The New Balance 860v2 Aime Leon Dore Blue sneaker is a collaborative effort between New Balance and Aim�� Leon Dore. New Balance hired Teddy Santis, founder of Aim�� Leon Dore, to be the creative director for their MADE in USA line that launched in 2021.


The shoe nods to each company in its design. It has New Balance���s iconic "N" logo set against the backdrop of a cream mesh upper with silver and tan overlays. It also has "Aim�� Leon Dore" inscribed on the sneaker���s tongue, as well as Aim�� Leon Dore���s floral motif on the heel.


There is a lot to like about this New Balance 860v2 Aime Leon Dore Blue collaboration. Our experts believe the busyness of its design works in its favor. It injects new life into a New Balance shoe that sometimes gets overlooked and introduced many New Balance fans to Aim�� Leon Dore for the first time.
