New Balance and Aimé Leon Dore Announce the Reimagined New Balance 1906

BOSTON, MA, April 26, 2023 – New Balance and Aimé Leon Dore (ALD) are introducing their latest collaboration, bringing a fresh look to the iconic 1906 running shoe silhouette.

The 1906 features a super breathable mesh upper, N-ergy cushioning and ABZORB sole technology for enhanced support and comfort, and a rubber outsole. 

Launching globally on NewBalance.com starting May 4, 2023, the Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance 1906 will have suggested retail pricing of $170 USD.
