The Aime Leon Dore Unisphere Cap in Navy is a signature piece that connects directly to the brand’s Queens, New York roots. The Unisphere is a stainless steel globe sculpture built for the 1964 World’s Fair in Flushing Meadows, Queens. ALD has adopted this landmark as a recurring motif across their collections, and this navy nylon cap features the Unisphere graphic embroidered in gold thread across the front panel along with the Aime Leon Dore script and the “Queens, New York. The World’s Borough” tagline. The cap uses a lightweight nylon shell that gives it a slightly technical and water-resistant feel compared to traditional cotton twill construction. This is a piece that carries genuine meaning and tells you something real about where ALD comes from.
