The unisex low top sneakers in Purple Heart with Mulled Grape and Nautical Blue continue Bembury’s exploration of nature with a vivid palette inspired by Death Valley’s desert landscapes. Following up on the “Growth Be the Tree” 1500, this second UK-made collaboration channels rugged terrain through color, texture, and detail.
The upper blends hairy suede overlays with breathable mesh and synthetic accents for dynamic visual depth and a tactile feel. Reflective touches and bold color pops at the midsole, heel, and outsole enhance the silhouette’s layered construction, while the stitched, co-branded tongue and sockliner nod to both creative collaborators.
Performance meets artistry with a full-length FuelCell midsole, ENCAP cushioning, and semi-translucent ABZORB SBS pods for superior comfort and responsiveness. Finished with custom packaging, this Flimby-crafted 991v2 is a bold, collectible evolution of one of New Balance’s most iconic silhouettes.
