Its not really leather damage, its the plastic coating getting scratched. They use a really shitty suede and then coat the shit out of it with plastic, to make it look good.
I see 1Q84 at the back! Good book choice! Murakami’s books are pretty solid. Very informative review about the 550s. The marks you talk about also happen in my Common Projects sneakers.
to be fair, the original 550's don't even have the ortholite insoles. so we're pretty lucky to have the comfort for at least 2-3 wears 😂 and it's an old shoe, people shouldn't be surprised about the cushioning anymore.
Not to mention the construction of the shoe resembles of a boot because it has hoarding stitched to from the bottom of the shoe, outsole to midsole. Shoe going to be more durable in terms of the outsole and midsole area.
It’s marketed as a lifestyle vintage retro shoe from the 80’s - 90’s so of course the tech is old with the rubber cup sole instead of a plushy abzorb or fresh foam tech.
hey man, great review! I’ve been eyeing the 550s for a minute and this just confirmed that I should go for it. quick question though, where did you get yours from? I’m just starting to get into collecting sneakers and I’m not sure which websites I should purchase from. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thank you in advance bro!

For the leather damage, there's this putty they're using on j1 to refresh the toebox from creases.
I gotta look into that, thanks for the shoutout

@@MrCrunch808I too watch rose anvil
i dont know about other people but the creasing adds to aesthetic of wearing a good sneaker imo
A good quality white acrylic fabric paint and a tiny paint brush would be a good quick fix just for touching up small scratches.
Love the wear updates!
The boy is back! Great review man
Thank you!

I just bought the suede version of 550. im so excited to have it.
Paint over the scratches with white angelus paint so it blend in
Do you know if the general release pairs are the same as the ALD pairs as far as quality of materials goes?
I’m sorry I’m not sure, I don’t own any of the GR pairs
Same shoe just slightly better leather and material but nothing too crazy from the general release ones.

No I would not recommend using the 550 as a running shoe at all
Thanks so much!!
Are 550s good for winter?
I wore them through 2 winters in Boston and they've been pretty great
How they fit? Are they tts?
If you have a wide foot yes go TTS but otherwise go half size down
Do they add much in height?
Kinda but not much
@@Zackuragi10 tnx

1 year is nothing for good shoes
This one just isn't good
