They're incredibly cool, but I can't pull them off.

The materials and colors are diverse, and they look amazing in person.

The latest collaboration between New Balance and Salehe Bembury, the "Salehe Bembury x New Balance 1000," is inspired by the fantastical mist of the Smoky Mountains.

Salehe Bembury's inspiration from nature is incorporated into the New Balance "1000," a representative model. This work, titled "Fog be the cloud," combines the classic model born in the millennium with the rich textures and colors inspired by the Smoky Mountains. The Smoky Mountains span Tennessee and North Carolina, located in the southern part of the Appalachian Mountains.

The "smoky haze" that gave the mountain range its name is created by naturally occurring fog that covers the mountains, creating a surreal and dreamlike atmosphere. This mysterious atmosphere inspired the latest collaboration between designer Salehe Bembury and New Balance.

Reflecting the diverse natural environment, the design combines leather overlays, long-haired suede toes, spacer mesh vamps, and rubber outsoles.

The calm blue is taken from the ridgelines of the mountains, the coral pink from the evening sky, and the deep tones from the forests that spread at the foot of the mountains. The unique design, which reflects the calm earth, has a presence as unique as the serene scenery.

Thank you for viewing.
