Launching as part of a collaborative two-piece pack, the Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance 550 ‘True Brown’ updates the retro ‘80s hoops shoe with a revamped build. The upper replaces traditional leather construction with a cream-colored canvas base, contrasted by hairy suede overlays in a neutral brown finish. Mismatched heel graphics feature ALD and NB logos on the left and right shoe, respectively, while dual branding appears on the woven tongue tag. Underpinning the sneaker is a rubber cupsole, highlighted by aged sidewalls and a cushy foam core.

Super nice. Love all of the layering and stitching in this Classic basketball shoe. The insole is very comfortable. The build quality and material quality is excellent.These shoes are interesting in that they look absolutely great with jeans, but don't fit my taste so much with shorts. So good for colder weather. Also note that they run a little bit on the narrow side. I have slightly wide feet and it's not a problem, but they are more form-fitting than roomy.

Awesome purchase! I love the neutral color so they go with every outfit I wear and they’re fairly comfortable. The leather is a little stiff but I think they’ll become more comfortable once I break them in. Also, they are a little narrow so I would not recommend these to anyone with wide feet.

this shoe is purtyyy. the size is 100% accurate when it comes to MEASURING, but i strongly recommend when CHOOSING A SIZE, sizing down 0.5 as it says already on the shopping page. they are not lying. i did that and they fit perfectly! with socks too. but yes, u need to definitely get this!

The cushion was nice but after 30 min the top of the shoe right above my toe was hurting so much! I had just arrived to Disneyland for my Birthday 😫 and I was limping all day! I was in excruciating pain. I’ll rather stick to Balenciagas they are soft and are sox hugging your feet.
Decent traction for court play. Shoe length is OK. Upper material is super stiff; it took several hours of use to break in. Not like modern mesh materials. Toe box is much narrower than normal sport shoes. If you’re on the border between standard and wide, this is one style to definitely get the wide size if available.
I ordered this pair and one other. Both pairs arrived with damages/defects. When I called customer service I was told the only thing that could be done was to return them. They would not give me a replacement pair or provide any other accommodations. I used to buy new balance for the quality of the sneakers but this experience has made me think otherwise
I’m giving these 3 stars because I initially ordered a size 8.5 in Women’s which is normally my size but once I received them and tried them on they fit me way too big so I returned them and ordered a size 8. After receiving my second pair (size 8) they still fit me pretty big but I’m honestly not even going to bother to return them a second time. Other than that the shoes are pretty great, I like them.
The style is great but the fit is horrible. The toe box is the correct size for my foot, and my standard New Balance sizing, but my heels slip out of the back no matter how tight I tie them. The sales associate said this happens is a common complaint.
As others have shown/said, the color is not as shown in the pictures... Interesting too, online the colorway is "Warm sand with afterglow." On the side of the box the colorway is "BROWN WHITE." They are still swaggy but the product looks faintly pink in the pictures online, which is completely different than reality. Also, these are just lowkey suede, they're not super fuzzy like the pictures make them out to be.Prettt hilarious that this product is not returnable, considering they have misrepresented what that product actually is.They come laced in white, but +1 for the extra laces in the box, one is a cream color and the other matches the shoes. Im definately dissapointed with NB for this one, on what is my first NB / ALD purchase. They're still swaggy though.
these sneakers are cute everyday shoes that are neutral and can go with any outfit. they are very comfortable and cushioned on the inside. I don’t have wide feet however, i find these to be a little bit narrow but it’s not too much of an issue. I originally ordered a size 7 but had to exchange for a 6.5 because they were too big. Overall, cute shoes.
