Aimé Leon Dore and The North Face Dropped a Helicopter in Manhattan For Their Winter Collab

ALD is heading to the mountains. The Downtown NYC streetwear giant has been a collaborative heavyweight for years, particularly in its ongoing New Balance partnership, and now Teddy Santis’ crew is teaming up with The North Face for a second collection that kicked off with a helicopter in the streets of SoHo.

Big Apple to the Alps

The Aimé Leon Dore x The North Face collection takes a ski weekend from the Big Apple in a mix of traditional winter gear that blends vibes from the mountains and the city streets. Featuring everything from a classic yellow puffer to a beige winter trench coat, the collection adds co-branded pieces for head-to-toe warmth and exploration, from balaclavas and beanies to duffel bags and boots.

“Going into our second season with The North Face, we wanted to continue building on the shared values that brought us together in the first place. There’s a real respect for heritage, purpose, and the outdoors on both sides,” says Teddy Santis, Founder and Creative Director of Aimé Leon Dore. “This season is about taking those foundations and pushing them forward through the Aimé Leon Dore lens, creating product that feels considered, functional, and built to live with you for a long time.”
