge, while layered mesh underlays keep airflow going strong. Reflective accents pop for visibility, and the functional heel whistle adds survival-ready utility without compromising the chunky silhouette's bold presence. It's built tough for trails yet light enough to flex daily.

Absorb SBS Midsole

Super chunky Absorb SBS midsole in gray elevates the ride with impact-absorbing cushioning, segmented by dark gray pods for segmented support. Heel features blue foam pill protrusions channeling stability, paired with New Balance's RollBar technology - a sturdy plate visible on medial side that fights overpronation and locks in torsional control. Foam feels firm rather than plush, prioritizing structure for trail confidence over pillow softness, making every step feel planted and purposeful.

Trail Grip Outsole

Speckled yellow rubber outsole packs aggressive trail traction patterns to chew through mud, rocks, or urban grit without mercy. Extended heel flap curves upward on medial side for extra bite, reinforced by gray TPU bar with NB branding for rigid stability. This setup pairs with the RollBar shank to eliminate ankle-roll risks, turning the 574 YURT into a grip machine that's surprisingly light despite the beefy look - perfect for off-road hauls or city stomps.

Trail Explorer Fit

Pair with relaxed cargo pants in olive green, a breathable NB Yurt tech fleece for layering, and a waterproof shell jacket to match the emerald tones. Add wool socks for cushion, a beanie in neutral gray, and a rugged backpack - ready to hit actual trails without missing a streetwear beat, blending function with that Bembury flair.

Urban Trail Mix

Rock these with slim black jeans, an oversized graphic tee in white with neon accents, layered under a denim trucker jacket. Chunky chain necklace and reflective shades amp the vibe; finish with tech gloves for that hybrid street-to-path energy, letting the Emerald Sky hues pop against monochromatic basics.

Weekend Hike Casual

Team up with technical chinos in khaki, a merino wool hoodie in teal for color harmony, and a lightweight puffer vest. Slip on mid-calf socks, grab aviators and a crossbody bag - ideal for casual weekend rambles or coffee runs, where trail toughness meets everyday laid-back style.
