Several months ago, we announced the arrival of three superb pairs of Aime Leon Dore x New Balance 860v2! With their vintage style and design straight from the archives, the three colorways seem to have pleased the communities of both brands during their exclusive drop on Aimeleondore on April 6, 2023.

The New York-based label led by Teddy Santis, who also serves as creative director of New Balance's Made in USA division, is collaborating once again with the Boston-based brand, but this time on a model that is currently very popular. Since the release of the New Balance 1906R - Protection Pack "Black", "Turtledove", "Reflection" and "Harbor Grey", sneaker enthusiasts have developed a strong interest in this silhouette, which now comes in a variety of original colorways. It was therefore natural for Teddy Santis to capitalize on this momentum by unveiling his version of the 1906R, applying his minimalist vision and the signature elements of Aime Leon Dore.

Based on the various visuals, this streetwear-chic sneaker features remarkable craftsmanship and has already generated significant reactions on social media. It is set to be a standout piece for the summer and will undoubtedly rank among the most sought-after pairs of 2023. It will likely be available in very limited quantities, further fueling anticipation.
The cream mesh base sets the overall tone of the pair, complemented by silver accents and various shades of green across the upper. The traditional elements that define the New Balance 1906R are all present, as evidenced by the dark green TPU reinforcement at the heel and the copper N-Lock system on the quarter panel. This subtly co-branded pair, featuring dual branding on the insoles and tongue, is completed by an N-Ergy midsole and ABZORB SBS heel cushioning for optimal comfort and daily wearability. To add a final touch of elegance reflecting the New York label's inspirations, the typically flat laces feature a waffled texture, offering a refined finish.
The men's and women's shoe will of course come with a special matching box adorned with both brands' logos.
The Aime Leon Dore x New Balance 1906R "Green" drops tomorrow, May 4, 2023, at a retail price of 180EUR. It will be available at 10am on New Balance, so get ready, first come first served!
