Matt Varga Updated July 16th, 2025: Pre-orders for three new editions of the Aime Leon Dore x New Balance 860v2 are now live — follow THIS LINK to place yours. The “White/Multi,” “Black/Multi,” and “Pink” variations all share a $150 retail price and are expected to ship out sometime between February and March 2026.
Original article published June 16th, 2025: Of all their collaborators, New Balance has afforded unbelievable access and prestige to Aime Leon Dore, presenting the Teddy Santis label with opportunities to launch silhouettes and spearhead bring-backs of still others. Given their importance in bringing the Boston brand back into the conversation, it’s a fair trade all things considered. However, if ALD can have their druthers with nearly anything the NB catalog has to behold, they’ve trended towards the 860v2 in recent years, again revisiting the model for a Fall 2025 duo said to be coming soon.
Revealed via a lookbook-style showcase of the Aime Leon Dore Spring Summer 2025 collection, you’ll spot two new make-ups on the feet of Idryis Ali- Chow, model talent and the son of Public School co-founder Dao-Yi Chow. Though ALD has fully embraced loud, throwback sportstyle coloring on the 860v2 already, still the two-pack they’ve queued up registers as a step outside of their usual lane. The first makes heavy use of hot pink, pasted thoroughly on the upper and rear half of the midsole, broken up by off-white tones in the front half underfoot and with requisite metallic silver overlays. On the exact other side of the spectrum, the other half of this collection pairs a dim black/brown upper with viridescent neon and forest green in its sole unit.
Release info for the Aime Leon Dore New Balance 860v2 hasn’t come about just yet, but expect updates in the near future.
