dude its kinda refreshing to see you wear your shoes as weird as that sounds lol. i am getting a pair of these and I plan on maybe spraying a protection spray but idgaf about creases man im gonna walk normally its cool seeing these shoes when they are worn because they look better imo. good shit man
Dude thank you for this, I love wearing my shoes and I just wore my grey alds for the first time after getting them saturday and they creased really bad and ugly on the medial side but whatever. I’m just so pumped that they aged well like you showed
I'm really happy that so many people are getting them to wear :) IMO its one of the main selling points of new balance - perfect for everyday wear hahah. Appreciate the love man and really hope you love rocking ur pair!
Love this kind of video, I’d always like to see what sneakers will look like after wore for at least a month, and like the UA-camr really wearing they’re sneakers rather than just showing they’re brandnew collections for resell hype only, shoes should be wearing, salute.
In my experience, you can go a full size down. I got these and went a half size down and The heel slips out like crazy and still have plenty of room in the toebox area. I had to get some heel gel inserts to keep them in place.
informative vid, good to see this type of content where you actually know how they hold up. Also, good version/remix of Promise - Ciara! where can i find the song?
It’s not because its good leather, but because its bad leather that it wore down so quickly. New Balance actually uses pretty bad leather, its just some leather and plastic coating.
@@dennis2559 my feet are wide to the point where I got UP a half size in AF1 compared to jordan 1s. I'd recommend going 0.5 down from ur normal jordan 1 or dunk size

I wear a size 10 on the wider side so I wear a size 10 in jordan 1s, dunks. For these I'd recommend going a half size down if you have normal or narrow width feet. If you go TTS you can end up getting heel slippage.
@@susreviews thanks for that. did you get any heel slippage? i have a pair that fits me snug width-wise but there's still a tiny bit of heel slippage. I'm afraid going down further by half would squeeze my feet dry :(
@@JinXuIsOnline I think I would just deal with the heel slippage if they're already snug width wise. While I think the leather may adapt to your foot over time if you go half a size down, you'll be dealing with the pain for a while.
I'd honestly recommend either getting the 650s when they release in the spring or getting a GR pair. The quality is comparable and if you really want the vintage look get a mid-sole stainer (like from Fox-Trot)
@@emmanuelk.4520 GR so examples would be the non collaboration pairs like white white and navy, white and green etc. New balance collabs tend to only go up in price over time though - so will prob be more expensive in the next half year
these look so good worn in. we need more of this content in the sneaker world for sure
thanks man! will try to keep posting more :) haha
@@susreviews please do!!
Love when people beat their shoes. Gives them character

Love it! Shoes 👏 Were 👏 Made 👏 To 👏 Be 👏 Worn 👏

if "fuck yo couch" was a shoe 😂
I brought my 550s to europe. I walked everywhere with them and it’s now showing the shoes show wear so fast
I love how they look worn! I can't wait to beat up my 550's :)
they look even better now
Do they now?
@@dariusandrews4490 yep, they were designed to be worn
Could you make a cleaning video? I wanna see how easy they are to maintain.
Just ordered the Syracuse color way 😵💫.
I've heard that the 550 UNC blue are made out of a bit lower tier leather and feel more rigid, can anyone tell me how true that is?
i got a comparison video to a GR pair video up - but would generally say ya lower quality leather for sure

@@susreviews thank you!
Thanks for this vid
thanks for showing love

I tend to clean my shoes
is this shoe fits like an airforce 1? like we have to go half size down? or it's fine to go tts? i wear 11 on dunks, 10,5 on af 1, what do you think?
go half size down if ur feet arent too wide
@@susreviews so does it fits like af 1? or different?

Just got mines 3 days ago
did u wear them every day? how are they holding up now?
What's your true size and what size did you get these in?
I wear a size 10 on the wider side so I wear a size 10 in jordan 1s, dunks.

@@susreviews thank you for this, just subbed keep the content comin :D
You should change your socks every day. And ofc dotn forget to clean your shoes, coz they look like you never did it/
But why you kicking the grass?
Where are those blue socks from?
uniqlo!
You should try to clean them
how did you size in these? TTS or .5 size down?
I have wide feet, but would recommend still going 0.5 down, heel slippage was so annoying in these
@@susreviews damn, I just ordered a pair of these exact ones, and now I’m worried I should’ve gotten a smaller size
@@ethansellars9181 I went true and if you tie them pretty tight, you'll be fine, just half a size down gives you more of that 1:1 fit
@@ethansellars9181 how was the fit?
@@AntonP99 it was fine! a little loose, but I don’t mind the loose fit
Do they stretch after time?
they do but very slightly - its a leather so theres definitely a limit to how much give you'll get
I want them so bad but they're so expensive 😭
I'd honestly recommend either getting the 650s when they release in the spring or getting a GR pair. The quality is comparable and if you really want the vintage look get a mid-sole stainer (like from Fox-Trot)
@@susreviews hey wdym with GR? Also do you think the 550 will get cheaper in the next half year or so?

@@emmanuelk.4520 Aime Leon Dore re-releasing 550’s again. Check their website. No drop date but relaxing soon in green, grey, and navy
@@will-la ye I saw. sadly not the green version with the gold N
So not durable since it is dirty
Leather on these is so crap
oh my god those look horrible, so worn down
Ruined.
