Aimé Leon Dore is extending its long-running New Balance partnership into performance running, a category the collaboration has largely avoided in favor of heritage silhouettes. The first delivery is a two-shoe pack built on New Balance's FuelCell platform, splitting the difference between racing and daily training.
The FuelCell SC Elite v5 handles the racing side. It arrives in Nordic Green, blending several green tones across the upper above a black midsole, with Vibrant Orange accents providing contrast. Aimé Leon Dore's floral logo appears throughout the shoe. As New Balance's top-tier racing model, the SC Elite v5 carries a carbon plate underfoot. It is listed under style code MRCEL3HX at $270.
The FuelCell Rebel v5 takes the everyday role. Its upper comes in Atlantic Blue with Alkaline Green accents, and it carries the same collaborative branding in a lighter, more versatile build than the race-focused SC Elite. That pair runs style code MFCXB1ND at $150.
The pack also marks the first time the partnership has extended into running apparel alongside footwear, positioning it as a category launch rather than a one-off colorway exercise.
The Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance Running Pack releases August 14, 2026, through NewBalance.com and Aimé Leon Dore.
