His personality comes to life throughout the campaign, showing his relevance on and off the court. Originally introduced in 1993, ABZORB cushioning revolutionized running technology and has since become a signature feature of several fan favorite lifestyle models. The ABZORB 2010 represents the most familiar visual, amongst the progressive designs of the ABZORB range, combining an exaggerated ABZORB sole unit with an upper inspired by popular 2000s era styles. The ABZORB 2010 will be available in Black Cement/Grey Matter/Hot Tomato and Black Cement/Angora/Pink Lemonade, launching exclusively at Foot Locker Philippines stores and online on Sunday, July 26, 2026.

Aimé Leon Dore and New Balance are ready for training season with their SS26 Running Capsule. July 9, 2026 A culture and lifestyle enthusiast sharing stylish, human-centered stories at... Aimé Leon Dore and New Balance have been building one of the most consistent creative partnerships in contemporary sneaker culture, and their SS26 Performance Running Capsule is the clearest expression yet of what makes that partnership work. Where most lifestyle-brand-meets-performance-brand collaborations lean heavily on the lifestyle side and treat the performance dimension as aesthetic, ALD and New Balance have approached this drop with genuine training intent. The capsule is centered on two of New Balance's most credible running silhouettes, the FuelCell Rebel v5 for everyday training and the FuelCell SC Elite v5 for race day, and the apparel range built around them is designed to function rather than simply accompany. The full collection releases through Aimé Leon Dore's webstore and flagship locations on Thursday, July 9 at 11 a.m. ET, with the FuelCell Rebel v5 and SC Elite v5 seeing a wider release on New Balance's official site starting July 16. Teddy Santis has built ALD's identity around New York City's cultural specificity, and this collection extends that approach into performance territory. The blue and orange color language running through the capsule is a direct reference to the aesthetic world of New York City running culture, the challenging, celebrated journey to the New York City Marathon, and the fall race season that defines the city's running calendar. That specificity of reference is what separates ALD's design thinking from the generic approach most collaborations take to running-inspired products. The clothes and shoes feel like they were made for someone who actually runs in New York, not for someone who wants to look like they might. The footwear. The FuelCell Rebel v5 is the everyday training anchor of the capsule. Built for the kind of sustained, regular mileage that serious runners accumulate through the week, it arrives here in a deep cobalt blue with exclusive ALD co-branding. The Rebel v5 platform is known among runners for its responsive foam and versatile ride quality that sits comfortably between a full cushion daily trainer and a tempo shoe, making it a genuinely useful training tool rather than a display piece. The FuelCell SC Elite v5 is a different proposition entirely. Engineered explicitly for race day, it represents New Balance's most performance-oriented offering and arrives in the capsule in a gradient green that transitions into a black midsole. The SC Elite platform has been worn by competitive runners at major marathons and carries the kind of performance pedigree that justifies its presence in a collection framed around race-day readiness. The color choice here is deliberate in its separation from the training shoe's cobalt - two different tools for two different purposes, color-coded accordingly. The apparel and the Utility Vest. The apparel range accompanying the footwear is built around the same utilitarian logic that drives the shoe selection. Technical outerwear, performance running apparel, and accessories complete the capsule in a way that makes it possible to build a complete training kit from a single collection rather than mixing and matching from different sources. The standout functional piece is the Running Utility Vest equipped with two Hydrapak SoftFlasks. This is a specific and meaningful inclusion; the Hydrapak SoftFlask system is a legitimate piece of running hydration equipment used by endurance athletes, and its integration into an ALD vest signals that the capsule is genuinely oriented toward function rather than performing a version of athletic credibility. The broader apparel selection covers the full range of what a serious training season requires, from technical layers that handle variable summer weather to running accessories that complete the kit. The ALD design language is present throughout without overwhelming the functional purpose of each piece, which is the difficult balance that most lifestyle brands attempting performance products fail to achieve. What this drop represents for ALD and New Balance. The SS26 Performance Running Capsule extends a creative partnership that has produced some of the most discussed collaborative products in recent years. Where earlier ALD x New Balance releases leaned more heavily into lifestyle and archive silhouettes, this capsule represents a maturation of the collaboration into genuinely performance-oriented territory. Santis's decision to root the collection in the New York City Marathon's cultural weight gives it a narrative specificity that makes it more than a seasonal color story. The July 9 drop positions it at the beginning of the summer training season, when runners are building the base mileage that feeds into fall race goals. The timing is intentional, and the product reflects it. Shop editor's picks More photos from the capsule... Featured image: Aimé Leon Dore - Read also
