LVMH Luxury Ventures is expanding its portfolio as the investing branch of the French luxury label has acquired a minority stake in Aimé Leon Dore.

Founded in 2014 by Teddy Santis, the streetwear brand based in Queens has evolved into a powerhouse in the streetwear and fashion world with collaborations ranging from New Balance, Drake’s, Porsche, Clarks, and others. Santis, ALD’s founder & creative director, was named creative director of New Balance’s “Made in USA” line in 2021.

Aimé Leon Dore, which is revered for its timeless designs with contemporary elements through premium materials, has amassed a following beyond just streetwear and fashion tastemakers as the brand’s influence and designs have trickled down niche’s and the public appeal alike.

Aimé Leon Dore will continue to operate independently out of its NYC offices while receiving support and guidance from LVMH, according to Business of Fashion.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
