New Balance is in the midst of a “moment,” and there’s no doubt that one of the largest contributing factors to the company’s current buzz is its work with fashion and lifestyle brand Aimé Leon Dore. ALD’s simple and sporty, yet chic aesthetic has made for some of the best New Balance collaborations in recent memory, including the 550s, 827s, 990s and 1300s. Now, on the heels of that success, New Balance is taking its relationship with ALD founder Teddy Santis to a new level.
