Aimé Leon Dore New Balance 991 Fall/Winter 2025
Teddy Santis is giving the original New Balance 991 some shine again. The pair shows up in the Aimé Leon Dore Fall/Winter 2025 lookbook, a switch from the newer 991v2 that’s been in the spotlight since last year. Choosing the first model feels intentional—almost like a call back to where things started.
The shoe mixes off-white mesh with red underlays and rich brown suede. The palette instantly grabs attention. Some will even see shades of the old SB Dunk “Bison,” though here it carries ALD’s cleaner finish. Shown with a western-style coat from the collection, it fits right into Santis’ layered look.
It’s worth noting the timing. Since the 991v2 came out in 2023, the original version hasn’t had much presence. Bringing it back now, heel-to-toe drop and all, shows a clear focus on heritage. That detail alone will matter to collectors.
No firm release info yet. But with the ALD x New Balance 991 already pictured in the lookbook, a launch is clearly on the way. And when it does happen, don’t count on pairs sitting around.
