New Balance and Aimé Leon Dore Announce the Reimagined New Balance 1906

New Balance and Aimé Leon Dore (ALD) are introducing their latest collaboration, bringing a fresh look to the iconic 1906 running shoe silhouette. The shoe extends Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance’s reimagination of nostalgic running shoes, drawing inspiration from the shiny and exaggerated overlays that were a hallmark of runners in the early 2000s. The 1906 follows the 860v2 collection and campaign launch in early April. The short film was directed by Walid Labri.

The 1906 features a super breathable mesh upper, N-ergy cushioning and ABZORB sole technology for enhanced support and comfort, and a rubber outsole. 

Launching globally on NewBalance.com starting May 4, 2023, the Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance 1906 will have suggested retail pricing of $170 USD.

Product details:

•         N-ergy cushioning & ABZORB®

•         Lateral heel crash pad 

•         Mesh upper with synthetic overlays
