The Aime Leon Dore x New Balance Varsity Hoodie in Oatmeal is one of the most detailed pieces in the ALD x New Balance collaboration. The front features a vintage style basketball illustration showing two players in action, drawn in a retro line art style in black on the oatmeal heathered base. Multiple circular patches are placed on both sleeves, giving the hoodie a varsity letterman jacket feel. The navy blue ribbed trim at the hem adds a strong contrast against the light oatmeal body. On the back, “International Friendship Through Basketball” is printed in large navy serif text, which is a phrase tied to the Sonny League’s mission of building community through sports. Additional patches and New Balance branding appear on the sleeves. This is one of the most heavily detailed hoodies in the entire ALD collection, with something to look at from every angle.
