Jared Ebanks Last winter, Teddy Santis revived the climate-controlled New Balance Rainier to a welcome reception of outdoor enthusiasts looking for a bit more streetwear-ready aesthetics. Nearly a full year later and Sanits’ Aimé Leon Dore imprint have returned with three new styles atop the low-top trim.
Categorized in a much more playful palette in comparison to its more rugged treatments in late 2022, the National Park-inspired silhouette broadens the Aimé Leon Dore x NB Pantone wheel that’s been thoroughly combed through by Santis and co. Assuming the same basic embellishments, a weather-ready jet-black tint adheres to the sole unit and tongues of each model. Elsewhere, the Cordura tooled clad-suede upper is doused in either mustard yellow, chestnut or faint grey with respective navy, purple, and bright orange laces that provide a contrasting two-toned treatment above.
The draw for the Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance Rainier Low is currently open for a retail price of $160. Enter now before the raffle entry closes on December 13th. In the meantime, each pair can be seen ahead in detailed imagery.
In other news, the raffle for the JFG x New Balance 990v4 “1998” pack is currently open.
