I've only had one pair of NBs in my life and I regretted buying those -- the backstory on why that is will be for another time lol but those 550s are really clean 🔥 I'm hard to please when it comes to chunky silhouettes but this one is pretty nice/it still is form fitting in a way which I'm a fan of. Sorry to hear that the on-court performance wasn't that good, but that just means these will be for flexing only 👀 this also looks like a great pair to wear on St Patrick's Day next year lol
Nice video, I like how you tested them and shared your analysis upon performance. I actually thought of playing in these. Seems like you saved my ankles lol
Lol these sneakers definitely have a lot of hype lately, but yeah, they pretty much only serve as a good casual lifestyle sneakers , not for balling that’s for sure haha. Thanks for visiting and stopping by !🙏
The good old bathroom cop. I like the hustle man lol. Damn those creases after 2 days. I'd be stiff walking in those all the time . I love the retro look too there's just something about the 90's that I can't shake. The fashion, music and culture is just second to none.
I just balled in mine, I love em, lace em up tight and I was driving making moves comfortably. Might upgrade the insole. Definitely figure out if you should go true to size or down a half size. I went true to size with minimal slipping but once I laced them up tighter throughout the whole lacing my lock down was secure. Definitely a perfect casual shoe who can definitely hoop in, with durability outside
Can’t wait to mold it to my foot for its best fit. I got a general release mint green and I ordered a thisisneverthat dark green canvas collab joints of the 550, might save that for the HS alumni tournament
@@jef_freely that dark green pair looks fire, I’m sure it’ll look dope on court. Surprised you can tolerate playing in these though, I can only wear them casually haha
How much height do these give or what’s the measurement of the sole? I’m assuming these are similar to AF1’s or dunks. Awesome review btw this is by far the best I’ve seen on these shoes!!
These NB give you just about 1 inch height from the outsole, and they resemble closer to dunks, but not as thick as the AF1. Hope that helps , thanks a lot for the feedback ! 🙏
Right when I saw new balance I knew that they wouldn't be good for basketball. They got a way to go before they create a good basketball sneaker lol. I like the effort though. P.S. I never thought New Balance sneakers were comfortable.
I been on the new balance train ever since Kawhi Leonard joined as an ambassador haha, he’s one of my favorite players, and NB is also slowly getting more popular in streetwear culture. Do none of your kids rock with the NB? 😂
It’s the Aime Leon Dore x New Balnce collab from last year . I made a video on it sometime ago, but it’s definitely one of my favorite hoodies haha. Thanks for the comment !
Ayeee appreciate the shoutout bro! Even bigger fun fact - Hibbett prematurely dropped these, so we both got them early before their full-on release date 🙌 Such a dope pair, love your take on them. The performance aspect you touched on is something most reviewers won’t do. Keep up the good content 🔥
Yeah I been seeing on sites and forums that they will be officially releasing later this week haha, appreciate the help for the early cop bro! 🙏. Hope you also noticed my filming style for this video 😏
Gotta get them a half size down like some Forces or 1s so they don’t crease but I’m definitely adding more to the collection. Got the ALDs and I agree the nostalgia effect you get from these is so real 🔥
Yeah bro, they crease a good amount, so maybe your sizing recommendations might work out 👍 wish I had the ALDs, but hopefully one day! Appreciate your comment bro 🙏
not sure if i can make that anytime soon, but some quick ideas: basketball / athletic shorts with a 7 inch inseam with white crew socks is my favorite look with these :)
they are planning to release in the US on June 24th, but I am not aware of any EU releases yet. i will keep an eye out! sorry for late reply, just got this comment for some reason
Tried to cop from SNIPES.. but they "sold out" immediately. Bots for the win smh lol.. If it werent for the ALD drop no one would even be checking for the 550s. Guaranteed NONE of the people copping this shoe even remember this model, or any of the other NB bball models from the mid late 80 / early 90s lol
I feel you... ngl I hopped onto the 550s since ALD haha. Struck out on those of course, but I got really lucky on these. Bots suck for sure 👎 hopefully the hype dies down on them eventually

no other youtube would attempt to hoop 🤝 respect bro i’m laughing
Haha, they definitely look great on feet, but performance-wise they’re definitely a pass. appreciate you for stopping by bro 🙏
@@kickitwithdang for sure! I got the purple ones in today
Blaise Bachman nice pick up 👍🔥 enjoy !
For me this is a really good hoop shoe, I have the black joints with the gum bottom, I played about 9 games in them and they performed great

