    Ive been using my rich paul 550s almost everyday for the past year or so (whenever they dropped). And they’ve aged beautifully. The leather has more of a wrinkle type aging process as opposed to my vast grey dunks that i used for a wedding 2 weeks ago and warped like crazy💀

    Hope this finds you well

  • @Nanijoe10
    @Nanijoe10 Год назад +34

    Knew it was better leather, but surprised it wasn't by much. I think it's cause the construction of the sneaker is just so top-tier, it was hard to believe otherwise. Great review though. Hope one day NB decides to make a Made in US version of the 550 so we could compare GR, collabs and MADE versions of the sneaker.

    There was a real popular sneaker in the 90’s called Assassins, they had a lot of great features, looked real sharp, and we’re popular with the dad crowd. They retailed for $150 back in ‘92, maybe you could get a pair of those and cut them in half next.

    Dope vid. I have the green and brown ALD 550s, and the green, red, and green/cream 650s and all are soooo good. I tried buying a GR 550 and they were SO bad and actually so narrow I couldn't wear them and returned em. The ALD is wider and way more comfortable. And the leather is way better... Especially the first pack.

  • @amosaft7060

    from the drawing it doesnt look like tucking the upper a little under the board actually does anything at all, as the upper is not stitched to anything inside other than to the outsole. in fact, with strobel the construction seems more appropriate as it provides both flexibility and additional stitching inside (to the "sock") ?

    I don’t know, the coating on these shoes seem completely different to me. The regular version bubble up and melted while the lad doesn’t, it just burn and turn to brown dust. You mentioned before that leather that burn like this have a heavy pigment of top instead of heavy plastic, which make sense since they are completely softer

    Preston you know that the real reason that people pay these prices and more for ALD is because of the exclusivity in the name, and bragging rights.

Portugal shoe quality is on the same level of italian and spanish dress shoes, we use very high quality leather and our shoes are all handmade and well crafted. As a portuguese it really frustrates me how underrated our shoes are compared to our european neighbours, when we have really high quality with mostly fair prices.

    I recently looked at Reebok Classics and K-Swiss Classics. I never had the Reeboks but was a big fan of the K-Swiss. I owned many pairs of them back in the late'80s and early '90s. The originals of both were nice shoes with soft leather. The modern variants are horrid. The leather was as cheap looking and feeling as could be and the shoes were so stiff I can't imagine how uncomfortable they would be.

    To any sponsors out there: I actually watch Rose Anvil promos. Sometimes due to interest, sometimes just to support RA.

    For the ALDs, the slight difference in looks & material for the price diff is more on the NOT worth it side, imho.
    Especially the price drop from $130. to $49. for the regulars.
