Salehe Bembury and Puma are back with the Velum 2 Nitro, a new runner that brings his sculpted design style to a mesh build with NITROFOAM underfoot. The shoe will launch in “Terracotta” and “Alloy” colorways on September 3, 2026.

Terracotta carries the louder of the two looks. Peach tones wrap the toe, eyestay, lower sidewalls, and midsole, while red mesh fills the toe box and midfoot. Curved sections divide the colors across the upper, giving the shoe the same organic, molded feel that has become a regular part of Bembury’s footwear work.

Fingerprint-style textures show up on the tongue and continue onto the midsole, adding one of Bembury’s most recognizable design cues without taking over the shoe. Puma’s NITROFOAM sits underfoot, bringing running-based cushioning into a model that leans more toward everyday wear than performance use.

The Alloy colorway keeps the same shape and construction but strips back the palette with white and grey across the upper. That simpler setup puts more attention on the layered build, mesh sections, and exaggerated curves running through the design.

The Salehe Bembury x Puma Velum 2 Nitro releases first on August 31, 2026, through Salehe Bembury’s website. A wider launch follows on September 3, 2026, through Puma and select retailers. Both colorways are priced at $160.
