Michael Le New Balance 2002R Refined Future M2002RDG New Balance family, Aime Leon Dore has been crafting some of the best collaborations with the Boston-based label to date, digging through the archives to bring back the 990v2 while also tapping some oft-worn classics like the 997 and more. But despite the start of a new year, they’ve yet to grace us with another release, though as teased via their social media, it looks like we won’t have to be waiting much longer. Visualized in a fashion that has become their signature — one obviously in honor of vintage NB ads — the shoot lays out the 827 Abzorb as if witnessed in the everyday, using unconventional models to speak to that very narrative. Flower-filled tote in hand on one and a cigar within the fingers of the other, the ensemble highlights one core theme: “Runners aren’t normal.” Design-wise, the shoe embodies this belief with a colorful aesthetic that makes more use of accenting notes than the entire base. From the toe caps to the core fabrications, it all seems to lie in a bright white, only stopping at stitches, eye stay elements, “N” logos, treads, and more through a mix of reds, blues, and greens. Grab a look at their teaser imagery here and sit tight for solid release details.
