  • Hey everyone, a quick heads up - I haven't bought a sneaker in 4 months and just got my hands on the New Balance Aimé Leon Dore BB 650 RG1 release. I've been looking forward to this shoe and I have to say, I'm really disappointed. In this sneaker review, I share my first impressions of the shoe and how it stacks up against my other picks.
    If you're looking for a sneaker to add to your collection, you might want to skip over the Aimé Leon Dore BB 650 RG1. In terms of craftsmanship and materials I think it's a really disappointing release from New Balance that falls short of many of their other shoes.

    nothing wrong with venting your frustration. everyone wants a quality experience for their money. especially at full price. like you said, it's just a shoe so doesn't matter much. but still annoying. and one being longer... thats crazy to me.

      thank you! I've had it a couple of times that shoes are slightly different lengths. Then again, I'm super nerdy and other people probably wouldn't either notice or care haha

      Thanks for the heads-up! No in fact not everything is going smoothly, more a rollercoaster but challenges are made to be conquered 😉

    that sucks to hear brother . yes these are close to the aj 4 sb both done what a year and half to 2 years out before they actually released. crazy to see that so close in everything both release around same time great alternative for anyone wanting this colorway. that mesh is a sick touch. love that it helps with the breathability . i know about the thin cut of leather like yeah it's full grain but really come on . great to see you brother. Naimm picked up the UNC colorway of these its a great summer sneaker ✊️🙏

      Thanks man! This was a pair that really perked my interest and without the different lengths and creasy toebox I may have kept them. The colorway and details are really sick, I'm glad Naimm got a pair that's working for him!

    Disappointing - I feel you, but as you said, on to the next! Always great to hear some honesty 👌🏽

    Im sorry to hear that bro. The colorway on these look clean, def remind me of SB4s.

      Absolutely, if they ever go on sale I might grab them again but for now I'm happy with the one 650 I already got

    Thank you for posting this. I have wanted to buy a new pair of NB since my first pair of 990 v5s. But being in Europe i didnt want to have to go back nack and forth with shipping and sizing for returns. I think i will skip these and search for another winter or summer shoe. (I also love this touch of green)

    • @HighlyAkicktive
      @HighlyAkicktive  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      NB ships from Europe and return is free. They're not bad when you get a decent pair, but they're not 170€ good 😊

      @@HighlyAkicktive thank you for the response. They still look nice. I recently found some 2002R with Gore Tex at an outlet and am happy with those. However the green 650s still look. 🔥

    Have a look at the Asics EX89 1201A476-107-WHT underrated model!
