Update October 25, 2022: The next batch of Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance 550s is here! You can cop these two suede-adorned colourways via ALD’s webstore through a raffle that opens on October 31.

Teddy Santis-led brand Aimé Leon Dore is one of the hottest collaborators in the sneakersphere, leveraging their relationship with New Balance to release a steady influx of heat. The NB550 has become the brand’s staple silhouette, as Santis had a hand in the recreation of the 1980s hardwood sneaker. To date, the duo have released multiple colourways, and they’ve just announced there’s more to come in 2022!

Moving away from the classic all-leather two-tone look, their latest opts for two interesting builds, using a broad range of shaggy and brushed suede. Grey and white tones have been used throughout, making for a tasteful vibe alongside the co-branded tongue logo. The midsole has been yellowed and exudes an aged feel, keeping with their faux-vintage style.

The latest Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance 550 is coming soon. An exact release date hasn’t been scheduled, but we suspect both colours will arrive in the coming weeks.
