Name: Vibram x Nike Air Force 1 Low “Bomber Grey”Colorway: Barely Grey/City Grey/Bomber Grey/Speed YellowSKU: IH1943-002MSRP: $140 USDRelease Date: Summer 2026Following the previous reveal of the tactical Vibram x Nike Air Force 1 Low partnership – which initially introduced the “Pencil Point,” “Summit White” and “Silt Red” iterations – official images have emerged for a new colorway to the lineup: “Bomber Grey.”This latest iteration embraces an industrial, monochromatic palette, dressing the AF1 in layered tones of “Barely Grey” and “City Grey,” combining smooth leather panels with perforated detailing across the toe box and quarters. Branding remains subtle, with tonal Swooshes on the sides and Nike Air logos on the tongue and heel tab, maintaining the AF1’s heritage identity while emphasizing a muted, utilitarian finish. One of the key features of the sneaker is its Vibram sole unit, which replaces the traditional AF1 midsole with a chunky, traction‑focused design.

Name: Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance Gator “Cream”Colorway: TBCSKU: TBCMSRP: $130 USDRelease Date: TBCWhere to Buy: ALDAimé Leon Dore and New Balance have unveiled their collaborative Gator, the latest entry in their ongoing partnership and a new addition to the ALD SS26 Delivery 5 lineup. The silhouette arrives in a single “Cream” cream colorway at $130 USD, available exclusively through ALD.On the material level, the Gator earns its name. Hairy suede overlays define the upper’s texture, set against cleaner nylon underlays — a pairing that keeps the construction grounded while giving the silhouette its tactile identity. Underfoot, a die-cut EVA midsole handles cushioning, while a rugged rubber outsole provides the kind of grip that reads more workwear than running track.Where the design gets deliberate is in the detailing. A nubuck leather “N” logo sits on the lateral, and the heel carries an embossed Queens crest — a recurring motif in Aimé Leon Dore’s New Balance work that roots every release back to the Flushing, Queens address where Teddy Santis first built the brand. The custom co-branded tongue tag and sockliner close out the package without overstatement.That Queens crest has become one of the most recognizable signals in the ALD x New Balance vocabulary. Since the partnership began yielding serious cultural traction — most visibly through the 550, which Santis helped resurrect into one of the defining sneakers of the early 2020s — the collaboration has consistently used material restraint and borough pride as its compass. The “Cream” fits that template precisely: no loud colorwork, no excess branding, just texture and provenance doing the heavy lifting.
