The New Balance 992 x Salehe Bembury “Green Multi” is shaping up to be one of the biggest releases of the year, and this is exactly the kind of collab that gets people talking. Whenever Salehe touches a silhouette, he brings a completely different energy, and seeing him work on the 992 feels like a proper moment for both him and New Balance.
This pair is all about texture and depth. You’ve got rich green hairy suede layered over breathable mesh with blue and grey accents that give it that outdoors inspired feel. It has that rugged, nature driven aesthetic Salehe is known for, but it still keeps the clean, premium structure that makes the 992 such a respected model. The balance between bold colour and wearable design is done perfectly here.
The 992 already carries serious weight in sneaker culture, especially within the Made in USA line, and adding Salehe’s design language to it just elevates it further. It feels collectible without trying too hard, and it fits right into the current wave of statement runners dominating rotations.
At KershKicks, we always pay attention to collabs that push things forward while respecting the heritage of the silhouette, and this one does exactly that. Expect hype, expect demand, and expect this to be one people look back on as a standout release.
