Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance 1000 Sneakers

New Balance is celebrating the 25th anniversary of the New Balance 1000 sneaker this year by bringing it back through in-line launches and collaborating with prominent designers. One of the collaborators is Joe Freshgoods, who released a two-part collaboration "When Things Were Pure" pack last month. The pack featured colorways of Pink Mink and Black Ice, with special co-branding and detailing throughout.

In addition to the collaboration with Joe Freshgoods, New Balance has also announced a forthcoming project with Aimé Leon Dore. The Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance 1000 features a versatile white and gray color arrangement with ALD branding on the tongue, sockliner, and lateral forefoot of the upper. The "N" logos on each side of the shoe are in a soft gray hue, along with various overlays.

At the time of writing, the release date for the Aimé Leon Dore-designed version of the New Balance 1000 has not been disclosed by Teddy Santis or New Balance. However, it is expected to release later this year through New Balance, Aimé Leon Dore, and select retailers, with a price point around $170 USD.
