Andrew Rizzo Updated February 19th, 2026: The Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance RC56 just dropped online for $165 each. Get them HERE.
Aimé Leon Dore just blasted out early access emails for its Spring/Summer 2026 collection, and per usual, there’s some footwear that’s caught our attention. Two fresh New Balance RC56 styles will be available soon, one in orange and another in white/silver.
ALD founder Teddy Santis is, of course, also the creative head of New Balance’s Made in USA line, and the RC56 is a product of that close-knit relationship. For ALD, the model represents uncharted territory as the brand’s first-ever co-designed New Balance silhouette. It’s aesthetically comparable to the New Balance 204L, riding the low-profile wave with a sleek upper and relatively minimal sole unit. This latest batch speaks for itself, with one style arriving in burnt orange with silver detailing and black outsoles. The other leans more “tech runner,” done up in white mesh with silver leather overlays.
Both Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance RC56 styles are out now exclusively at ALD for $165.
