Updated February 23rd, 2024: The Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance 990v6 is available now HERE.
Teddy Santis and his Aimé Leon Dore banner are deeply embedded in the world of New Balance, with Santis taking reign of the brand’s inline drops as creative director while continuing to produce special ALD-stamped iterations. Just as New Balance continues to roll out its new Made in USA seasonal collection, we’re learning from @mpastitsio of an upcoming ALD x New Balance 990v6 complete with a familiar, elevated touch.
Not to be confused with the cream-colored 990v6 seen in MiUSA Season 5, this upcoming pair adopts a slightly different look. Officially marked with a “Tan/Incense” palette, the shoe calls in a cream mesh base, white leather overlays, and tan suede mudguard paneling to communicate ALD’s well-established aesthetic.
News of this delivery coincides with the arrival of Aimé Leon Dore’s Spring/Summer 2024 apparel line, a tradition that typically offers a glimpse at one or more new footwear offerings. While no release date for the upcoming ALD 990v6 has been set, the rest of the collection is scheduled to hit aimeleondore.com and the brand’s storefronts on February 23rd.
