This week, Aimé Leon Dore (ALD) and Porsche set the automotive and fashion worlds abuzz with the unveiling of their customized 993 Turbo project. This special collaboration showcases a rich green-and-brown color scheme, giving a luxe, personalized twist to the iconic Porsche roadster. Yet, while the car itself is a masterpiece of design and craftsmanship, it was another element of the collaboration that captured the attention of sneaker aficionados: the debut of the Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance 993.

A Sneaker Worthy of a Turbo

The partnership between ALD and New Balance has produced some of the most coveted sneakers in recent years, and this latest 993 is no exception. Revealed in a single, carefully staged image, the sneaker sits atop the Porsche’s plush leather seats, hinting at its premium construction.

The design features a luxurious mix of materials, including suede, mesh, and leather, with shades of green that perfectly echo the Porsche’s exterior. Yellow and slate grey accents inject a dynamic energy, while a bone and white midsole adds a touch of refinement. Although it’s unclear whether ALD branding appears on the tongue or heel, fans of previous collaborations can expect thoughtful placement of these signature details.

When and Where Can You Get Them?

As of now, Aimé Leon Dore has not announced an official release date for the sneaker. However, speculation suggests that the 993 will be part of a broader ALD x Porsche collection. This collection is expected to debut at the brand’s London flagship store on November 22, coinciding with the Porsche’s unveiling. Fans visiting the store on November 22 and 23 will have the opportunity to see the car up close, potentially alongside other exclusive apparel and accessories.

A Holistic Vision of Luxury

This collaboration goes beyond sneakers and cars, showcasing Aimé Leon Dore’s ability to blend fashion, automotive design, and lifestyle seamlessly. While Porsche likely had no direct hand in the sneaker’s creation, their involvement underscores ALD’s emphasis on storytelling and creating cohesive, aspirational worlds for their audience.

Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting partnership and mark your calendars for November 22 to experience this unique fusion of luxury and culture.
