Part of an exclusive mountaineering-inspired collection, the Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance Rainier ‘Charcoal’ presents Teddy Santis' reinterpretation of the hiking boot famously worn by Lou Whittaker during his victorious ascent of Mount Everest in 1982. The upper is secured by a reliable D-ring lacing system, fashioned with a durable navy Cordura base complemented by stylish grey suede overlays and a waterproof Gore-Tex lining. Enhancing its distinctive design, the tongue is adorned with a dual-branded leather tag, while the saddle proudly displays the iconic Flying NB logo. Ensuring stability and comfort, the lace-up is supported by a sleek black EVA midsole and a high-traction Vibram outsole.
