Aime Leon Dore x New Balance 860v2 “Red” On Sale

Description

Underlaying the entirety of the upper is a thick honeycomb mesh, making these look like they were hand-knitted by the most caring of grandmothers. The NB 1906R’s synthetic leather panelling returns in a mix of dark green and silver, with lime accents dotted throughout that echo the previously mentioned size? edition. The heel cage and ABZORB energy units are swathed in a dark green, contrasting the lighter palette of the upper, while balancing the black outsole underfoot. Similar to the ALD x New Balance 860v2 capsule, a wavy set of laces come threaded onto this 1906R, Santis’ way of adding a contemporary spin to what appears to be a sporty classic. Branding on the pair has also been updated, with the N-LOCK logo using a tightly woven knit instead of the usual canvas, playing into the pair’s handcrafted theme. A final subtle touch comes via a flower emblem on the tongue, giving us an insight into the inspiration behind the design.
