Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance 650R "Masaryk Community Gym - Classic Pine" BB650RAA

Aimé Leon Dore and New Balance collaborated in 2021 to bring back the classic 650 silhouette from New Balance’s archives, drawing inspiration from the Mulberry Classic hoops tournament held on E Houston St. The result is a sneaker that seamlessly combines timeless athletic design with a contemporary aesthetic.

At its core, the Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance 650R features a white leather upper that serves as a canvas for creative color interplay. Accents of black, baby blue, and green enhance the sneaker’s appeal, adding a playful yet sophisticated touch. The gum rubber outsole complements the color palette while providing excellent traction and durability.

A standout design element is the co-branded woven tongue label, where the New Balance logo is juxtaposed against Aimé Leon Dore’s signature apple basketball mark, creating a visually striking emblem that captures the essence of the collaboration.

The strategic use of open mesh at the ankle collar, tongue, and ‘N’ branding not only adds texture but also enhances breathability, making the sneakers suitable for both style and performance. This collaboration offers not only a stylish but also a comfortable and customizable fit, with a tumbled leather upper featuring perforated details and multiple lace options for personalization.

To enhance comfort during extended wear, the sneakers feature an EVA foam midsole, providing cushioning and support. The Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance 650R is a versatile and functional sneaker that combines vintage charm with modern sensibilities, making it the perfect choice for various occasions and style statements.
