Aimé Leon Dore is no stranger to New Balance as the duo have been working together since 2019 and now the duo presents a pair of the retro New Balance 1000 shoes. The silhouette joins the joint roster comprised of the 860, the 990s, and the 550s.
The NB 1000 is set to join the Spring/Summer 2024 range by Aimé Leon Dore as another retro option. At first glance, it appears to have a white mesh foundation at the base of the upper to offer breathability. It is paneled to have a stronger structure and laced with a traditional lacing system over the forefoot. Brighter touches are seen in the form of orange accents for a tonal contrast.
