New Balance’s series of collaborations with Aimé Leon Dore continues this week, with the surprise release of two colorways of the 993. Head over to ALD’s site to get your raffle entry in before the window closes tomorrow night.

The New Balance 993 was originally introduced to the 99x line in 2008, established as the final piece of the brand’s intricate numbered puzzle. The silhouette blends the technologies of the previous 992 and 991 models, mixing extra cushioning with a wider platform for the ultimate comfort experience. However, the 993 has taken somewhat of a backseat to other 99x family members in recent years. That is likely to change, as New Balance’s trend-setting collaborative partners at Aimé Leon Dore have just unveiled their take on the mid-2000s runner, which will likely increase public interest in the shoe. Dresses in two highly contrasting colorways, ALD’s take on the 993 is currently available via raffle in your choice of brown with olive green accents, or white with blue and purple underlays.
