How would you size the ald nb? Been pondering whether I should pay resell for these but have never worn nb in my life. How do they compare to the likes of jordans, Stan smiths, common projects?

Own a few NB shoes and can definitely say they're worth trying - great materials and unique designs!

For the 550, i find its a little bigger than the stan smith or jordan 4 / jordan 11 in my TTS. That being said, I don't think I can go down a half size so my solution is just to wear thicker socks and it works great.

I got my grey pair in TTS, it was a bit too roomy. I traded it for 1/2 down (same size as I always go with miUSA NB's). I have a red pair in 1/2 down that is honestly a bit snug though, could have done TTS. Probably just sizing variations. In any case - either fit is ok IMO. I also don't like lacing my shoes too tighht, so I prefer a snug fit off the jump.

I would even hit that $800 bid before it disappears. These are NBs for fk-sake.

I actually can’t sell on StockX over $800 without paying crazy luxury import duties haha. Canadian problems. Need to go the private seller route. Anyways, there are multiple sales on these for high prices, I’m not in a rush.
