like 99% of the colorways of the 550 are fire, even the most basic colorways look good because of the way they do the color blocking on the shoe. NB struck gold with these
I LOVE how they look with jeans and tight bottom sweatpants. Idk what it is but I think showing a little bit of sock with the shoe and being able to actually see the top makes it look so much better
thank you for bringing this to my attention, this model looks great and i work as a food delivery boy and i walk a TON daily so i have to get a pair soon, the syracuse ones look great in my opinion
@@JoshDominic yeah that’s the one i have my eyes on, i also love your content, one of my faves for sneaker content, thank you for making my days brighter with your videos
Love the 550, such a great silhouette, but hate that they don't make my size (UK12/US12.5.) TTS at US13 has too much heel slip, and full size down at US12 is too tight. Wish New Balance didn't hate us big footers so much.
@@falveys2164 Depends on the width of your foot. Im also a true 13.5. I got a 13, and mann my toes were crushed length wise and the toe box was tooo tight.
I saw a tiktok of the green ALD 550s and I HAD TO cop immediately. Had to pay resale unfortunately and it was WAY more than retail. I picked my size of 11.5 and at first there was some heel slippage but then after a couple of wears there’s no more slippage and they fit perfectly! Once they restocked once more (after the initial October 2020 release) I copped the grey ALD 550s :)
I cop the green ALD pair and i go true to size, and yes the sizing is a bit weird. Feel a bit of heel slippage too but feel much better when i tie the shoe to the last eyelet
I play baseball and I have a pair of New Balance cleats, and they are very comfortable and breathable. I will be getting a pair of these in a few weeks, I can imagine they feel the same as my cleats
@@windows4688 on the off chance that your not trolling, losing weight doesn't change wide footed people. You're confusing wide with fat feet. I'll use myself as an example I workout regularly, and between 15-18% bf I still have wide feet.
I hate the sizing on these. Usually I am the same size in most NB shoes, and I go half a size up from my regular size (EU 42/US 9/ UK 8), to 42.5/US 9.5, but due to the retro style, and shape/fit of the shoe, which is quite narrow, tight, and short, even going EU 9.5 in these, still a bit uncomfortable and especially at the heel where I couldn’t even get a finger in. I tried a full size EU43/US 10, and even though more comfortable too much heel slippage even if laced up tight, and unfortunately my 2nd pair was either fake or very faulty due to so much defects on the shoe compared to the 1st pair. Ironically the 1st pair which had no defects except a supposed burn mark in the side mesh panel, or some spot that doesn’t go away even using a makeup wipe, so kept those… I’d get that in a 43, but sold out across the board.
Maybe it was just me, but I ordered a half size down. They fit really snug out of the box but after a few wears they're perfect. Anybody else feel the same? I don't have a wide foot.
For UK guys go by US or EU sizing only. Don’t know why NB do the UK size 0.5 out from the US sizing. Nike and most others brands are 1 size difference from US sizing. I just have to tell myself each time for Nike I’m UK9.5 and NB I’m UK10.
I call these the “Baki” shoes lol… he wore these in an episode from way back in the original anime. Super clean. If you don’t know what Baki is, search it up on RUclips lmao
how are these for wide feet? I have a wide foot so when I go true to size in nike dunk sb's they are tight around the bridge of my foot. I'm wondering if these are the same or not
I Got a 550 aime Leon white/grey and I copped true to size but it’s a little uncomfortable. Feel like it’s too small. I can fit in a 8,5 on all my other sneaks but these feels too snug even at size 9 us size.
Without the hype I would choose the adidas forum or an Air Force 1 over these the toe box is pretty horrible but I do like the rest of the silhouette and they do some dope colours but it’s still not enough for me personally.
I've seen alot of reviews saying these are super uncomfortable and that they hurt your feet, is this true because I've been wanting these but idk now because of these comments.
I had to go half size up because my tall ass foot and the toe box tightness were not getting along, I havent experimented too much, but there was some heel slippage almost every step in the half size up, I will try tightening down the laces and see if it helps. Sucks TTS didnt work for me, I had already bought my tts in the UNC colorway then realized they werent gonna work, luckily I was able to size swap after trying on half size up!
even i got this for my true size is 9.5 but the wide of the shoe is really tight that make me feel uncomfortable. Should I change to size 10 ? is the wide size got a little bit bigger ?
I really wanted a pair for so long, held off from buying online and went to try some on, they’re not comfortable, not sure why anyone thinks so, they literally have no support from the inside on the side sole

Haha for sure
@Azell get true to size
i do 16 hour shifts in a hospital with these and they never hurt my feet they are comfy af!

Very informative about the all around quality and comfort of the shoe.I definitely plan to cop, so I'm very appreciative for the sizing info👍🏽
Thanks for comparing the sizing with Dunks and Jordans! Makes it easier for me to check sizes. Please do a sizing video for the 650s 😬

Yea the 550s do have a weird fit, heel slippage seems to be an issue in all sizes
Do you have wide feets or narrow feets, because i have narrow ones and also need us12,5 normally?
The exact problem I had. Had to get rid of my ALD pair because of the heel slip and I was looking forward to wearing them
Hey man I’m a 13.5 do you reckon they’d fit well? I’ve been wanting some for agers but didn’t want to buy just incase they didn’t fit
@@falveys2164 Depends on the width of your foot. Im also a true 13.5. I got a 13, and mann my toes were crushed length wise and the toe box was tooo tight.

@@Tito-tn4ds I believe they were $130
What size do u usually wear ? Got a 11.5 but wear a 11
My 550s just came in I love ‘em man the pine green color way is so nice
I appreciate what you do JD much love and respect from Saudi.
Honestly the best review I’ve seen on these trainers, thank you man!
your new balance collection is immaculate

How was it? Are they comfortable?
Would of been nice to have a wide option for this shoe, we always seem to be left out of popular drops like this.

