To start off 2026, I’m reviewing the newest Aime Leon Dore and New Balance collaboration! This collection draws inspiration from Nordic winter exploration, and is headlined by two colourways of the 991. Check out my review of this “Chocolate” colourway to learn all you need to know!

Concepts x New Balance 997 “Montage” Review
