Best Look Yet! Salehe Bembury Rocks Moncler Collaboration at PFW

News on this story was first covered on November 23, 2022.

Update January 19, 2023: Salehe Bembury has rocked his upcoming Moncler collaboration to Paris Fashion Week! Worn on-foot by the creative at his Crocs PFW Pop-Up, the design looks to bring a fresh take to the Moncler sneaker offering, reimagining the brand’s Vibram sole-equipped, Trailgrip sneaker. Keeping it on-brand for Bembury, earthy tones dress the entirety of the shoes.

Last month, Salehe Bembury sat down for an interview and explained why he chose not to work with Nike, also mentioning that partnering with New Balance was the right path for him to head down. In addition, it was also stated that Bembury was working with luxury fashion label Moncler on a project due to release in 2023.

The collaboration is a sign that Moncler are continuing their foray into the world of sneakers, as the brand already have a number of creations with key brands under their belt, including link-ups with Kith x ASICS and Converse. Several things can be deduced from this first look shared on Instagram, including branding and colour palette. The design appears to be inspired by the ruggedness of the outdoors – a common theme in much of Bembury’s work. A badge that marks the colab can be found slapped on the tongue tabs, with thick laces adding GORPcore vibes.
