Teddy Santis x New Balance
Teddy Santis, founder and creative director of NYC apparel and lifestyle brand Aimé Leon Dore, releases his first seasonal collection as Creative Director for New Balance MADE in USA. As part of the collection, which marks the 40th anniversary of the iconic 990 silhouette, Santis designed seasonal, limited-edition models of the 990v1 and 990v3, as well as accompanying apparel.
New Balance’s 990 sneaker is synonymous with superior quality and good taste. And this time, Teddy Santis puts his stamp on the ultimate dad sneaker - the 990v3. The uppers are crafted from mesh, then overlaid with premium pigskin and hairy suede details. Underfoot, an ENCAP midsole provides unrivalled cushioning, while branding at the heel, tongue and side wall signs off the look.
For the 990v1, the pair's uppers are crafted from mesh, then overlaid with accents of shaggy grey suede that gives the shoe a lived-in feel. Signature style codes make an appearance in the form of an ‘N’ logo at the side wall and a brand tag on the tongue, while incense yellow hits at the laces and heel drive home the vintage-inspired look.
In addition to the seasonal models of the 990v1 and 990v3, the collection will also include classic American sportswear apparel. With a keen eye for craftsmanship, Santis designed a variety of sweatshirts, sweatpants and tees in grey and navy options.
Santis has made a name for himself by creating products with a New York sensibility. He’s also highly regarded for his deep commitment to authentic storytelling, which is a thread that he’ll sew throughout his work with New Balance. Santis’s vision for MADE is focused on designs that highlight New Balance’s history, heritage and craftsmanship through product, materials, and use of colour.
“As a brand, New Balance has always been drawn to nontraditional and independent creators, which is what makes Teddy such a perfect fit for New Balance MADE in the USA,” said Chris Davis, Chief Marketing Officer and Senior Vice President of Merchandising at New Balance.
“Not only does he have an incredibly authentic and passionate tie to New Balance, but he’s uniquely positioned to help preserve the history of MADE, which is the foundation of the brand, while simultaneously guiding its evolution through his unique design sensibility.”
