Jovani Hernandez If you’re familiar with the “History of the New Balance 550,” you know that the silhouette spent more than 30 years in the archives. Since late 2020, however, the Steven Smith design has emerged in dozens of styles for all preferences, with the latest favoring a clean white and beige outfit.
Old school leather uppers favor an off white color that harkens back to the late 1980s. Branding on the sidewalls and accents underneath the collar interrupt the uniform with their cream finish. Unlike other pairs of New Balance‘s outdated basketball sneaker, the upcoming style abandons exposed mesh across the upper’s base. Instead, the all-leather build delivers a premium experience, especially to those looking to put some heavy wear onto the shoes. Underfoot, the New Balance 550‘s sole unit keeps things simple as well, rounding out the understated look with beige traction.
Enjoy detailed photos of the pair ahead. A firm newbalance.com release date is unknown, but that’s likely to change as summer inches closer.
