Aimé Leon Dore Welcomes Back The New Balance Rainier In Three Colorways

The New Balance Rainier has been out of mainstream footwear zeitgeist for quite some time, but Teddy Santis and his Aimé Leon Dore co-sign is looking to change that come December 16th.

Prepped in three outdoors-ready color combinations, ALD’s Rainer boots introduce several new looks to Santis’ collaborative catalog. Shades of brown, tan, and grey set the stage for contrasting green, maroon, and navy, respectively, for aesthetics that simultaneously harken back to past decades while breathing new life into the boot space. Aimé Leon Dore branding is left to a minimum on New Balance‘s hiking proposition, landing on the top of the tongue; “NB” logos and GORE-TEX labels appear throughout the shoe, too. The Rainier silhouette doesn’t boast the modern technology that other silhouettes within the Boston-based brand’s roster do, but its metal eyelets, protective upper, and Vibram® sole unit deliver a tried-and-proven ride for casual and savvy consumers alike.

Enjoy official images of all three launch styles ahead, and find pairs hitting aimeleondore.com on Friday, December 16th, for $200 USD each.
