Long-time collaborators Aimé Leon Dore and New Balance are no strangers to creating the sneaker of the season. Since their first release in 2019, the duo has consistently produced new and exciting designs. For the Spring/Summer 2025 season, the brands are again joining forces for new sneakers with two contrasting looks. While only part of the collaborations have been released, there’s no doubt that more is expected soon. True to the pair’s style, each of the sneakers combines New Balance’s innovative footwear technology with Aime Leon Dore’s premium style touch.

In their recently released Spring/Summer drop, Aime Leon Dore and New Balance unveiled their “Pristine Pack.” Available now via Aime Leon Dore, this release reimagines the New Balance 475 and T500 silhouettes. Donning neutral colorways, these archival designs arrive in an all-white mesh and leather upper with minimal detailing and subtle co-branding tags. The New Balance 475 contrasts with a black cracked leather touch on the heel and outsole. The New Balance T500 Tennis Oxfords offer a much more casual look that mimics the appearance of a lifestyle trainer. The New Balance 475 currently retails for $150 while the T500 retails for $130.

Later in the season, the duo also plans to release a colorful design that vastly differs from their “Pristine Pack.” Taking on the brand new RC56, the pair has combined green, yellow, and silver tones into one varied design. Contrasting these vivid hues are an off-white midsole and black details. While much hasn’t been released about the newest RC56, it will feature a mesh base with synthetic overlays. Expected to arrive in time for the summer, this bold design is the perfect addition for those looking to contrast the minimalist look.

In New Balance’s long history, the brand has become home to many iconic silhouettes, colors, and collaborative moments that are worthy of celebration. One of the most recent celebratory moments comes from music brand Roland, where the brand honors 45 years of its TR-808 Rhythm Composer and this year’s “808 Day.” For this momentous occasion, New Balance has partnered with Brazilian pro skater Tiago Lemos to relaunch the special edition Tiago Lemos 808 Lite x Roland sneaker. A sell-out design last year, the 808 Lite x Roland sneaker is a special model for the brand, as it celebrates the impact the 808 music machine has had on music and culture. In a combination that fuses music, skateboarding, and style, it’s no wonder that New Balance is at the forefront of the celebration.

Now the duo is partnering up again for a second installment of the “Willful Bias” campaign that sees new versions of the 990v4 and 998 silhouettes. With a new look for the “Willful Bias for Education” campaign, the pair has also released a new short film that centers around the inspiration of the end of college semesters. Donning a new fresh colorway, the new sneakers manage to balance classic retro sneaker design with a modern take.
