Salehe Bembury took the New Balance 2002R and made it someone special - twice! His 2 collabs on the same running shoe takes Inspiration from being outdoors hiking and exploring. 🥾🎒 . Apparently antelope canyon was one of the locations inspiring the orange 🟠 color way, so I figured horseshoe 🧲 bend was a great choice of landscape since it has water as well! 😄 dropping the sneakers right in the landmark shows these were meant to explore the outdoors. ⛰ Beautiful shoes! 🙌🏼
I started with completing the back drop first since I knew it would take way longer than the sneakers. I think it was worth the time!
Final product!
