Aimé Leon Dore continues its partnership with New Balance through a new release of the 860v2 sneaker. The brand launched three colorways: Pink, White Multi, and Black Multi, available now via pre-order through its official site.
SNEAKERS
Each pair features a layered upper built on breathable mesh and covered with glossy synthetic overlays. The choice of materials supports a balance between texture and function, with each colorway offering a different tone. The Pink version pairs soft color with a silver finish, while the White Multi and Black Multi options introduce more contrast through varied accents.
The construction remains faithful to the 860v2’s technical roots. N-ergy cushioning under the heel works with ABZORB foam to provide comfort during wear. These features, long associated with New Balance’s performance models, remain intact in this lifestyle-oriented release.
Brand details appear throughout each pair. Aimé Leon Dore prints its wordmark on the tongue and sockliner, adding subtle identification. The floral crest logo also appears at the heel, marking the collaboration clearly without overwhelming the design. These additions connect the shoe to the rest of the ALD product line while maintaining the 860v2’s original structure.
The release arrives during the rollout of Aimé Leon Dore’s Spring Summer 2025 collection. The brand previously included on-foot previews of the sneakers in its seasonal lookbook, giving early attention to the collaboration before confirming the release. Pre-orders for all three colorways opened on July 16, with a retail price set at $150 USD. Those who place an order now can expect delivery between February and March of next year.
Aimé Leon Dore’s work with New Balance continues to focus on archival models and subtle design shifts. With the 860v2, ALD applies small but effective changes to a silhouette built for performance, bringing it into a modern lifestyle context. This latest release offers variety through color and clarity through form, giving the 860v2 new relevance without straying far from its original identity.
All three colorways are now listed for pre-order exclusively at Aimé Leon Dore, with sizing options and further details available on the brand’s webstore.
