Although New Balance and Aimé Leon Dore have collaborated numerous times throughout the year, their latest drop takes their partnership to another level. Teasing their collaboration earlier this year, Aimé Leon Dore and New Balance showcased their newest pair of sneakers, which were equally as striking as the Porsche 993 Turbo vehicle in which they were photographed. However, as with their previous New Balance drop, Aimé Leon Dore takes a unique approach with this new release. Despite the unexpected drop, Aimé Leon Dore and New Balance’s sneakers are still as charming and luxurious as always.

Meet the New Balance 993 sneakers.

Outfitted with green suede overlays and mesh underlays, the New Balance 993 sneakers by Aimé Leon Dore are anything but ordinary. Complete with a perforated leather lining, ABZORB midsole, and a rubber outsole, this sneaker has all of the silhouette and features of a New Balance shoe, except with more style. Finishing touches like an Aimé Leon Dore branded heel and custom-branded sockliner round out the design for the ultimate collaborative look.

While the two brands first previewed the new design earlier in the year, this exciting new drop won’t see its release until later in 2025. Although Aimé Leon Dore began receiving reservations and orders for sneakers, the design isn’t expected to ship out until September 2025. While it might seem like a long wait, this ensures that the most dedicated of fans can get their hands on some of the best collaborative shoes. Priced at $220, there’s no doubt that these sneakers will entice many who have become loyal fans of the Aimé Leon Dore and New Balance partnership.

With a new season coming up, it’s time for every style enthusiast's favorite era: Fashion Week. Held during the final week of January through the beginning of February, Paris Fashion Week Men’s typically helps kick things off with one-of-a-kind shows and designs that will ultimately influence future trends. For the Paris Fashion Week Men’s FW25 season, many designers showcased some of their boldest and loudest pieces yet, marking the continuation of a maximalist trend in the industry. While the clothing pieces made for some eccentric looks, the footwear managed to captivate the eyes of many. Throughout the week, designers displayed some of their boldest and out-of-the-box footwear, making for some interesting future purchases. With many collaborations and housemade shoe options, this year’s Paris Fashion Week Men’s was a definite win for maximalists everywhere.
Comme des Garçons Homme Plus

As we’ve seen through their previous footwear releases, Comme des Garçons isn’t afraid of creating a bold shoe. However, for Paris Fashion Week, the fashion brand went out-of-the-(shoe)box for a boot that, at first glance, seems normal but is truly a surrealist work of art. Displaying an army boot with a lifted 90-degree angle toe box, this boot is bold enough to deserve a second look. While crafted for the runway, this boot can perfectly find its match in everyday life, especially for those not afraid of a small quirk.
