The Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance Rainier ‘Tan’ pays homage to the classic hiking boot that was originally worn by Lou Whittaker during his remarkable ascent of the North Face of Mount Everest in 1982. With its secure D-ring lacing, the upper of this boot features a combination of burgundy Cordura and tan nubuck overlays, as well as a waterproof Gore-Tex lining. Various branding elements can be found throughout the design, including a debossed Flying NB logo on the saddle, a woven ALD label on the insole, and a nubuck NB/ALD tag on the tongue. Furthermore, this boot boasts a full-length EVA midsole in a sleek black finish, providing stability and support, while the matching Vibram outsole ensures superior traction and durability.
