The Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance T500 ‘Red’ is taken from a three-piece footwear pack, centered around a retro tennis shoe originally released in 1982. This pair utilizes a chalk white leather upper, accented with contrasting hits of scarlet on the snakeskin-textured ‘N’ logo, synthetic leather collar lining, and back tab, featuring Aimé Leon Dore and New Balance branding across the left and right shoe. A co-branded woven tag adorns the synthetic leather tongue. The low-profile silhouette rides on an aged off-white rubber cupsole, fitted with an interior foam wedge for lightweight cushioning.


From the extravagant sole unit to the breathable mesh upper, an onslaught of neutrals dresses the entirety of the upcoming pair while bringing a bit more flair when compared to the model’s past understated efforts. As crisp white hues line the front half of the midsole, a decadent cream cures the mesh base and suede-treated overlays for a versatile arrangement. Elsewhere, vibrant hits of faded yellow enter the fold via the heel while silver metallic N logos shine across the mid-foot. Just below, a jet-black tread brings a clarifying close to the robust cushioning system and gleaming palette.
