The blueprint for sneaker brands to reintroduce an archival model is no secret. In fact, it’s a fairly basic recipe; call in a notable collaborator to heighten the awareness of the silhouette’s reintroduction, then pepper the market with some flow-on general releases. It worked for the More Uptempo back in 2017 with Supreme, Virgil Abloh and countless Nike sneakers, and most recently, thisisneverthat and the New Balance 1906. Typically, these are followed by a slew of GR drops including an upcoming “Protection Pack,” and this new aged-look in-line option. in white and grey.
Really hamming up the Aime Leon Dore aesthetic, the pair presents in white and neutral grey hues, the former served up on the mesh and leather overlays, with accents and underlayers of grey giving the pair a heritage feel. Add to that some aged-look midsoles and classic black traction underfoot, and you’ve got yourself a throwback colorway for the ages.
