Your wife...Jodi, does the best job of editing on UA-cam. Period. Those inserts (I am not sure what to call them) always makes the most sense and is perfectly timed. The whole channel is entertaining even when I am not interested in the shoes you are show casing. Thanks
Grew up in the '80s and '90s. I remember a buddy of mine who had really narrow feet said he could only wear New Balance back in the day. This was when everybody was wearing Jordans, Air Flights, Air Trainers, Air Max , and BKs, Diadora, Fila etc. So I always associated them with very narrow feet. Not anymore obviously. Anyway, great vid.
QOTD: You two are the best. The number of times that you make each other smile or laugh... relationship goals! It sounds like 550s are too narrow to fit me, which is a shame cause they look good and I *love* when materials are on point. I'm locked-in with my love for Dunks but if these were on sale at about $80, it would be tempting to try a pair. Thanks for the review! Here's a like, there's a thumbs up, and I even turned notifications on (not like I'm not checking for a new video every day).
I really want them but don’t know if even getting a full size up from my wide length size will work. I am 9 in Timberlands, work boots and AF1s and air more uptempo and 8.5 wide in converse but can’t wear a 9 from most sneaker brands due to my width in my larger foot. I am hoping a 10 will work and I have worn a 10 in Lebron 8s and loved them as a performance shoe and wore the sole out completely I wore them so much over the course of like three or four years playing basketball in them. They were actually my favourite shoe for playing in of my adult life and only the Hyperdunk came close but had too much of a heel to toe drop and too much of a heel stack height for my liking. Loved how flat the 8s were and the size 10 worked for me although I could have probably wore a 9.5, but who knows.
Bro you need to check up again on their Numeric Skateboarding line. They finally got their shit together and started putting out consistent collabs. The Numeric 480 303 Boards x Jeremy Fish pair and the newest Andrew Reynolds 480 in white leather are worth checking out.
Grabbed these in this blue and the dark blue and red/organge. They are crazy nice in hand. Thought I was done with the 550s until I got these. 🔥🔥🔥 pair!
How is this channel not get 1mil subs is kinda mind boggling, if you a hooper and not following this channel you're missing out and even as the casual sneaker head. Chris knowledge about sneakers is need to be recognized more
@@WearTesters Awww! Thank you! You may not remember us, but we were the ones who set the Michael Scott "That's What She Said" t-shirt that was a little small fof Chris (sorry about that!). Wishing you all the best!
I love the 550! I don't have the same sizing issue you do and I don't have wide feet either. Materials are a little suspect at times, but these are really nice...need to track them down!
I picked up an early colourway, and I similarly found them to be tight. I put my shoe stretchers in them for a bit of extra space, but I still had to suffer through a break-in period. I love the style of the 550, though!
Been a OG sub since the kicks on court/nightwing2303 or in the kitchen reviews with the Jordan packs …. Keep up the good work you deserve it … I’m happy your wife joined you to make your grand even bigger than ever God bless you and your family
The suede versions have been at our local New Balance the last couple of times I've visited. So much better than the leather ones. I've tried these and the 650s on numerous times but the 650s are a much better fit for me. I also really like the Asics EX89, those are amazing.
This is the best and mpst neutral shoe review channel. They arent sucking up to any one brand. And definitely not afraid to call something a "piece of shit". Every insole😂. One of my favourite part when it comes to insole. 😅
I feel like the Adidas Forums did this too, where it's after the wave ended you can find better quality shoes. Seems like that's what's happening to the recent 550s, which is cool with me because I don't need to be trendy and it's an easy buy 🤷🏾♂️
So this video made me go back and check the colorways I have of these. reminded myself that I have 3 different versions: leather all the way around, leather with the suede on just the toe, and the leather/suede/mesh combination. the later seems to fit better. I get heel slip in the other 2
550 and 650 have become my go to. They look narrow but feels like more room and more comfortable than my Jordan 1s. I have a wide foot and go half size up. To me it feels like the recent Jordan 1s have gotten more narrow.
@@MizuMaloon sure have. I think Nike/jordan are gonna start making all their shoes women sizes to make it “universal”. I just see that more special editions like AMA’s have been in women’s sizes.
New Balance still continues to deliver good product ... even with the overseen 550. New Balance is literally the best brand of the moment while Nike continues to disrespect consumers with dog sh***. Thanks for the video
Not a fan of the 550 but excellent review as always. Think the non rehearsed method comes off better and it's more like a conversion versus a review. You get the discussion and then some shoe tech learning at the same time.
For me the 550 aren't uncomfortable during the break in period, just kinda stiff. Once they break in they're great. I like them a lot better than Dunks, honestly I'd say the Max force is more comfortable than the dunks
QOTD suggestion: if the multiverse is real, what happens in a reality where you two never meet working at the movie theater? Where do you each end up? It’s hard to imagine for me because I think you both contributed a lot to build your current life and this channel but I’d love to hear what you two think.
I'm glad you guys enjoyed the question! 😁 I'd insert the edit of the actress doing a fist pump (maybe Meryl Streep?) if we could use gifs on UA-cam to show my excitement. Looking forward to the next review!
Great reviews as always! How much did u enjoy the deadpool and wolverine movie? Without spoilers. When I watched it.. man it was amazing, I geeked out through the whole movie lmao
I always assumed the clips were not Chris. They seem on Brand for Jodi 😂 It's busy summertime for this photographer, so I have been SLACKING on comments.
The only sneaker channel where we come for the review and stay for the conversation! I'm really enjoying these types of QOTDs, where we get a deeper insight to you and Jodi's creative efforts in keeping us entertained and EDUCATED! 🫡
These🔥🔥 and the uppers' comfort fs improved with softer materials but still them midsoles are stiff af. I gave mine away, untill they make the steping comfort better when ima cop again. Outsole should stay but they should imcorporate fuel cell inside
You're doing a great job on the edits, Jodie. What was your grade on Chris' answers? I can just picture you making checkmarks behind the camera 😂😂😂. Great review.

