Streetwear imprint Aimé Leon Dore continues to work in collaboration with New Balance to broaden its Leon Dore collection. The latest to drop is a high-cut iteration of the 550 sneaker model, showcased with a plush tonal suede touch to the shoe.
The sneaker also boasts some touches of leather as well and is complete with embossed logo details as it all sits on top of yellowed midsoles at the base foundation. It is seen in a cool tonal palette that boasts branding details all throughout the upper. It can be seen on the tongue, nodding to both collaborative efforts, the N on the lateral side of the shoe, and "new balance" by the collars.
