Official New Balance Thread *sizing info for different models on first page*

550s honestly remind me of NBs version of the early Jordan models 1-3. Similar simple aesthetic.

ALD being tied to them obviously helped too.

All those 550s are going to be under retail on eBay in a few years

NB consumer patience can’t wait that long

 

[therefill]

no, miAsia

Hm, but don't MiAsia pairs fit smaller than MiUSA pairs?

Hope ur right

 

[GKOmega]

Glad more 550s coming. Would hate to pay extra for sizing not to fit - haven’t worn model before

didn't buy anything.

 

[syndicatepoogie]

Same size as 992. Hm, so that means typical NB size then?
2002Rs are MiUSA?

I thought MiAsia pairs ran smaller than MiUSA

Those 996 are stupid fire. Love when brands are able to stray from the norm and still have a story attached.

They do, but not enough for me to warrant going half size up. The upper is flexible and I believe they will break in well. In contrast, I also have a lot of 801s, and for those I def go to a size 10 because the upper is very stiff, and cramped in the toe box

 

[syndicatepoogie]

I know a ton more of these posts are incoming so I’ll just get this out of the way. I won’t post these again until the other the other members of Voltron arrive. Also be weary, they do seem to be half cm longer in length. I took a few comparison shots to the CT1500.

Would that mean that they fit slightly smaller?

In my experience, yes, typically that's true - but I can't say for sure about the 2002r because I don't own a pair. However I know a few NTers have them, like S syndicatepoogie and flintgrey . Perhaps they can weigh in on sizing

EDIT: I missed it, poogie has already spoken

 

[sssstan]

sizing with NB is honestly the most difficult thing to explain to people since everyone’s feet is different

i honestly go TTS with most NB models and they fit perfect. some go half down for a bit more snug feel but honestly i rarely find it necessary to go up half a size

as for the 2002R, i went my TTS 9 that i would typically go on all my shoes across various brands and the fit is great. don’t think they fit small/snug at all

 

[illdevised]

My 992 infinity gauntlet is nearly complete. The M992GR still eludes me mattyk wya

They fit TTS...if anything a tad snug in toe box.

 

[itsbeenlikethatforaminute]

ALD 550 fits 1/2 size big FYI.

 

[therefill]

I want to avoid using the term TTS since it seems people determine their TTS differently. So how does it compare to other NBs? I half size down from my usual size that I wear for other sneakers (8 in most sneakers but 7.5 for NBs).