Agreed I also commented on the other video that her editing is underrated
I love shoes, but I am not really into buying basketball shoes anytime soon. It is just fun watching this channel. Road to 1M.
Same! Let’s get that M 🎉
I’ve been able to pass on the 550 until now but darn it if Chris doesn’t find the gems and make them look so appealing
I blame Chris for all my shoe purchases nowadays 😂
@@Bdonlee15+1 😂
Jodi has brought so much to this channel and the dynamic between the two of you is so fun to watch.
7:44 yo the face Chris makes here is HILARIOUS, he stops mid sentence to be like “you could of answered this yourself”😂😂😂
come for the shoe reviews, stay for the commentary between you two. You two crack me up

The edits are great, always get a good laugh and smile 😂
I come for the banter (and the shoes). I really enjoy the fun positive energy of you two bring. Thank you and Keep it up! Let’s get 1M!
Triple black 550s been my work shoe for 2 years now lol super comfortable and looks awesome
Get him 1mil!
Yeaaaah!
Yes. Been watching since 2013ish. I do hope 1M subs happen soon!
Wooo

I love these shoes and all the color ways. Sadly I have flat wide feet so I can’t get my foot in them, so I just sit and admire them 🤣
😫

Great video and insight. I look forward to every vid and watch even if the shoe isn’t my thing. 👍🏻👍🏻
Same. All for the support. ❤
I definitely can tell that Mrs.Wing’s has mastered her editing skill over the 5years. Kudos to that.
You guys make such a good team, and I love the edits so much!
Love that this channel is coming around to more NB shoes
Bro you need to check up again on their Numeric Skateboarding line. They finally got their shit together and started putting out consistent collabs. The Numeric 480 303 Boards x Jeremy Fish pair and the newest Andrew Reynolds 480 in white leather are worth checking out.
I agree with you on the mesh making a big difference, especially for me with my EE width. 🙏🏾🎊😎
Grabbed these in this blue and the dark blue and red/organge. They are crazy nice in hand. Thought I was done with the 550s until I got these. 🔥🔥🔥 pair!
Love this channel! Much love from a Malaysian in Denmark
I was surprised by the quality of this one. Great review, as always.
I'm always curious as to what shoes don't get reviewed and why.
There’s only so many shoes we can afford & there’s only one Chris and one Jodi.
@WearTesters that makes perfect sense.
How is this channel not get 1mil subs is kinda mind boggling, if you a hooper and not following this channel you're missing out and even as the casual sneaker head. Chris knowledge about sneakers is need to be recognized more
My son and I love your channel! I'm not one to write comments, but it sounds like comments help your channel. Hope you hit 1 million soon!
Thanks! Tell your son we say hello!
@@WearTesters Awww! Thank you! You may not remember us, but we were the ones who set the Michael Scott "That's What She Said" t-shirt that was a little small fof Chris (sorry about that!). Wishing you all the best!
yes i love the behind the scenes question about your guys video/ thought process
Appreciate to chris, he was, whose most people believed, the advisor of chuck taylor while he was inventing his converse silhouette
Love your reviews. Good luck getting to 1 mil.
I love the 550! I don't have the same sizing issue you do and I don't have wide feet either. Materials are a little suspect at times, but these are really nice...need to track them down!

I love the style of the 550, though!
The 550 "sea salt" is so nice! It's a cream and black colorway and the leather is ridiculous. So soft.
the 550 and 650 are underrated, i also think that they fit okay for a wode footer. great behind the scenes question!
How about a studio tour video? I'd love to see how y'all store shoes, what the camera/lighting/microphone setup is, all of that!
Great review as always! Literally thought the toe box looked like Mac Attack and then you mentioned it!
Loved the New Balance 550s since they came out especially the ALD collabs and was and still is my daily drivers.

