Jovani Hernandez Although the sneaker space continues to introduce innovation, silhouettes from the 1980s have a stronghold on countless footwear rotations. Case in point?: The New Balance 550, which recently released in a “Sea Salt” and “Marine Blue” mix.
Akin to some previously-surfaced styles for fall and winter, the latest take on Steven Smith’s design from 1989 features suede material across the upper. Base layers take on a breathable mesh build that speaks to the sneaker’s performance heritage. Branding in supporting accents throughout the top-half take on vibrant blue, pink, and yellow colors that contrast their “Sea Salt” surroundings. Underfoot, New Balance gives the low-top silhouette an off white midsole and speckled gum brown outsole, doubling down on the sneaker’s casual appeal.
