Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance T500 "White / Green": Review & On-Feet

Aimé Leon Dore brought back a 1982 tennis sneaker from New Balance - the T500. Releasing as part of the brand's Fall / Winter 2023 lineup, they dropped in three colourways. Today, I'll be reviewing my fave of the three, the "White / Green" pair, that features quality leather uppers and vintage colour blocking atop a classic, clean, silhouette design. Check out my review to learn all you need to know about this model!

Hey Sean I know u do a lot of sneaker reviews, but I'd love to see a tour of your wardrobe collection. Idk if it'd be too much but I feel like you got mad style

[@SeanGo]

hahah really? I think i dress like ass but thanks 😂❤️

[@nikks1371]

@@SeanGo Nah bro gotta have confidence, I'm sure your drippy as hell

[@LJS1610]

Hi Sean! Love your vids as always! Keen to hear from you more about the in everyday Move insole. How high is it on the front part? Would it make AJ1 significantly tighter at the front?

[@freshtodeath88]

@@SeanGo That’s true but it seems like you step up your game in the past 5-7 videos. I would love to see more of your wardrobe. It’s an untapped niche on KZbin. The shoe definitely looks long and personally don’t like flat shoes

[@davidharris9203]

Drop links on some of the relaxed trousers

[@SCRandall]

I'm so glad ALD brought these back, these look super nice! I wish New Balance would bring these back as GRs, would love to see more colorways (I think a tan/brown would go crazy).

[@chaechaerro]

These are kinda growing on me as a sleeker alternative to the 550. I really like the role ALD has played in bringing back older NB silhouettes..

[@eyepatchpanda]

Great review! Hit all the important points I needed. Luckily scored a black and white one. Thank you

[@whaiyun]

Thanks for buying and reviewing! I was on the fence on these but your review helped me decide to just save my money. Need ALD to do more MiUSA releases.

[@konradmaerzluft985]

Picked up the white and black and the white and green ones at ALD this past weekend. Super nice!!

[@theogpop]

These are very minimalist and clean. I love the retro appeal and look. Just like your videos, Aime Leon Dore never disappoints. Great review as always and thanks for sharing the insoles. I've been considering some new ones.

[@SeanGo]

👊👊👊👊

[@sneakerjunki3]

you make me want to get these, Sean!

[@lyonl.snitchey5203]

I like the minimalist look of those, and the green is my favorite. Awesome review!

[@SeanGo]

Thanks so much!

[@drjamesclinichk]

Thank you, Sean. Excellent review. I choose the same size as my 550, 990v3, 990v5.

[@NitrroO]

This color of box is clean and like clean color way your can use in every day 🙌

[@lancemoore8687]

Grabbed the black ones. A beautiful simple shoe that I’m able to wear to the office. ALD continues to kill the NB game.

[@Mr.O_Himself]

Sean this is a great review FYI. Your content and visuals are exceptional as usual. I'll just hop off my soapbox, by another pair of Reebok Club C's and go about my day. 😅😅

[@SeanGo]

👊👊👊

[@tedchao456]

Sean, nice reviews as always. I see your collection moving closer and closer to the camera lol

[@SeanGo]

lmfao

[@Ray03595]

I like the red ones a lot but won't go well with my wardrobe. Green looks the most versatile, that also stands out a bit but not too much. Been looking for a simple sneaker that is slimmer so might grab

[@irasoul2023]

Kinda remind me of the Stan Smith shoe they look comfortable and New Balance got some styles of shoes

[@Khaszar]

I've only got a 997H for reference. Would you say these are the same sizing? TIA

[@nerdbamarich2063]

Very dope

[@JRKingdon]

I was waiting on these but the $190+ shipping price point in Canada hurts 😬

[@ppw350Zunit]

These would sell well at J. Crew!!

[@playstopplay]

if they fit a little long for you, do you think the move all day insoles would help take up more space and give you a better fit?

[@SeanGo]

the stock insoles that come with it are already thick so i don’t think the Move insoles would make it any more snug tbh

[@ariliff]

Hope to see some in suede

[@edmondwoon]

I have a strong feeling tennis will make a comeback in the future, will be the next hype trend

[@alexnash2562]

It already is

[@the_33rd]

Any chance you’ll review the New Balance 480 Reynolds redesign?