Saw these in store the other day and was also impressed with the quality and vintage touches
The suede versions have been at our local New Balance the last couple of times I've visited. So much better than the leather ones.
I've tried these and the 650s on numerous times but the 650s are a much better fit for me.
I also really like the Asics EX89, those are amazing.
didnt know they made 550s like that very neat
I know this kinda dumb, but the ALD 550's and 650's are for sure more inline with NB's usual quality and WAY more comfy.
This is the best and mpst neutral shoe review channel. They arent sucking up to any one brand. And definitely not afraid to call something a "piece of shit". Every insole😂. One of my favourite part when it comes to insole. 😅
been my favorite silhouette and kinda comfy. i wear them more than any of my jays

Let’s go guys! Get this channel 1mil!!!!
COOMMMMEEEENNNNT!
Look nice...like that's how shoes in the 80s really looked. ❤
One of the best channels, sneaker or otherwise!

Those 550’s are on my radar for some time. Just not sure of the fitting since I’m a wide footer.
Let’s get you to 1M subs!! 🎉
I’m a wide footer and I haven’t had any problems with it
@@colin9608 thank you for the info! Will definitely try it out once I get a chance.
These are 🔥! But the ALD version is still my fav!
The editor kicks ass!!!!!
If I don’t get my wear testers hit im lost! What happened to the podcast shows though. They were epic!
Here for the cutaways and combating the algos 🙌
I prefer the build and feel of the 550’s to the dunk lows. They just feel more sturdy. 🤘🏾
I think Mrs. Wing should join you at the end of video like back in the day, its cool to see you guys interact in person lol
Yeah the 550 is a really solid shoe and the colorways and materials have been improving over time.
For me the 550 aren't uncomfortable during the break in period, just kinda stiff. Once they break in they're great. I like them a lot better than Dunks, honestly I'd say the Max force is more comfortable than the dunks
Together your team is entertaining the way you bring everything together on each video. Hope this comment helps algorithm. Love love love
Love the 550 suede look and feel. These…meh, not so much. As always, great job Chris on the reviews!
I agree. This 550 is the best one so far.
These look so nice! I like the 550s, so these seem like a must!
Good materials or not, I just don’t like the silhouette. I’ll leave it for the next guy. Always enjoy watching your reviews 👍🏽
My sister brought me a white and red pair from Canada, here in Brazil they are crazy expensive, and they have been a daily since

i love this colorway , maybe because dark/navy blue is my favourite color, hope i can get this colorway
Came for the person, watched the video, literally will not wear the shoe ever, lol. Guess I am a fan.
Love the shoe, love the content, love Weartesters.
550 & 650 are both dope! Love them
The combination of cream and this shade of blue is noice
Every video is great no matter what the shoe!
These are 🔥. Ya'll should check out the 2023 grey day 550s.
Best channel on UA-cam.
Chris you should check out developer boring they run big but seriously worth the money for the craftsmanship for a hand made shoe!!!
Loving these!
We need the Jordan 17 Low UNC review when you get your hands on them !!!
Best sneaker content on UA-cam ❤
Great pickup. These got like the adidas Forum 84 in Blue 💙🔥
I CAN'T SPEAK FOR EVERYBODY, BUT I'M ABOUT SIMPLE, CLEAN SILOHETS NOW. I DID THAT SPACEY SHIT WAY BACK IN THE DAY.
I got the Marquette colorway and I love em. So I got a USA colorway and the leather is trash. I have wide feet also but these are comfortable to me
I have the Lakers colorway 550 ! Love the colors and the look. Wear them to the gym
I'm glad you guys enjoyed the question! 😁 I'd insert the edit of the actress doing a fist pump (maybe Meryl Streep?) if we could use gifs on UA-cam to show my excitement. Looking forward to the next review!
Love Mrs. Wing's edit 🎉
im surprised you guys dont get copyright issues with those little clips. ive had some things taken down for 1 second of outside videos or music
They’re used in accordance with fair use rules.
For me the 550 is NB's AF1. Not a fan of the design of the toe box though, looks a bit clunky to me. NB 9060 looks awesome in some colours.
New Balance needs to make more big sizes. Everytime i find something i like on the site theres no 11-13. Never even seen a 15.
Great video! Keep up the good work.

I got a all blue suede pair a month ago and I love em
Get that milli bro🎉

Jodi picked the question, answered the question with bullet points, and STILL made Chris answer😂 I cackled
I just scored some sneakers that nearly had the weartesters logo on the box. Gotta see what they were...maybe the gt hustle 2s
