Reviving The New Balance 1000 With Aimé Leon Dore In Black And White

 New Balance kicked off the 2024 revival of the 1000 model with a collaboration with Chicago designer Joe Freshgoods. Following that, Aimé Leon Dore’s founder, Teddy Santis, teased two new versions: a clean white and silver model and a bold black patent leather version.

The white and silver Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance 1000 sneaker is a stylish mix of old-school and modern elements. It features a see-through ’N’ logo on the side, soft gray overlays, and ALD branding on the tongue and forefoot. The mesh base, layered design, perforated toe box, translucent lacelets, and roped laces with a hiking-inspired pattern add a rugged touch.

The Leica D-Lux 8 is built for both amateur photographers and professionals looking for a high-performing compact camera. It features a 4/3” CMOS sensor that captures detailed images with a 22 MP resolution (17 MP effective). The fast Leica DC Vario-Summilux 10.9–34 f/1.7–2.8 ASPH. lens, equivalent to a 24–75mm lens in a 35mm camera, captures sharp photos in various lighting conditions.

A notable addition is the ability to shoot in the DNG format, giving photographers more flexibility when editing their photos. The D-Lux 8 also includes a high-resolution 2.36M dot OLED viewfinder and a 1.84M dot rear screen, making it easier to compose and review shots.

Designed for comfort and ease, the D-Lux 8 features repositioned controls and an intuitive interface. It also connects seamlessly with the Leica FOTOS app, allowing for easy sharing and remote control. Thanks to a USB-C socket, charging is convenient, too.
