For growing feet, choose the classic 550 for kids. The original 550 was released in 1989 and left its mark on basketball courts across the country. After its initial run, the 550 was filed away in the archives before being reintroduced as a limited edition in late 2020. It returned to the regular lineup in 2021 and quickly became a global fashion favorite. The 550's low, streamlined silhouette is a clear nod to the rugged design of the late '80s, while the durable synthetic leather upper is a classic look for any era.
