Aimé Leon Dore x Olympiacos F.C. — A Love Letter to Piraeus

If there’s one designer who knows how to bring Greek culture and heritage into contemporary streetwear, it’s Teddy Santis. The man behind Aimé Leon Dore has built a brand where his Greek roots are more than an influence, they are part of its identity, from the visuals and storytelling to the collections themselves.


But what happens when two legends come together?


For the second time, Aimé Leon Dore joins forces with Olympiacos F.C., or Thrylos (The Legend), as the club is known to generations of Greek football supporters. Following their first collaboration in 2025, the two return with an 18-piece collection that brings the spirit of Piraeus into the world of modern streetwear.

And there is something particularly clever about the way Santis approaches it. From the campaign film, deeply rooted in the everyday life of Piraeus, with its balconies, traditional kafeneia, harbour, streets and football celebrations, every detail speaks to a very particular sense of Greek identity.

The collection itself follows the same philosophy. Dressed in Olympiacos' signature red and white, the 18-piece drop finds its standout in a leather team jacket, while technical quarter-zips, nylon track pants and training shorts bring a more athletic edge. Ringer polos and full-zip hoodies offer a relaxed take on everyday dressing, with souvenir caps and stadium beanies completing a wardrobe that moves effortlessly between the terraces and the streets. It is a clever balance of football nostalgia, classic sportswear and the understated sophistication that has become synonymous with Aimé Leon Dore.

Santis understands something that many brands struggle to capture: the beauty of Greek culture lies just as much in its everyday life as in its history. And by bringing that authenticity into the world of fashion, he has created a collaboration that feels as natural on the streets of Piraeus as it does in New York.

Two legends, one shared heritage, and a collection that knows exactly where it comes from.
