Unveiled on Instagram via a 3D-animated video, the newest member of the Salehe Bembury Crocs roster indulges in a cherry blossom-inspired pink tone. Protection at the forefoot deviates from the remainder of the upper, working in-tandem with the hardware and strap that delivers function to the pair, as well as the semi-translucent, fingerprint-stylized tread underfoot to inject personality to the otherwise uniform proposition. Akin to Bembury’s past work with Crocs – and New Balance – the “Kuwata” colorway looks to the great outdoors for inspiration, further demonstrating the Los Angeles-based creative’s affinity for nature; promotional material for the upcoming release showcases an animated Bembury sketching the very shoe under a cherry blossom tree while he wears signature pieces from his own Spunge imprint.
