Aimé Leon Dore teams up with New Balance once again to deliver a nautical-inspired 991 collection, expanding beyond shoes to a purpose-built apparel capsule. The collaboration presents two 991 colorways, Celery and Chocolate, both enriched with premium suede overlays and carefully chosen materials to evoke a maritime, utilitarian vibe. The Celery pair features a grey mesh base with red leather underlays and olive-green and brown suede accents, while Chocolate boasts a white leather base, red underlays, dark brown suede overlays, and sharp black midsole highlights.
The accompanying apparel emphasizes practical, workwear-inspired design, using durable fabrics across items like nylon Sailing Jackets and Pants, plus fleece Half Zip Pullovers. The color story centers on Aura Orange and Jet Black, complemented by slub-knit Rugby shirts and open-stitch Signal Crewneck sweaters that carry nautical branding.
A campaign film accompanies the drop, tracing a voyage along the Oslo Fjord between Norway and Sweden. The visuals underscore the collection’s capability to endure challenging winter conditions on the water, tying the garments to real-world performance.
The Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance 991 capsule is available now at Aimé Leon Dore’s flagship stores and online shop. A closer look at the collection is available above.
