Aimé Leon Dore is a New York menswear and womenswear label founded in 2014 by Teddy Santis, who grew up in Queens with Greek immigrant parents. Its "New Prep" aesthetic mixes 1990s New York streetwear with Americana and Mediterranean references across logo sweatshirts, rugby shirts, knitwear, tailored outerwear and suede footwear. Santis has designed New Balance's Made in USA line since 2021, and ALD's New Balance 550 and 990 releases anchor its sneaker output. LVMH Luxury Ventures took a minority stake in 2022; the brand runs its own stores and cafés.
