The SB-02 'Green' is a product of the collaboration between designer Salehe Bembury and the Chinese sportswear giant, ANTA. This partnership aimed to deliver a high-quality sneaker at an accessible price point, specifically under $100. The design concept drew inspiration from bird's nests encountered during Bembury's hikes, which directly influenced the 'Nest' cushioning technology.
Primarily designed for walking, hiking, and other outdoor pursuits, the SB-02 'Green' is also well-suited for casual wear and street style. The shoe's construction adapts to various foot shapes, accommodating both wide and narrow feet, further enhanced by its high platform. The design is a versatile option for diverse activities, reflecting its adaptability.
The SB-02 'Green' has been prominently associated with figures like Amine, who appeared in the SB-01 and SB-02 Ad Campaigns in January 2021. The campaigns also featured Jamie King, contributing to the shoe's initial visibility. This strategic association with key figures demonstrates the SB-02's intent to capture the attention of sneaker enthusiasts and outdoor aficionados alike, cementing its status within the cultural landscape.
The SB-02 'Green' boasts a low-top profile with a layered upper composed of neoprene, elastic knit, TPU, and rubber. Key design elements include cut-out detailing, a trail-ready midsole, and an oval design aesthetic. The lacing system provides enhanced support, and the shoe incorporates ANTA's Flash Foam tech within its Nest cushioning system.