[@beerye6666]

Yes pls....

[@davidku1986]

The box look better than the shoes itself

[@kenanreiss107]

Is this coming to the Europe?

[@MrAnye22]

I’m a size 10 in men’s Nike dunks. Anyone recommend me getting the 10 or 9.5 on these? Thank you!

[@lazeeboi177]

Is it crazy that these look like as if the Stan Smiths and Air Jordan 1 Low OGs had a baby

[@fariseom-ue8jd]

Are these wide or narrow like nike?

[@snarutoster]

Looks clean and nice! But somehow it’s giving me an addidas vibes style though

[@mavolant16]

ald shirt is crazy nice

[@SeanGo]

thanks!

[@WashedWizards]

I really like these. They look like a cross between Adidas Stan Smiths and Air Force 1s

[@thisistotallyfine]

Wished they white out the N logos. Looks more minimal like a pair of Stan Smith.

[@Dantega415]

I’m not mad at these but it’s a pass for me. A shoe I can see better on others than myself. I can always respect a shoe w great quality, that leather looks so good. These are similar to the CT300 we had in store and that shoe did numbers for us. I wasn’t mad at those either

[@user-wp1jy7ci5k]

Love this model! Ran a 1/2 size bigger. I have an unworn size US 10 I’m selling.

[@ritchiesarabia55]

Still selling?

[@user-wp1jy7ci5k]

Yes I am

[@nianguyen5269]

It’s bad enough they put in a synthetic leather tongue, but a synthetic leather lined ankle collar is such a bad idea. Hate when shoe companies do this thinking it elevates the shoe. It just makes it less comfortable, less breathable and creates lots of heel slippage.

[@Sutlore007]

It would look better to my eyes, if they use smooth leather on the side green logo

[@thehighdiveSD]

1. Red 2. Green 3. Black For me 😅

[@fariseom-ue8jd]

Are these wide or narrow? True to size or uncomfortable?

[@SeanGo]

all your questions are addressed in the video lol

[@michaelrobinson9296]

Clean but I prefer the 550

[@DADA01200]

Its like NB 480?

[@SeanGo]

sorta

[@gabrielbuatois6951]

Do you guys think this shoe will sell out in green?

[@mariolopez3068]

Cannot wait to have my pair with me 🤍🖤😬

[@user-my8eb2kf1d]

Bro, can u review varity of non pig skin new balance. Cheers🇲🇾

[@Turtlemilk]

Sup with the hair cut / style ??

[@SeanGo]

?

[@fpar2189]

Does it contain pigskin?

[@MrAmazingasian16]

These should’ve been $100

[@LeezyLazy]

these or the homer simpson stan smiths???

[@SeanGo]

These

[@graysonbrown9778]

These have classic appeal, but no thanks. I’ll stick to my GSMs.

[@flimgenco]

Is it just me or is this getting lazy? Same colors, just better materials than the GR.

[@xenith8762]

whats GR?

[@glassjar7814]

Decent model. Not worth the price at all. Tbh this is a $100 sneaker at most. Doubt the leather is anything different from the ALD 550’s which wasn’t anything special

[@alborzmont2860]

Looks like nike copied jordan 1 from this shoes lol

[@Mr.O_Himself]

As much as I understand, every collaboration can't be innovative this is just horrible. The creative process must've taken minutes. Pick a lifestyle friendly silhouette from the vault, make it with an aged/sail finish and pick one color. Oh and slap our name or logo on it too please. They already make a 574 that's super similar to this. It's borderline insulting. This and that recent JFG collaboration are just LAZY!!!

[@skaijuice3714]

YET we have JJJJJJJJJound drops that gets more hype and Reception. This is just oxymoronic to mention.

[@Mr.O_Himself]

Fair enough perspective. I guess I'm bored with the collaborations that rely on their design language being a 1% change. Jjjjjjound doesn't get a pass, and the hype they receive isn't credible. I guess my gripe is with consumers not demanding more so that designers would actually produce something of actual art, value, and innovation.

[@KMcirca82]

lazy for a collaboration

[@sneakerjunki3]

you make me want to get these, Sean!
