Where to Buy the AURALEE x New Balance 204L Collection

After surfacing during Paris Fashion Week last year, the AURALEE x New Balance 204L is finally ready for release. The Tokyo label’s latest New Balance project will arrive on May 29 via NewBalance.com, with both pairs priced at $130 each.

The collaboration comes as New Balance continues to push the 204L into a more visible position within its lifestyle lineup. Low-profile, retro-leaning, and closely aligned with the brand’s current run of slim, archival-inspired models, the silhouette feels like a natural fit for AURALEE’s restrained design approach.

Rather than forcing heavy branding or oversized storytelling, the AURALEE x New Balance 204L focuses on material, proportion, and palette. The first pair leans into darker tones, pairing deep brown and black across suede, mesh, and synthetic overlays. The second takes a softer route, mixing cream, beige, grey, and pale green accents for a more neutral, vintage-washed look.

Both pairs carry a purposely worn-in feel, with muted midsoles, layered paneling, and slightly aged finishes helping the design feel lived-in from the start. The 204L’s narrow shape and extended side overlays give the collaboration a sleek, early-2000s edge, while the suede overlays and mesh base keep it firmly rooted in New Balance’s running heritage.

AURALEE has long excelled at taking simple wardrobe pieces and elevating them through fabric, texture, and tone. That same philosophy carries over here, with both pairs feeling understated but considered — the kind of collaboration that does not need loud colors or heavy logos to make its point.

The AURALEE x New Balance 204L releases May 29 via NewBalance.com for $130 each.
