The collaboration between Aimé Leon Dore and New Balance brings forth the stylish and nostalgic Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance 550 'Purple' sneakers. These retro-inspired basketball shoes boast a simple yet captivating two-tone color scheme. The upper is constructed with a clean white leather base, complemented by a microperforated midfoot overlay for added texture. Adding a pop of color to the design is the cracked leather violet 'N' logo displayed prominently on the side. One distinct feature of this collaboration is the mismatched branding on the heels of the left and right shoe, with the combination of ALD and NB logos. On the bottom, the sneakers are equipped with a traditional rubber cupsole that showcases vintage vibes, courtesy of the aged sidewalls. On the inside, an exposed EVA wedge is strategically placed on the medial side, providing both comfort and style to the sneakers.
