Official Aime Leon Dore Thread

Few screengrabs. Nothing eye-catching for me just yet. Might just be how some of the stuff is styled oversized on teenagers. The older dudes is more my vibe.

There's also a new 990v2 shown

 

[buddhashark]

I’ve lived through and participated in the baggy clothes era. I’m not going back.

Damn that marketing is pretty bad. Showcasing your new product through old men and little kids? Wtf is he thinking?

Noticing a lot of the original 550s are being shown, maybe it's a sign they're coming back.

 

[doug3fresh]

Like the 990v2 with pale sole

I've purchased a couple things from ALD in the past but never got any early access, is there a way to log in and check access or do we need to wait for an email?

No one really knows how a person receives EA. Just have to spend regularly…

Wait for email.

I really hope all the hats suck this season. Don’t want to spend anymore money

 

[hippohead]

He needs to bring back the patchwork cardigan!

 

[dorien]

[W)taps]

Didn't know the ALD cafe was closed down. Anyone know if it's just tempory?

 

[solefx]

That’s unfortunate. I heard it was actually good coffee.

Need to exert patience and thought with this week’s drop.

 

[jamie dimon]

Coat fabrics look nice but length looks short and tbh RL version gets the details better.

italian collar shirt looks cool

 

[buddhashark]

A few nice-to-haves. No must-haves.

Yeah some of those tactical type jackets look WAY too short. So good, but unnecessarily short.

 

[jamie dimon]

^if you’re referring to the one with two small pockets on right chest, isn’t that based off a fishing jacket? Those are supposed to be cut short so if you’re fishing you can wade into water without getting bottom of jacket wet.

I was more referring to actual coats like below where it doesn’t even reach the knee. I had the same issue with the patchwork coats last year (admittedly I didn’t actually see it in person but from pics it seemed to be on shorter side)

I have a love-hate relationship with the fact that that every season they rerelease similar pieces in different colorways. I love that they are staples to the brand so if you missed it last year you can go back and grab it, but I always feel they improve on some of the pieces I have but I can’t warrant buying something so similar. Rant done.

Overall, a solid look book. Love a lot of the outerwear, but really was hoping for that Schott leather jacket which still isn’t getting released. I also wish the grey herringbone jacket didn’t have raglan shoulders, I had bought one a couple seasons back and it fit horribly, it would have made for a great work jacket.

Sunglasses and loafers are restocking this week along with a ton of hats and accessories. Seems like a lot of the outwear is being held until the next drop.

These 3 hats are … Chain Stitch

I feel the same way about the re-dos, they are always going to have certain items re-released with minor revisions, but you just recently bought an item from a previous season, it should hold up for the next few seasons at least. I tend to get overwhelmed when I see the items that are dropping, and usually need to dissect everything to determine what I really want. From what I've seen, I will aim for a couple of the pant styles they've previewed, that floral fleece, the multicolor sweater from the video, and a few accessories I don't smoke but I really like that zippo lol. Really like the palette they used this season.
