The partnership between New Balance and Aimé Leon Dore is nothing short of a love match. After five years of stylish collaborations, the pair have again finished the year with another sneaker release. When these two brands work together the result will be trendy, exclusive, and practical. Although the pairing has only been around for half a decade, the brands have successfully released sneaker after sneaker that encapsulates both brands perfectly. New Balance and Aimé Leon Dore are returning to one of their very first partnerships for what might be their last collaboration of the year. Reviving the very first shoe of their collaboration, both brands have updated the silhouette to showcase just how far the East Coast-based brands have come.

Returning to the Made in the USA 997, Aimé Leon Dore and New Balance are remixing their original collaborative sneaker for a more colorful design. Using mixed materials, multi-colored silhouettes, suede overlays, and mesh underlays the sneaker boasts a more refined yet fun look than its predecessor. The ENCAP midsole and rubber outsole complete the design giving the sneaker a premium look from the inside out. Along with the multi-colored sneaker, the pair have released numerous clothing items that pair perfectly with the footwear. Donning colors like olive green, red, yellow, and blue, this sneaker is anything but subtle or minimalist. Available via Aimé Leon Dore’s web store, the sneaker retails for $220. While the collaboration between Aimé Leon Dore and New Balance doesn’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon, their newest sneaker drop is the perfect culmination of five years of style and iconic silhouettes.

While it feels as if New Balance’s luxury walking shoe, Allerdale, was released only a few days ago, the brand is already prepping for another colorway drop. Previously, the athletic company revealed their ‘Made in UK Allerdale’ sneaker, which mixed sophisticated and low-key details in one chic design. Already proven a hit globally, New Balance is taking advantage of the heightened popularity by unveiling the silhouette’s newest shade. While the past Brown/Black color combination was a classic mix, the latest color is a minimalist look that has the opportunity to turn into a timeless shoe. This sneaker is the ultimate casual sneaker for the brand’s Made in UK line that’ll elevate your everyday looks. 
New Balance Allerdale “White/White”

Donning a new crisp white hue, the upcoming New Balance ‘Allerdale’ design repeats its predecessor’s chic style. Created with tumbled leather uppers, the off-white midsole offers a small tonal contrast that adds dimension to the overall style. Color and material variation adds texture and style to the look, giving it the sense of an old-school heritage sneaker. D-ring lacing, embroidered branding, and a woven graphic label at the tongue complement the sneaker. A green Ortholite sole insert adds a pop of hidden color while adding comfort and cushion to the design. The epitome of a classic white sneaker, this Allerdale is versatile and functional, with a sophisticated design. With a new colorway already releasing weeks after the initial release, there's no doubt that new hues are expected for this model in the near future. Those looking for this new hue can purchase the Allerdale sneaker via New Balance’s website starting April 3, with the shoe retailing for $250.

Although New Balance is known for its signature chunky silhouette, a more minimal and slim model used to be a crowd favorite, the athletic brand’s barefoot-inspired silhouette is a sleek and subdued design that resembles the natural foot shape. Although many of the most recognized models from the brand are the more voluminous styles, recent trends have cleared the way for the return of slimmed-down shoes. Besides its minimal size, the shoe offers a rugged and durable characteristic that athletes will enjoy. Feeling closer to the ground, this shoe is a one-of-a-kind design that contrasts significantly with the ultra-chunky models the brand has released. Despite its small size, this slim silhouette still offers all of the features and technology you would expect in your athletic footwear, without losing the style that New Balance has come to gain.
