Teddy Santis, founder of Aime Leon Dore and the creative director of the New Balance Made in USA line, has consistently delivered designs that resonate with sneakerheads. His knack for blending premium craftsmanship with nuanced colorways has injected fresh vitality into New Balance's offerings. As Aime Leon Dore continues its fruitful partnership with New Balance, the spotlight shifts to their Spring/Summer 2024 Collection, which includes a 990v6 collaboration.
Mirroring the aesthetic of the inline Cream colorway released in July 2023, this iteration of the 990v6 elevates the silhouette with its luxurious pigskin suede adorned with perforated nubuck overlays and a breathable knit mesh base. The sneaker is bathed in warm tan hues across the pigskin suede, contrasted with creamy shades on the nubuck and mesh, creating a harmonious color scheme that's both sophisticated and versatile. The iconic "N" logo is highlighted with cream leather that outlines the silver sections, adding a touch of refinement.
The heel boasts the Made in USA inscription, affirming the sneaker's commitment to quality and craftsmanship. The interior is just as meticulously designed, with the insole featuring New Balance branding and the inscription "exclusively for Aime Leon Dore," underscoring the collaboration's exclusivity. Completing the design is a white and cream midsole equipped with New Balance's FuelCell cushioning technology, offering unmatched comfort paired with a durable black rubber outsole.
The Aime Leon Dore x New Balance 990v6 Made in USA Incense will release as part of the brand’s Spring/Summer 2024 collection, exclusively via Aime Leon Dore. The collection is launching on February 23, 2024, but no confirmation has been given as to whether we will see this 990v6 tomorrow or at a later date. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $220. For the latest information on this release, as well as other sneaker news and raffles, make sure to download the Sole Retriever mobile app.
