The never-ending stream of Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance collaborations has provided us with two clean-cut options for springtime. The New Balance 475 and New Balance T500 are here presented in no-frills leather styles featuring unique branding; available now via the Aimé Leon Dore website.

Starting first with T500 tennis trainer, a sneaker ALD helped re-introduce through 2023 and 2024 capsules, the design opts for unlined mesh underlays and thick leather overlays. The tongue is modified with perforations and exposed foam, and TPU eyelets add a bit of premium vibe. Aimé Leon Dore branding appears on the tongue tag and insoles, and moreover, the heel features all-caps “AIMÉ” text in a unique twist. The New Balance 475 features the same core design formula, standing out with white “AIMÉ” text over cracked black leather.

The ALD x New Balance T500 and 475 are both available now via aimeleondore.com, retailing for $130 and $150, respectively. See official images below if you’re moved to cop.
