Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance 1000 "Pristine" (White): Review & On-Feet

Aimé Leon Dore and New Balance's latest collab saw the release of three colourways of the 1000 silhouette. Releasing in black, grey and this one - the "Pristine" or White colourway, they feature a mix of genuine leathers, synthetic overlays and reflective panels. Check out my in-depth review of this super clean pair for summer, and leave your opinions on them down below! Is this a cop or a drop?

I bought these in the raffle in a half size after watching your JFG videos! They fit me perfectly! Thank you Sean!

[@SeanGo]

🤞🙏👏

[@Fialectro]

Are you wide footed or narrow? Still haven't been able to find a local GR model in store to try on

[@spiroskaravalakis9358]

@@Fialectro if narrow footed you might end up with a bit of space on toe box if go tts but not a big deal .

[@spiroskaravalakis9358]

Are you narrow footed ?

Hi Sean, I just wanted to say that I really enjoy watching yours. reviews of sneakers on your KZbin channel, and I believe that you are one of the best in this genre. Always your videos. look great. If it's not a secret how many pairs of sneakers are in your collection, I just see a large number of boxes behind you, thanks again for your reviews, everything is very wonderful

[@SeanGo]

I honestly lost count, probably 4-500? 👀😭

[@TheVirgims]

@@SeanGo Thanks for your reply Sean. You've calmed me down a bit. So things aren't so bad for me. I have about 300 pairs in my collection. Your answer suggests that I’m not the only one suffering from this addiction, and I don’t know how to recover from it.😂😂

[@theogpop]

Great review as always! I went with the Grey pair and I love them. My wife has the JFG 1000 Pink pair and I think the ALD collab looks a lot better. Love my pair and I love the NB ALD Collabs. This makes a 4th ALD NB sneaker for me.

[@reyhanpradantyo]

These are gorgeous

[@theboywhoneverwas]

These are beautiful 😍

[@SeanGo]

They are!

[@mariolopez3068]

My pair it’s getting delivered in the next few hours 🙌🏼

[@SeanGo]

yes!!!

[@garethcyrus]

looks so good on you Sean! defo a cop for me. looking to get it on a reasonable price at stock x ^__^

[@benwakeman]

Not a great fan but this is probably my fave 1000. Still undecided though and paying resell is just a hassle I can’t really afford… great review, Sean! I really feel like I know this shoe now!

[@nycboriqua90]

I have the regular release 1000s and after they're broken in, they're very comfy.

[@relentlesseducator]

Love my pair. Most comfy NB’s I have and I have a lot of models. Love the materials and design.

[@SunikaRabo]

The triple black looks nice. Hope I can secure a pair

[@Fialectro]

I believe that was ALD only not NB and those are already sold out.

[@B_Y22]

These and the 993 beef and broccolis look much better in person.

[@dcb326]

My pair came in yesterday and I broke them in immediately. Got these and the JFG Black Ice pair now, so I think I'm good on the 1000 for now unless another good collab comes along later haha

[@jsuno23]

did you go half size down? or tts?

[@dcb326]

@@jsuno23 I went TTS, but Sean is right that these run long and theres a bit of room, but for me, not enough where im slipping out of them. I'd like to try half a size down at some point, but im pretty sure they would be too tight for me.

[@jsuno23]

@@dcb326 thicker socks it is! thanks for fast reply

[@NewYorker914]

I copped these bad boys on drop day from the ALD store in soho on Mulberry street in NYC

[@hongyangsun6170]

Could you do a review for the Linen AF1s? Thank you!

[@SeanGo]

Yes, soon

[@jpbailey]

These are clean on feet for sure.

[@EricGarciaJDM]

Who was running the raffle for these like what store?

[@laurad7034]

How does the fit compare to the 9060s?

[@samonte]

Hit on the grey pair but may need to swap them for this colorway. Too clean.

[@ajaysamuel2030]

Bro you are making me think …I need to cop….is there anything better coming From NB ..?

[@spiroskaravalakis9358]

Black was a myth but the most intriguing looking out of the three .

[@SeanGo]

too much black, wasn’t for me personally so glad this one was the one that was more limited 😂

[@spiroskaravalakis9358]

@@SeanGo copped the white today for retail half size down . I had a bid accepted very fast after the ALD fcfs drop but I went tts . I hope the black won’t feel like an air carrier with the possible space at the toe box and I hope I will be able to get away half down on the white pair as well 😅

[@tranellchavis7588]

The black colorway has the white sticking, the patent leather and mesh upper. While the grey has the same full leather upper like the white but has a sorta shark teeth detailing under the tpu layer. Folks really dont see the details because ALD didn’t give enough detailas of them. when people see them in the wild they are gonna be mad this missed on these frfr.

[@SeanGo]

🙏🙏🙏

[@ajaysamuel2030]

White pair is the best

[@jay_ohhlayy]

They not bad.. kinda remind me of air max 95

[@N.Hootdoog]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Masson1903]

i dont hate them. Look a lot like air max 95s. Not for me personally but a nice shoe

[@vc0nn]

These get trashed a lot for shoes that were hard to get (grey/black). Luckily the white is my favorite.

[@jdogbeck1]

HE (Ald) CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS

[@MrLENrok]

Build quality in my pristine pair was just ok. A lot of glue stains.

[@eddy_westside]

They look like a "reimagined" AM95 to me. Not a fan of the silhouette at all but that silver/black colorway OK I guess

[@KenTien93]

What socks are you wearing?

[@SeanGo]

just basic stance crew socks

[@benwakeman]

Those artic grey 860v2s are a bit good… cough 😅

[@Qwest905]

to me these are just air max 95s

[@YudiTera]

Hmmm i don't know how I feel about the all leather upper. Doesn't seem breathable. I wouldn't wanna wear that shoe more then 3 hours on a warm day.🥴

[@karthikeyachowdary2735]

I just think the ALD collabs are just bland.. they can be GRs

[@Fialectro]

Colorways yes but the material are usually much better

[@oyedotuno9014]

ALD vs JJJJJound, which is better for materials

[@Fialectro]

@@oyedotuno9014 honestly that depends on the exact model they put out.

[@kevinkow13]

I wouldn’t cut grass in these.

[@zanemontego8090]

The whole pack is a yawn

😴

[@romrome]

Stepping on poop is a first-world problem

[@SeanGo]

LMAO yeah

[@romrome]

@@SeanGo Between this pair and the JFG pink mink, which do you prefer more?

[@wreckead]

New balance drops suck!

[@ben20842]

Still a trash silhouette

[@aungmon4592]

Those are too close to fila

[@SeanGo]

😭

[@blackgoblin1004]

Collabs this year have been so watered down. At least Action Bronsin is trying to be creative with color blocking. ALD has been very unremarkable for a while

[@IDONTPLAYENT]

The Silver and Black GR’s are still #1 🫡