Thank you for the size comparison, looking to purchase mine but I didn't know what size to go with
Bought the 550 arctic grey suede. Always wear it
Great guide! I got TTS in these and fits just a tad long but more comfortable than 0.5 down for me.
Dope video man ik this off topic but I love your tones in your videos. Where can I just listen to them at?
You mean the beats ?
@@JoshDominic yes
js copped some black & white 550s for back to school
defintely want to get one now now that I saw someone wearing it a while back!!! hope they restock on it :(
Good review.
that pluggnb beat is absolutely insane
just got a green white pair off goat… they’re so fire
This gonna be my summer shoe pick up, gon be fire with crew socks and above the knee gym/sweat shorts and boxy shirts
I usually have EU44/us10 but had to drop down half a size to 43/9.5 and recommend it highly. My buddy also had to drop down half a size
I wear Chuck Taylor's UK7. What size should I go for?
thanks bro, that relly helped
@@asterisk1314 you should for for a size 6.5 UK
Damn how? I have 44 too and its too tight for Me. I also tried 44,5 and that was loose lol, so I think Im gonna send both sizes back 😢
Really want a pair of ALD 550 .. but prices are crazy right now
I feel like they gonna restock again
@@JoshDominic they restock the aime leon dore ones? That would be awesome!
Footlocker has these shoes for 100$ now
550s + jorts +cropped tee is always a good fit
Got some coming!

get a size up if you want them, they fit quite tight
Maybe it was just me, but I ordered a half size down. They fit really snug out of the box but after a few wears they're perfect. Anybody else feel the same? I don't have a wide foot.
I had to get mine half a size bigger bc the price was like $100+ for my size but yes I love these shoes
I agree it was snug but after 2-3 wears & shoe trees it fits nice, I’m a 8.5-9 got a 8.5 and they fit snug at first but now fit good
@azellbmwhat size did u get gangatron 🙏
Will the aime leon dore ones restock?
My guy got that mexikodro beat 🔥
7:10 where did you get those brown pants?
Dope shoe sir👍 is this for basketball? Thank you and God bless😊
Every new balance shoe I’ve EVER tried on has too much heel slip, which bums me out because I love their styles… wish they would take notes.

Yea it’s true the UK sizing on NB is pretty confusing
I’m size 7/7.5 in womens what size would you recommend?
wait what, I'm a size 9UK so what do i order?
yo whats that background song it goes crazy i luv pluggnb
Got a pair today UNC
Bought my pair last month for $49.99 at Marshalls.
Are you guys talking about US true to size or UK true to size
Just got mine yesterday Yeah the first thing i don't like about it is the heel slippage and narrow to toe.
Is they good for the gym?
Sir, what did you mean when said about a better leather? What is your verdict was based on?
Been a long time fan, where can I find this specific track? The description only lists the artist but I can't find the specific song
What is the grey model at the upper right corner?

Hi Josh! Are you familiar with the BB550 (Black and White) version. Is it pretty much the same sneaker?
Instant like for pluggnb
Do the ALD 550’s fit the same as the Gr pairs of 550’s?
Yeeeee JD
I want the green ones so bad 😫 n the crème ones

I’m size 8.5 US should I go true to size or should I get a size 9?
how are these for wide feet? I have a wide foot so when I go true to size in nike dunk sb's they are tight around the bridge of my foot. I'm wondering if these are the same or not
Can I wear this with jeans? As A Casual everyday
I Got a 550 aime Leon white/grey and I copped true to size but it’s a little uncomfortable. Feel like it’s too small. I can fit in a 8,5 on all my other sneaks but these feels too snug even at size 9 us size.
I’m normally a size 10 should I go down to a 9.5 ?
im wear size 8 at adidas forums and adidas superstar what size would be recommend?
In Air Force 1 I wear a
size 11, will the shoe fit me?
omgg im so sad in Aus theres little availability and idk where to buy so the retail price is around $550
I have wider feet so I went 1/2 size bigger. This shoes is slightly narrower than the regular dunks.
Without the hype I would choose the adidas forum or an Air Force 1 over these the toe box is pretty horrible but I do like the rest of the silhouette and they do some dope colours but it’s still not enough for me personally.
Yea I’m surprised how many people hate the toe cap, it’s not that Bad
I buy for style and comfort but the forces been killin my feet I’m hoping these are not comfortable
was planning to buy it online, and the only shoes I have for a close comparison is the adidas continental 80, is it an okay comparison? thanks!
I have a foot of 25.5 cm, what size will suit me?
How much height does it add to you due to the heel height?
How are The size compared to Air Force 1?
If I am a womens 7.5 or 8 narrow foot- does anyone have a recommendation 5.5 or 6 men?
Have you already decided on the size? Can you tell me how many cm is your foot?
I wear US9 990 v5, what should I get for this?????????

I wear size 46 what size should i get?
Got them green ones
how do these fit in comparison to 574s
Everyone loves these new balance but there are a bunch of other cool ones too
I personally half sized up, toe box is quite tight. Anyone with wide feet should half size up unless you don't mind your ties being crushed lol
Hi bro when you size up how much space do you have at the front of the shoe? Half thumb or one thumb space?
Fitment 5:10
even i got this for my true size is 9.5 but the wide of the shoe is really tight that make me feel uncomfortable. Should I change to size 10 ? is the wide size got a little bit bigger ?
Question how do the 992 fit compared to like Jordan 1s and the 2002r’s? I want to buy the new balance paperboys but not sure what size to get
i wear 9.5usa on the 2002r and a pair of jound 992s. i’d say they fit true to size.
