Aimé Leon Dore is back with a new batch of what has become a staple sneaker collaboration for the Queens, New York-based fashion brand.
Once again focusing on the New Balance 860v2 silhouette, Aimé Leon Dore has made three new styles available for preorder in white multi, black multi, and pink looks.
The white multi is a predominantly white-and-silver design that’s accented with orange and black, while the black multi uses a black base with accent colors of green, orange and yellow. The pink is the most straightforward — and loudest — of the bunch with a mostly magenta upper accented with silver.

All in all, there’s a fair amount of variety amongst the three, offering Aimé Leon Dore and New Balance devotees some distinctly different options for 2026.
While preorders for the latest Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance 860v2 styles are open now, buyers will need to exercise some patience. The trio isn’t set to begin shipping until between February and March, which could mean a wait of up to eight months before orders finally arrive. The silver lining is that ordering the shoes now will guarantee they’re reserved come release date and fans won’t need to compete with bots for a chance to purchase.
New Balance’s 860v2 was first released in 2012 as a performance road running shoe. It returned as a lifestyle option in 2019, perhaps reissued ahead of its time as the 2000s-era mesh runner aesthetic would only further take off in the years to follow. Notably, its N-ergy-cushioned midsole paired with Abzorb SBS pods was the same setup utilized for the brand’s popular 2002R and 1906R (and its 1906L sneaker loafer counterpart) retro models.
Each style in this Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance 860v2 collection is priced at $150 each and can be preorders now from aimeleondore.com.
