Description

Salehe Bembury's fifth collaboration with New Balance takes the iconic 990v2 and transforms it into a wearable ode to the vast, undulating sand dunes of Southern Utah. Inspired by desert landscapes, this sneaker layers sandy orange and pink-tinted suede with luxurious wide-gauge athletic mesh, anchored by a striking purple chenille N logo that cuts through the warm palette. Built on Made in USA heritage and finished with ABZORB cushioning technology, the "Sand Be the Time" proves that sometimes the most powerful designs emerge when you let geography dictate your color story.

Premium Long-Hair Suede Construction

The upper wraps around your foot in exceptionally soft, shaggy suede that mimics the texture and appearance of desert sand dunes. This luxury material feels noticeably different from standard sneaker builds, delivering a tactile experience that rewards close inspection and wear over time.

Wide-Gauge Athletic Mesh Detailing

Salehe sources the same wide-gauge mesh used across his previous New Balance collaborations, replacing the silhouette's standard tightly-knit weave. This intentional material choice creates visual depth and breathing room throughout the upper while maintaining the 990v2's structural integrity.

ABZORB Cushioning and Made in USA

These kicks rest on ABZORB soles dressed in salmon shades matching the upper, paired with Made in USA construction standards representing New Balance's 75-year heritage. The combination delivers responsive comfort engineered for all-day wearability without compromising on quality craftsmanship.

Desert Wanderer Aesthetic

Pair with tailored sand-colored chinos, a cream linen overshirt, and a structured tote bag. Add a lightweight desert-tone scarf and minimal jewelry to lean into the geographic inspiration while maintaining sophisticated simplicity throughout the outfit.

Urban Neutrals with Pops

Layer oversized cream sweatshirt with vintage-wash denim and neutral cargo pants. The sneaker's purple accents become your color statement, so keep the rest muted. Finish with a sleek crossbody bag and minimal accessories for balanced streetwear energy.

Monochromatic Earthy Tones

Build around the sneaker using layered earth tones: caramel wool sweater, tan corduroy jacket, and cream trousers. Let the shoe anchor the palette while maintaining cohesive warmth. Complete with a leather belt and simple watch for effortless polish.
