Aimé Leon Dore and New Balance continue to build on one of the strongest partnerships in sneakers, with an early look at what’s coming for Spring/Summer 2026. Fresh off a surprise RC56 release, the latest teaser points to new versions of the New Balance 1300 and the New Balance 471—two silhouettes that highlight both heritage and versatility within the brand’s lineup.
The New Balance 1300 remains a standout, known for its premium Made in USA build and long-standing reputation among collectors. Aimé Leon Dore previously put its stamp on the model in 2021, and this upcoming version leans into a refined, preppy aesthetic. Expect textured suede details paired with clean color blocking, along with subtle co-branding that keeps things elevated without overdoing it.
On the other side, the New Balance 471 taps into a more retro running look. With its slimmer shape and vintage-inspired paneling, the model channels a classic ‘70s feel. The teased colorway mixes light tones with deeper green accents, staying true to Aimé Leon Dore’s signature balance of sporty and timeless design.
While official release details have yet to be confirmed, the preview signals that Aimé Leon Dore and New Balance aren’t slowing down anytime soon. As more information surfaces, these collaborations are expected to remain key players in the SS26 sneaker conversation.
