Aime Leon Dore x New Balance Running Pack Drops August 14

The Partnership Evolution
The Aime Leon Dore and New Balance alliance runs deeper than a seasonal collaboration. With founder Teddy Santis holding the creative lead at New Balance Made in USA, the streetwear imprint has secured a structural role in the brand's product development—a position that yields collections like this Running Pack, which previously saw limited availability through ALD's own channels before expanding to wider retail.
Design Details
The Running Pack comprises three distinct silhouettes, each calibrated to a different velocity within ALD's design language. The FuelCell Rebel v5 and FuelCell SC Elite serve the racing category, both executed in a gradient treatment that shifts from black on the toe and lower upper to a vivid top-end gradient—blue on the Rebel, green on the SC Elite. The approach feels restrained by collaborative standards; rather than overlay graphics, ALD allows the color shift to carry the visual weight.
The lifestyle counterpoint arrives in the Gator Run, dressed in cream suede mesh with black contrast detailing on the midsole and studded outsole. The material choice signals an intentional step away from performance-oriented construction, positioning the silhouette as a standalone lifestyle piece within the running ecosystem.
