Making its debut on the courts in '89, the New Balance 550 silhouette is a simple and streamlined silhouette that extends past its hardwood origins. Chartered in a monochrome paint-up, crisp white leather informs the uppers, joining its black counterparts for a premium feel. Perforations praise the sidewalls delivering a breezy comfort feel, while branded hits signal heritage. To finish, an Orthalite midsole and rubber outsole below offer traction in every stride. | BB550HA1, Leather & Textile Upper/Synthetic Sole.
