SPUNGE has officially expanded its footwear roster with the launch of the SPUNGE Lumina “Cenote”. Conceived by founder and creative visionary Salehe Bembury, the model represents the brand’s latest evolution in functional footwear, offering a refined, lightweight build tailored for daily wear.
Powered by SPUNGE’s proprietary SQUISH TECH cushioning system, the versatile silhouette incorporates a full-length caged foam footbed engineered for a stable, padded, and resilient ride underfoot. The design sheds 70 grams to arrive 15 percent lighter than the brand’s debut Osmosis model, utilizing an upper crafted from Spunge MONO-LITE—a durable, ultra-lightweight monomesh material. Overlapping panels are deliberately positioned across the silhouette to create multi-dimensional depth through translucent layers.
While presenting an all-new shape, the true-to-size silhouette retains signature hallmarks of the SPUNGE design language, including 5D Haptic Tactile Touch Zones along the tongue and the recognizable division line running between the toes.
“We made sure that even though we were introducing something completely fresh, the design lines and the signature details felt heritage,” said Bembury. “It was primarily inspired by research and then trying to introduce some new ideas and new thought.” Reflecting on the vibrant “Cenote” palette, Bembury added: “I think the industry chooses color off of data and research, and I choose color off of my gut. With color juxtaposition, it can either make the audience comfortable or intimidated, and that difference really exists within a few shades of a hue.”
The SPUNGE Lumina “Cenote” retails for $160 USD in men’s sizes 4.5 through 14. Newsletter subscribers will receive early access on October 28 at 9:00 a.m. PT / 12:00 p.m. ET, followed by a public launch on October 29 at 9:00 a.m. PT / 12:00 p.m. ET exclusively via SPUNGE.
