SPUNGE'S HERITAGE TREK PACK PUTS THE OSMOSIS ON THE TRAIL

Spunge's Osmosis Heritage Trek Pack goes on sale at beaspunge.com on Thursday, November 12, 2026, at 9am PT and 12pm ET, in three colorways named Kudu, Teton and Yosemite. Salehe Bembury's brand describes the pack as inspired by hiking and the heritage colors that have come to represent it, and Bembury walks through the story on camera himself. Thirteen months after he announced Spunge on October 8, 2025, the designer is back on the subject that made his name in 2020, and this time the shoe, the foam and the label are all his own.

Kudu, Teton and Yosemite Wear Beige, Purple and Blue

Spunge lists the Kudu in beige and black, the Teton in black and purple, and the Yosemite in grey, beige and blue. All three sit on the brand's site as coming soon, with a sign up for launch information ahead of the November 12 release.

Teton and Yosemite share their names with national parks in Wyoming and California, and a kudu is an African antelope known for its spiral horns. Spunge has not published a note tying each color to its namesake, so the reading stops at the names. Beige, black, purple and blue are what the brand means by heritage colors here, the tones it says hiking has come to be represented by.

The launch is a direct sale on Spunge's own site at one fixed hour for both coasts. That differs from the Osmosis debut, which went through a raffle in October 2025, and from the November 15, 2025 retail launch that ran through 12 stores. No price is posted for the pack. Earlier Osmosis releases sold for $150, including the October 2025 raffle pairs and the Merlot and Mung pairs that arrived on April 16, 2026.

A 4,000 Foot Morning Climb Came Before the Brand

Bembury's hiking habit is documented back to September 2020, when Hypebeast reported that he took a two hour hike with a 4,000 foot ascent each morning. His New Balance 2002R, titled Peace Be the Journey, released on October 23, 2020, in orange hairy suede and red leather meant to mimic the rocky canyons he walked.

That shoe turned a former Versace footwear executive into a name sneaker buyers followed. A second 2002R, Water Be the Guide, followed in June 2021, and the Crocs Pollex Clog arrived late that year. Each of those projects put his ideas on another company's product.

The Heritage Trek Pack reverses the arrangement. Six years after Peace Be the Journey, the trail story is told on a silhouette Bembury owns and sold through a site his own brand runs.

Squish Tech Sits Under All Three Pairs

The Osmosis is Spunge's first shoe, built around a cushioning system the brand calls SQUISH TECH: a proprietary foam held inside an engineered stability cage and visible through domes at the heel. Product listings describe a durable ripstop upper, a mesh tongue, dipped silicone laces, an OrthoLite sockliner and an outsole of organic traction rubber.

Ripstop is the detail that suits this pack. The fabric's grid of reinforcing threads was developed to stop tears from spreading, which is why it turns up in tents, packs and trail jackets, so an upper Spunge chose in 2025 already speaks the language of the gear the new colors point at.

The model first reached buyers through a raffle on beaspunge.com, with winners notified on October 13, 2025, in Yukon, Mung, Malawi and Slaw. The retail launch a month later came in Shallot, Yukon, Feta and Orca. Spunge operates in partnership with Violet St, a Los Angeles company, and Hypebeast reported in October 2025 that Bembury turned down a partnership with Nike to build it. Andscape described Spunge as positioned as the first designer led label in a sneaker industry it sized at $94.1 billion.

"How we execute Spunge will be product over everything," Bembury told Andscape. He has kept outside work alongside it: Puma's Hali 1 Pace, the Pacers colorway of Tyrese Haliburton's signature basketball shoe that Bembury designed, went on sale October 23, 2026.

Three Spunge Rollouts in Thirty One Days

Spunge introduced the Overdye Pack on October 12, 2026, announced its second model on October 23, and releases the Heritage Trek Pack on November 12. That is three launches in 31 days from a brand that spent most of its first year on one shoe.

Each one has been sold on a different idea. The Overdye Pack was about process, with every pair going into a dye drum and coming out one of a kind. The Lumina in Cenote went on sale October 29 in a color the brand said was picked on instinct instead of data and research. Heritage Trek goes the other way and borrows colors a whole category agreed on long before Spunge existed.

Collaboration has been the fourth lever. The Satoshi Nakamoto Osmosis was set for July 2, 2026, and in that month Bembury and Studio Proba founder Alex Proba released 80 handmade Soft Imprints rugs and 200 pillows.

Hiking is the oldest of those ideas in his catalog, older than Spunge by five years. The Osmosis in Kudu, Teton and Yosemite opens at 9am PT on November 12, 2026, six years and twenty days after the 2002R that started with a 4,000 foot climb.
