What size Hemi?Nova Hemi
If you really like the silhouette, then you should buy the shoes. I don’t think you’ll be happy with an alternative, just go in knowing the quality isn’t great.yea would be good to know, and suggestions on similar siloutte alternative would be appreciated also!
Not to derail this thread any further, but New Balance is going to release a ton of CWs of the 550 so if you're gung-ho on paying resale for a pair of the ALDs, just hang tight.
These will probably have even worse leather?
Not possible. The leather on the ALD 550s was as bad as it gets. Think the worst quality leather AF1s you've ever handled, but worse.
XL. I’m 6’0 200# for reference. I think I can get away with a large though.What size Hemi?
any suggestions on similar silouttes?

@barrettdudley bought and sold a pair. You can ask him his thoughts as well. He said they looked like golf shoes and now that’s all I see when I look at them.

I don't get the hate on the ALD 550s lol, it's a $130 retail shoe - quality seems completely fine to me. I got 2x Red, 2x Navy and 1x Grey on release and don't have any complaints.
No wonder you are defending them. You have 5 pairs lol.
Oh - I should clarify though, only one was for me lol. I kept one red pair for myself, the other red and 2x navy went to friends, and the last grey I flipped.
Only photo I have of mine with JE, but here’s them with Sahara Cast 2. I wouldn’t pay $300 for them, but for retail I like them.
