The New Balance 860v2 Aime Leon Dore Red is part of a three-piece collaboration between New Balance and Aime Leon Dore, a New York-based lifestyle brand known for its preppy take on athletic wear. Unlike the other performance sneakers in the collection, the "Aime Leon Dore Red" features a combination of dark and fiery colors, including black, deep red, Metallic Gold, and a color called Sea Salt that looks like opalescent cream. All the tones are inspired by early 2000s colorways. The upper is made of a loose-weave mesh with glistening synthetic overlays. These overlays give the shoe a technical design, which further cements the sneaker’s early 2000s aesthetic. The midsole houses a combination of ABZORB technology and N-ergy cushioning, which protect against impact while increasing energy return. Our StockX experts appreciate the inclusion of Aime Leon Dore branding on the tongue. The New Balance 860v2 Aime Leon Dore Red was released on April 4th, 2023, and retailed at $150.
