As mentioned before, Santis has a proclivity for revivals. Leather joins the fray on the ankle collar, with suede through the overlays. Likewise, it’s integrated with a GORE-TEX membrane on the upper with a Vibram sole unit. The incoming one features the same blocking but with khaki being the base layer, grey the overlays, with a hint of purple for contrast on the midsole and laces. The purple and grey scheme appearing in the first batch.

He released three colorways of the boots apropos to the colder months last year and apparently, there’s another one making its way to the surface. He offers a glimpse of what’s in the pipeline via his IG and one of which is the New Balance Rainier. It’s a strong partnership that will continue well into 2023. Reviving oft-forgotten silhouettes, bringing to the fore even the oldest of models like the 550, the 650, and the 993, etc. But one name’s more familiar than the rest, almost synonymous with the brand: Made in USA division leader Teddy Santis and his Aimé Leon Dore label.Īnything he touches turns to gold. Credit it to the evolving taste of the market, or to its plethora of collaborators. New Balance has been going through a renaissance in the better part of the last decade.

TEDDY SANTIS FULL
The full lookbook shows a more comprehensive look at what’s to come-and this is where the fun really starts. They are shoes that come out of the box looking like years-old favorites.

The suede is now fuzzy, giving the shoes a deliciously worn-in quality that works nicely with the slightly yellowed “incense” accents. The shoes depart from the classics only in these small details. There are also strokes of a beige tone New Balance is calling “incense.” While the standard 990’s color is listed as gray, Santis’s use a shade called Marblehead!. The shoes maintain the classic gray associated with the 990-but of course Santis's attention to detail matters there, too.

TEDDY SANTIS SERIES
The first drop includes Santis’s take on the V1, V2, and V3, a series of shoes that get chunkier with each iteration. The 990 has been New Balance’s most reliable hit over the past few years and Santis is smart to go right for the crowd-pleasers from the jump. The focus of the first drop is three new versions of the classic 990 sneaker and an assortment of sweatsuit items. The first batch of products release today, and it seems like the collection has all the makings of another sell-out. Santis was brought on as creative director of New Balance’s premium MADE in USA sub-line with the hope the brand could borrow some of the buzz that keeps ALD’s Manhattan store consistently mobbed-and that have turned his lengthy string of NB collabs into hits. A little over a year after announcing they were becoming more than collaborators, New Balance and Aimé Leon Dore’s Teddy Santis are set to release their first collection together.
