Aimé Leon Dore’s 860v2 is the foundation of New Balance’s best sneakers in 2023

It’s about time the 860 got the ALD treatment.

Teddy Santis and Aimé Leon Dore have done an incredible job with pretty much every New Balance sneaker they’ve released.

From the handful of 550s they’ve dropped to the 827s to the 650s and so many more, the sneakers have just been top quality and they’ve given you a look at some of the lesser-known New Balance silhouettes.

But the 860v2 the brand just collaborated on is a sneaker most folks know pretty well — they just don’t know it.

This model is the base of so many of New Balance’s most popular silhouettes in 2023. And it’s finally getting a high-profile collaboration with one of New Balance’s best partners.

About time. We break that down and more on the latest episode of Special Delivery.
