Their community is the same as kith lol. The same dudes that were rocking mercer pants for profile pictures in the back area of kith/atrium are now posing for pictures outside ALD. Both brands cater to the same demographic with similar product ranges and prices, with similar company origin stories. I'm not mad at you liking kith, your reasons for feeling that way are different from the reasons I dislike them. I disagree with your comment about everyone being narcissistic.

As far as NY based clothing brands go, I'm an only NY fan. Been wearing em for like half my life now. Retail prices have gotten absurd the last few years but enough of their stuff goes on sale (peep their warehouse sale) that I've almost never paid retail for anything from em. They make a lot of unbranded, good quality clothing and have partnerships with NYC agencies and licenses to use their designs. A decent amount of their products are still made in the USA as well, although not as much as it used to be. Even so they've gotten cornier, too. The collab with blank street had me sick.

Same audience, though Kith feels more fun (collabs, projects etc). ALD is more wanna be high end. I get it. I like some of their stuff still though. Only is cool, I like their MTA collab, NYC pakrs etc.
 
These are nice from Kith but nothing spectacular IMO. If you're from the 998 era you have GR's on this level at least and you probably got them on sale. If you never owned a 998 this is a solid pair for sure but man IMHO you missed a golden age for New Balance. Hopefully we get good 998 GR's this year I could care less about collaborations.

this and bring back the 998 NB1
 
I like the new phantom black 580s but how y'all feel you like them better than the purple stray rats pair or about the same.
 
Not sure what ima do with this pair I purchased off eBay. Seller is in Japan & pics show unlaced DS pair.

They arrived today & already they are diff . The laces have been laced up, which to me means they could have been tried on to worn. Either way the pic in the auction is diff shoe.
Not sure if they are legit, seller included a JP NB receipt, but can’t be sure without doing DD.
