Salehe Bembury — sneaker collaborations
Designer Salehe Bembury has carved out a unique place in the sneaker world with his organic, nature-inspired design language. After stints at Cole Haan, adidas Yeezy (from 2015) and a role as head of sneakers at Versace, he built a series of widely discussed collaborations under his own brand Spunge. On this page his collabs are gathered together, with the prices, sizes and availability from multiple online stores listed side by side for each release.
From the Crocs Pollex Clog to New Balance
His Crocs Pollex Clog from 2021 became an unexpected phenomenon: Crocs broke with the silhouette of the Classic Clog and the release was one of the fastest global sellouts ever for the brand. In 2022 seven new colorways followed, each selling out within hours; in 2023 Bembury became creative director of the Pollex Pod line.
Equally defining is his work with New Balance. The 574 appeared in two collections (2021 and 2022), followed by the much-praised 2002R iterations with their signature hairy suede and earthy colours. He also explored the same eye for texture and material with Clarks.
