    The 550 is a beautiful and complex looking model. The AF1 is loved for its simplicity and flair. People comparing the two are literally just looking at the outlines of the shoes.

  • @Kicks4Fresh
    @Kicks4Fresh 2 роки тому +93

    I hope the hype goes down this year so I can cop more. I’m really digging this model. They remind me more of a dunk low than an AF1 but with more character, better quality and waaay more comfortable. I have a few I’m eyeing!

    • @elvitu8038
      @elvitu8038 2 роки тому +8

      I suggest getting the GR pairs, massively underrated and not too expensive, particularly the Orange or the Red which are always relatively cheap.

    Yo! What do you guys think about the sizing of these?! I found it hard to call, I have a 9 and a 9.5 (im a 9.5 usually) 9 felt too snug for my wide foot, but 9.5 felt a little roomy lol. What you guys recommend to others, leave a comment what you went with and if it worked ok! Also 550 restock tomorrow am in description!

    • @Billycar1130
      @Billycar1130 2 роки тому +4

      I recommend staying true to size. I find there to be heel slippage whether you stay true to size or half size down. But I will say that goin a half size down the shoe becomes too narrow. That is why I recommend staying try to size !

      @lees_snkrs 2 роки тому

      I'm a TTS 7, but wear 550s in a 6.5. They loosen up after a wear or two, so I've always gone a half size down. I do feel that wide footers should stick TTS though

    Got the red and black pair from the shifted sports pack on sale for $56 shipped in November. Best come up of the year. They’re still holding up good. I’ve taken them in the snow, camping, casual walking, they’ve been everywhere. Definitely a great shoe but honestly the highest I’d pay is retail unless it’s a collaborative pair.

    Hey, love the vids and watch most your vids when deciding to buy a new pair of trainers, still yet to buy the nb 1080 v11s but defo on my buy list,
    just thought i would comment to say of all the trainer makers out there, i have found the new balance trainers to be built the best, never any sign of glue
    and stitching always on point, i know most heads prefer nikes but for me you really do get a quality pair of shoes when buying new balance
    they are usually priced well to which is great.
    Keep up the good work
    Peace

      Everybody has their favorite. Mine is the 998 by far. Although, the OG 990 (990v1) is simply iconic and the quality is unmatched; it's impossible to convey until they're in-hand & on foot. The 997s look great but are a bit stiff. 992s are prbly the most comfy IMO.
