Summary

Aimé Leon Dore’s FW26 collection features collaborations with Technics, GORE-TEX, The North Face, and Last Resort AB.
-
Delivery 1, which may include the brand’s first Knicks cap alongside Yankees headwear and new apparel, will be released shortly.
Aimé Leon Dore has officially unveiled its FW26 lookbook, which appears to hint at a possible New York Knicks collaboration. Rooted in the brand’s NY provenance, the broader collection brings its signature high-end sportswear aesthetic into the fold with additional collaborative pieces from Technics, GORE-TEX, The North Face, and Swedish label Last Resort AB.
If you flip through the lookbook, you can easily miss the single Knicks cap featured in the collection alongside new Yankees caps and beanies. The Knicks cap could very well be the brand’s first-ever partnership with the basketball team, though it has repped the NY Yankees baseball team as far back as 2017. The lookbook also continues its collaborations with Japanese audio brand Technics and GORE-TEX, while introducing another debut footwear collaboration with Swedish brand Last Resort AB.
Standout outerwear pieces include the Suede Cafe Racer Jacket, the Technics Varsity Leather Jacket, and a North Face puffer jacket with leather yoke details. The season’s knitwear is expressive with chunky yarns and colorful Fair-Isle patterns. Tailoring is executed with classic woolen tweeds and earth-toned windowpane checks seen in double-breasted jackets and matching trousers. To balance out more tailored looks, denim plays a crucial role in this range, appearing in double-knee carpenter pants, pinstriped jeans, and even shirting.
The Aime Leon Dore Delivery 1 drops on Friday, August 2 at 11 AM ET on aimeleondore.com and at the brand’s flagship stores in New York, Los Angeles, and London.
