Originating in 1989 as a b-ball silhouette and subsequently brought back in 2020, the New Balance 550 is back and better than ever after decades out of the spotlight. Maintaining the old-school aesthetic, the shoe now arrives with uppers of suede and leather, which are perforated for fresh breathability. Timeless colour-blocking gives this one a retro feel, and 'N' branding identifies heritage on the sidewalls. This basketball-turned-lifestyle trainer is completed with a cushioned midsole and traction-enhancing rubber outsole.
