Aimé Leon Dore Goes Gorpy With First GORE-TEX Collaboration

by

As a seasoned adventurer and connoisseur of functional fashion, I can wholeheartedly say that the Aimé Leon Dore x GORE-TEX collaboration has sent shockwaves through my outdoor-enthusiast heart. Having traversed treacherous terrains in all sorts of weather conditions, I know a thing or two about the importance of reliable gear.

Aimé Leon Dore, a luxury streetwear label from Queens, is partnering with GORE-TEX, a renowned manufacturer of breathable, waterproof and windproof materials, known for their role in the outdoor-inspired gorpcore aesthetic. Under the leadership of Teddy Santis, the brand is making its debut into the market by collaborating with GORE-TEX to produce two functional silhouettes – the GORE-TEX Shell Jacket and the GORE-TEX Double Knee Shell Pant – for the Fall/Winter 2024 season.

These items come in vibrant lime green and sleek black colors. Both designs are crafted using GORE-TEX’s top-tier three-layer ePE membrane, providing excellent protection against harsh natural conditions. The Shell Jacket showcases a streamlined appearance with completely sealed seams, an adjustable hood, numerous practical pockets, and the brand names embroidered on either side of the chest. In contrast, the Double Knee Shell Pant complements the jacket, featuring double reinforced knees, an adjustable waistband, flexible cuffs, and subtle branding placed on the upper thigh area.

The initial offering from the Aimé Leon Dore joint venture with GORE-TEX has just been released, and it’s exclusively up for grabs at Aimé Leon Dore retail stores and their online platform. The Shell Jacket retails at $595 USD, while the Double Knee Shell Pant is priced at $395 USD. Have a gander at both designs in the gallery above.
