ALD has been moving away from retailers. Outside of the 550s, did any retailer even get any stock this season?

would you consider carrying ALD at NMWA?
Never really thought about it this way. The lack of transparency would bother me more as a retailer than as an occasional consumer. I just don't know it would fulfill the promise we make to our shoppers when they shop with us.

My understanding is retailers wont be getting SS21 or FW21 aside from NB collab sneakers

Nb makes some of the most comfortable shoes ever. Although, I'm not super happy with the feel of the 550 specifically (I could have gone up .5 like other people mentioned here). Once the cushioned insole collapses a bit it should fit perfectly though.

Nb has been trending for the last couple of years also, and in turn because Teddy had brought this silhouette back with great success he has become the creative director (?) of New Balance from next year. I assume that the 550 was a major part in him being hired. The general releases seem to be selling out instantly as well, although the colour choices do not come close to the aesthetic ALD applies to the shoe.
Idk... the yellow 550 that released couple weeks ago is really nice. the non ALD versions don't have that pre-aged look, but some of the colorways are still good

the multicolor released today are also pretty good.

18 east and Kapital have done off white/cream painters pants. For 18 east you can call the store and see if they have it or check gr@iled or EBay.

Kapital you could proxy from their webstore unless you find a store that sells it.

Dickies pants are too wide for my thin frame and Stan Ray's pants are more of a white than a cream/off white colour
Dickies + tailoring ?

these are off white, no?

I tailored some Carhartt single knee WIPs before and while they look good I'd prefer something that fits well off the rack. Always find tailoring / tapering never looks as good for these sorts of pants
