Before we take a detailed look at the Salehe Bembury x New Balance 2002R Water Be The Guide. Let me walk you through some history!

Salehe Bembury x New Balance | History

New Balance has a bit of history with luxury footwear, often delving into making a few models for “The Bosses”.

In 2002, the New Balance 2002R was one of them. Designed and marketed as a luxury performance sneaker built with premium materials and targeted at those that desired the finer things in life.

That’s likely why the silhouette fits perfectly with the ethos of Salehe Bembury’s own business model.

Built around luxury footwear, Salehe Bemubury is an American brand and designer born in 1986. Bembury built his reputation by designing high-end sneakers while also working with the likes of Versace, GAP, Yeezy, and Cole Haan.

New Balance and Salehe collaborated for the first time in 2020. On a sneaker that many argue is one of the best that dropped during the year.

The latest Salehe Bembury New Balance 2002R Water Be The Guide is once again introduced by ex Greys Anatomy star Jessie Williams.

To estimate its resale, let’s head over to StockX.

Salehe Bembury New Balance 2002R Peace Be The Journey

Retail Price: $150

Peak Resell: $900

Release Date: 10/23/2020

Colorway: Burnt Orange/Yellow-White

2020s Salehe Bembury New Balance 2002R features a myriad of colors and textures. Drawing inspiration from Southwest America’s Antelope Canyon.

The hues reminiscent of this canyon are reflected onto the suede and mesh uppers. Giving off orange and yellow tints, a tribute to the dry landscape of Antelope Canyon.

Furry blue “N” logos and multi-colored soles complete the design.

The average selling price of these sneakers is over $350 per pair. That’s a gross profit of over $200! The “Water Be the Guide” will likely have a similar resale value.

Salehe Bembury x New Balance 2002R Water | A Closer Look

Retail Price: $150

Estimated Resell: $300

Release Date: June 25^th/2021

Colorway: CYAN/LIME/BROWN

Salehe Bembury draws inspiration from his various journeys and destinations. Implementing hues of his surrounding onto his projects.

“Peace Be the Journey” 2002R was inspired by the dry and sandy climate of Antelope Canyon. His latest collaboration, however, borrows hues from a place that’s the antithesis of the dry canyon.

Inspired by Bembury’s trip to Havasu Falls, this 2002R features cool color tones. Starting with the blue hairy suede upper, it’s inspired by the movement and energy of the waterfall.

Meanwhile, the mesh paneling with pale backgrounds represents sand meeting the fresh waters of the fall. Green “N” logos on the lateral sides, speckled white midsoles, and multi-colored outsoles complete the design.

How To Buy For Retail

You can buy these kicks at select retailers and newbalance.com on June 25^th. The retail price is set at $150 per pair.

Estimated Resale Value

The last sneakers were incredibly popular and sold out instantly. Expect the same for this 2002R.

Using my estimated resale value, expect gross profits of around $150 per pair. That’s “Good” according to our Hype Meter.
