Aimé Leon Dore has unveiled its Summer 2024 collection, perfect for the Greek islands, featuring a notable collaboration with New Balance: two new colorways of the retro T500 tennis sneaker, which originally debuted in 1982. Building on their previous collaboration for ALD’s Fall 2023 line, the new releases maintain the off-white leather base and introduce fresh grey or navy accents. This subtle evolution showcases the duo’s ability to expand their collaborative aesthetic while maintaining a classic, timeless appeal.
True to Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance collaborations, the T500 sneakers are rich in intricate details. The midfoot N logos, heel tabs, and tongue tags, adorned in primary accent colors, feature luxurious leather with a snakeskin-like texture. The left shoe’s heel sports an Aimé Leon Dore text logo in New Balance’s font, replacing the standard branding. Additionally, the fabric tongue tag mirrors the snakeskin motif with its own printed graphic. Completing the design is a slight color variation between the upper and midsole, providing an “aged” look that enhances the sneaker’s retro vibe.
