  • I decided to make this video after the recent surge in popularity of the New Balance 550. I feel like recently it's so crazy where colorways are selling out in seconds and the resale market is so crazy for most CWs. This video will hopefully tell you everything you need to know.

    Love this model and have two GRs of them (Shifted Red and Multicolor). I also recently copped on Clearance the Adidas Torsion Edbergs and they give me a huge 550 vibe without spending much (yellowed soles included)!

    What a flex! 6 pair of 550🤑. I’m super happy to own one pair: the grey ALD’s. The best of the bunch imo. I did buy them in a size 10, quite snug but after breaking in it feels way better luckily! Keep it going my guy! Great video as always. Peace ✌🏽

    Does a regular GR 550 have good leather or is it just collabs? 🤣 I have to tape all of my shoe boxes too, its because we have them stacked on top of each other.

    So I’m a tts 11M … I bought 3 550’s in 10.5… all alds… sprite fit tight but broke in really well after a couple of wears… the ald grey and the ald navy fit super tight around the toe box… I haven’t worn them yet because I have 650’a(navy and blue 😂) coming tts 11. Also just purchased the gr “Chicago” in A tts 11…

    • @guynkicks
      @guynkicks  2 роки тому +1

      Yeah the fit on 550s is weird. Safest bet is TTS. I went TTS on the 650s hopefully that should work and with the high top the heel slippage should go away.

    • @guynkicks
      @guynkicks  2 роки тому +1

      You can grab a 550 but you won’t experience great comfort and quality. Not to bash the 550, it’s just that it’s not the most comfortable NB. Go with a 990 v2, V3, V4, or v5. 991 or 992. This would be a great start.
