There’s an ALD NB 860 In the Works
In recent years, no collaboration has consistently hit quite as hard as Aimé Leon Dore and New Balance, so much so their love affair was made official in 2021 when the former’s founder, Teddy Santis, was named as the latter’s Made in USA creative director.
Despite still designing for both, Santis continues to deliver standalone seasonal collections for each label, although his latest IG tease looks to be pointing towards a collaborative return, more specifically the 860 sneaker.

For me, the 860 is a grossly underrated silhouette. Following a sudden surge in popularity (in the UK at least) last year and a collaboration with Dime, the hype surrounding the sneaker has plateaued.
However, if past ALD collabs are anything to go by (take the 550, for example), things are about to get wild for the 860. The ALD effect, if you will.

Despite only having one image to go off thus far, there looks to be three colorways of the running-inspired sneaker landing, although in typical NB fashion, there’ll likely be a tonne more iterations in the works.

A link-up on the 860 makes a welcome change from a 550 and 990-heavy partnership of late, although one that will undoubtedly fly off the shelves in no time when they eventually release. Keep ‘em peeled.
