The new 991 should build on the box office hit and looks really promising. Aimé Leon Dore (ALD for short) was in New York in 2014 Teddy Santis founded. The fire was inspired by Santi "S impressions from hip -hop and basketball of the 90s because he himself played a lot of basketball and the two things went hand in hand, especially in New York where he grew up. You can still see the parallels today This time and you can find some 90's inspired clothing in his web shop.

Opinion of Aimé Leon Dore X New Balance 991
As you know, I'm a big fan of Collaborations. The two sneakers have really cool colorways that go fit with everyone and the Aimé Leon Dore X also fit for the summer New Balance 991 very good. In addition to the simple colors, the Premium Quality and the small number of pieces and therefore exclusivity, especially because "dad shoes" are still quite popular.
