AIMÉ LEON DORE and NEW BALANCE COLLAB

Three years on from their debut collaboration, ALD, and New Balance return this season under the latter’s Made in UK arm to deliver two autumnal takes on the ever-present 991 sneakers. Twenty years on and the shoes never looked better. This drop – which will retail at $275 through an ALD raffle – follows the recent revealing of another collaboration in the “Sea Salt” Made in USA 990v2 (which was then removed) and rumors of a second three-piece 650R link-up. Santis’ role as creative director of New Balance’s Made in USA program surely will result in at least a couple more 550 releases in the near future.
