Salehe Bembury has spoken in interviews about the importance of non-exclusivity in his various partnerships, and all you need to do is peruse his current catalog to see how he takes that to its furthest extent. Constantly tackling widespread verticals from slip-on with Crocs, to premium lifestyle with New Balance, to basketball with PUMA, the breadth of his partnership has ensured that regardless of your personal preferences, something out of the greater Spunge universe speaks to your sensibilities.

The PUMA NITRO Velum has been his representative in performance running, now plotting its second act via the Velum NITRO 2. First revealed at the hands of the man himself, retailers now afforded our best look at the silhouette to date. Interestingly, it appears that the sole is untouched, utilizing his signature fingerprint motif that fades into more typical accordion textures towards the toe, all pasted atop patented NITROFOAM cushioning.

The upper is really where the changes take place, as the silhouette shifts into a more opened-up arrangement; the branching overlays of the 1 are replaced by a woozy peaks-and-valleys design. Two new looks add to the pink/red shown by Salehe: a chrome-coated one that sits above a soft yellow platform, and a two-tone grey-on-orange that utilizes both colors in a gradient sole unit.

The Salehe Bembury x PUMA Velum NITRO 2 is listed for September 3rd at overseas retailers. Retail pricing is set at $160.
