The recent collaboration between Aime Leon Dore and Porsche is sparking the interest of car enthusiasts and sneakerheads. Earlier this week, the Queens-based streetwear brand and the German-grown auto manufacturer revealed their latest project, the Aimé Leon Dore Porsche 993 Turbo.
However, the keen eyes of sneaker fans have noticed a single picture of the new Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance 993 in a new colorway.
The colors of the Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance 993 match the opulent Mulberry green of the car. It may be noted that Porsche is not involved in any way regarding the design of the sneakers.
The prices and official release date of the Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance 993 sneakers are yet to be revealed.
Aime Leon Dore x Porsche: 993 Turbo and New Balance 993
Before getting into the details of the sneakers, the 993 Turbo needs to be mentioned since the shoes draw heavy inspiration from the car. The Aimé Leon Dore Porsche 993 Turbo is the fifth classic model restoration between the two powerhouses.
The 993 Turbo features a Mulberry green exterior with dark brown leather and a lambswool interior that just spells deluxe. It is equipped with a powerful twin-turbo powertrain and a 993 Turbo S spoiler. The brass gear nob is a custom design by Unisphere.
Since the Aime Leon Dore x Porsche New Balance 993 sneakers have not been launched officially, the materials and technology behind the shoes can only be drawn from the sneak peek image.
Aime Leon Dore x Porsche teases with a single image of the New Balance 993 resting on the leather and lambswool seats. The upper seems to be a combination of mesh, leather, and a luxurious-looking suede that matches the Mulberry green of the car's exteriors. The pop of yellow of the sock lining adds a vibrant contrast to the sneakers.
Further details include a bone and white sole, with the number "993" on the side of the heel. The brand's logo cannot be seen in the picture but based on previous releases, it would most likely be placed on the heel.
There are rumors that the sneaker will be unveiled on 22-23 November 2024 at the London Flagship, 32 Broadwick, for the Aimé Leon Dore Porsche 993 Turbo. Further details will be updated.
Aime Leon Dore x Porsche continues to wow fans with their collaboration, be it automotive or streetwear. While the release dates are not confirmed, stay tuned and keep a lookout at the Aime Leon Dore x Porsche Flagship on 22-23 November 2024.
