Coinciding with today’s release of the Aimé Leon Dore New Balance 860v2, the two collaborative partners are continuing the momentum via the New Balance 990v4. Clad in blue suede, the pair is available for purchase now via the Aimé Leon Dore site.

Following a simple formula season after season, Teddy’s most recent collaborative efforts dresses the silhouette’s suede overlays and mesh underpinnings in contrasting tones to emphasize the layered construction. It lends an elegant cohesiveness that combined with the gambit of grayscale shades elsewhere, remains a pretty successful formula.

The combination of a colored upper with vintage accents underfoot have made his collaborations increasingly parallel to the New Balance Made In USA releases, and with Teddy Santis obviously designing both., it’s becoming a bit more of a challenge to truly distinguish those verticals. The result? Recent products under those umbrellas have become surprisingly accessible, with the Aimé Leon Dore New Balance 990v6 still available in a full size run.

Regardless of what it portends for the future of their principals, the Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance 990v4 is available now. Head to the aimeleondore.com for your pair, retailing at $210 and spanning M4 – M13 sizes.

Elsewhere for NB, the New Balance T500 made its long-awaited return.
