Another Round of Aimé Leon Dore-Exclusive New Balance 860v2s are Available for Pre-Order

Now firmly positioned as a tradition within Aimé Leon Dore’s seasonal calendar, the brand has opened up pre-orders for yet another striking trio of New Balance 860v2s.

For the past three years, Aimé Leon Dore has rounded out its Spring Summer collections by making three exclusive colourways of New Balance’s 860v2 available for pre-order, giving anyone who wants a pair the opportunity to secure one, as opposed to the hit-and-miss drop systems most brands stand behind.

Apart from ALD’s first 860v2 project released during the early half of its SS23 campaign focused on the “quiet luxury” applications of causal sportswear, every time the NYC brand has worked its magic on the silhouette since, we’ve been treated to sunset-hued iterations that seamlessly merge into ALD’s widely referential aesthetic, especially the corner dedicated to keeping the golden age of y2k runnerdom alive.

The latest effort brings black, white, and full fuchsia palettes to the table, with the former two featuring orange and bright yellow panels, amongst subtle hints of green and brown on their respective midsoles.

Aimé Leon Dore’s Queens Crest logo is applied to the heel, while its moniker replaces the 860v2’s usual tongue and insole branding.

The latest Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance 860v2 capsule is available for pre-order for a limited time via the Aimé Leon Dore website.

Each pair is priced at $155 USD and is expected to ship between February & March 2026.