Yeah these are super clean! That green is really popping off 🔥🔥 top review bro 🙏🏻
New Balance has definitely come a long ways man and it was dope to see you not only review the shoe but be on the court as well !
These are clean, i like the grey part on the toebox.. 🔥🙌🏽 dope video bro!
Appreciate it bro! 🙏 thx for stopping by the channel, I see you on the come up 👀
@kickitwithdang .. did u try the 650 hi tops??? I like the hi tops way better than the 550's... I own both though, the 550's and the 650's

Absolutely, I’m a sucker for anything 90s fashion related haha. I guess that means we’re getting old 🤷♂️

Wow this sneaker is pretty sick! Thank you for sharing Dang!
Does 550 spike? Spike test...

Yo, that's a sick hoodie, where did you get it?
Thanks bro! It’s an Aime Leon Dore x NB collab from a few years ago . One of my favorites 👍
great video, i'll might cop these
Thanks man! Definitely a cool sneaker if you can cop for retail 👍
Shame the performance is so poor. But great, in-depth review!
they look awesome
They look dope 💪🏼
Appreciate you bro 💪
hey where'd you get the hoodie? it looks dope

@@kickitwithdang Hahaha I did actually. Love it bro ✊
I want this color way!! Reminds me of Larry Bird!!!!! My uncle looks like Larry Bird! 👌🏼
I love the green on this too; definitely a great sneaker to represent the Celtics 🍀 thanks for visiting!
About the sizing. I’m 9.5 in old school vans, so should I go tts?
Yes I am also 9.5 old Skool vans, and 9.5 NB550, so yes 👍
Is this shoe heavy or light ?
Gotta get them a half size down like some Forces or 1s so they don’t crease but I’m definitely adding more to the collection. Got the ALDs and I agree the nostalgia effect you get from these is so real 🔥
Yeah bro, they crease a good amount, so maybe your sizing recommendations might work out 👍 wish I had the ALDs, but hopefully one day! Appreciate your comment bro 🙏
Idk that 2 day use ic made me think again. I don’t like that.
are they really loud when walking?
The soles are more on the thick and firm side , so yes they may clump a bit on the ground
Lmao my ankles would be shattered wearing these. It’s no ankle support.
Could you do an outfit video???
not sure if i can make that anytime soon, but some quick ideas: basketball / athletic shorts with a 7 inch inseam with white crew socks is my favorite look with these :)
does it release in eu(germany) or only in us?
they are planning to release in the US on June 24th, but I am not aware of any EU releases yet. i will keep an eye out! sorry for late reply, just got this comment for some reason
@@kickitwithdang ty for the info :)
my size is 8,5 so what size of these should i go with?
TTS should work for the most part

@@kickitwithdang it will.. i hope they release the rest of the old bball models too like the 700s, 515s and the 490s
Where u get yr white socks?
i actually made a video on all the different white socks that i wear here: th-cam.com/video/jQbqczQQOfU/w-d-xo.html , hopefully this helps!
This is not ALD this is GR version.
Can you skate in these shoes ?
I think so. I don’t skate, but the soles have decent grip, and are somewhat flat like Nike SBs and other skate shoes I’ve seen haha
@@kickitwithdang thank you haha
SUM 17 😂 my bad for late reply, but hope that helps lol
@@kickitwithdang no worries and yeah it helped
What’s your height?
5’ 8”, or 173cm
@@kickitwithdang I usually were a 8 and my feet is around 26cm, do you think a size 9 is too big?
Rein Restrivera yes I think that would be too big. True to size is your best bet in my opinion
w2c green shorts
Mitchell&Ness Celtics colorway. Thanks for stopping by !
