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. 

It’s an Aime Leon Dore x New Balance season

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.

The best casual watches for men (to upgrade your everyday style)
Work wear blues watch close up

Watches are more than a tool. They are more than an accessory. They are the kind of tool and accessory that make a statement. They are an expression. They are a statement. A man can look incredible: the right top, the right bottom, great shoes, great hat. The wrong watch can ruin a look, or even the whole essence. Here is the rub: the wrong watch can be subjective. For instance, most people will tell you that a Timex broken watch isn’t the right watch for a pinstripe power suit. However, it was my grandfather’s watch, and I wear it anytime I need him and his guidance. The point? That is never the wrong watch. Once you find a casual watch that works for you, it will be your everyday wear and will never be the wrong watch.

That is what I collected here: The best of the casual watches you can pick up today that will become your everyday wear.

Audemars Piguet launches pre-owned program to rival the titan of the second-hand watch market
Audemars Piguet

Rolex has dominated the watch world for nearly a century. The industry is a deep and complicated web of luxury houses and independent hopefuls. While brands like Patek Phillipe and Cartier vie for their place on the podium, Rolex holds a death grip on the chronophile’s aspirational collection checklist. But Audemars Piguet has decided to challenge them somewhere most other brands are deciding to ignore: the pre-owned market. Now, while something like the Royal Oak is an icon among enthusiasts, AP launching their own certified pre-owned marketplace to chase the reported $1 billion Rolex pie will certainly upset the market.

Like I said, it is a deep and complicated web, so I sat down with a horological expert and founder of WatchGuys, (317K on Instagram), Robertino Altieri, to have him walk me through what this means for watches and their passionate collectors.
