Attention sneaker heads and fashion girlies, Aritzia has done it again. Next to giving us classic clothing styles that somehow remain trendy and timeless, they also know how to make incredible shoes — or rather collaborate on them. Around this time last year, we reported that the Canadian clothing brand partnered with Sperry Top-Sider to release a collection of boat shoes that have since sold out twice. Later in the same year, they quietly released their first-ever collaboration with Nike, which became an IYKYK-kinda shoe for fashion “it” girls. And now, five months later, the two are back with a brand-new colorway you can score today.
Allow us to introduce you to the new Aritzia x Nike LD-1000’ EDITION A’ in the color Sesame. Originally, the classic low-top sneaker was released in October in a beautiful brown hue called Fauna. If you shop at Aritzia as much as this writer does, you might notice that the brand’s iconic Rich Mocha Brown shade is very similar. However, this new shade is on the opposite end of the spectrum. Sesame is more of a toasted beige hue that’s more suitable for the spring season (although brown is having a major moment this year, more on that later). Just like the last pair, this new colorway is made from a premium textured leather upper and features a beautiful gum sole that only adds to the shoe’s character.

Aritzia x Nike LD-1000 'EDITION A' in Sesame
Now, to the untrained eye, these LD-1000’ EDITION A’ sneakers don’t look like your traditional pair of Nikes. There isn’t a massive “Swoosh” check mark on the outside that would make them recognizable. Instead, the iconic logo is much smaller and embossed on the outside of the toe box, with the Nike brand written across the back of the heel and embossed on the top of the tongue. As a sneakerhead myself with a very extensive collection of Nikes, it’s refreshing to see a sleek, minimal approach to such an iconic shoe. Which gives it that IYKYK vibe and fits perfectly into the Aritzia aesthetic.
The new Sesame colorway of the LD-1000’ EDITION A’ sneakers was first made available yesterday exclusively on the Aritzia app, but you can now find them in select stores and on Aritzia.com. Each pair comes with a special, custom-designed Aritzia charm thatis placed on the shoe at random, so you won’t know which one it is until it arrives. Below, take a closer look at the new Aritzia x Nike LD-1000’ EDITION A’ sneakers in Sesame, along with the previous colorway, and the cutest dainty shoe charms you can only find at Aritzia.

But if you’re like me, then the Fauna colorway is the one for you. The rich chocolate brown hue works as a great neutral and the embossed check on the side pops just a little bit more.
