Aimé Leon Dore and The North Face Are Back — Year Two Just Went Live on ALD's Site

Aimé Leon Dore put a new page on its own site this morning. "Aimé Leon Dore / The North Face 2026," dated September 14, is a single co-branded title card — The North Face's half-dome logo and ALD's script lockup set over a snow-covered ridgeline — and nothing else. No lineup, no prices, no release date. Year two of the partnership is officially on the board.

Nothing is live yet. ALD's own store currently lists 659 products and not one of them is a North Face piece. The /collections/ald-the-north-face page that carried last year's release now returns a 404. And The North Face's US site returns zero products for "Aimé Leon Dore." Neither brand has put a single SKU up.

The timing tracks with how this played out before. ALD's debut North Face collection went up on the same blog on September 17, 2025 — led by a Nuptse reissued in Casentino wool alongside reworked Denali, Borealis and Verto staples, priced across a roughly $60 to $725 range according to trade coverage at the time. A mid-September teaser on ALD's site has meant a mid-September release once already.

So treat "this week" as the expectation, not the date. Until ALD publishes a collection page or The North Face lists the product, there is no confirmed launch and no confirmed pricing. We'll update the moment either brand posts one.
