Re-introducing a basketball legend. The return of the 550 pays tribute to the 1989 original that defined a hoops generation. Originally worn by pro ballers in the ’80s and ’90s, the new 550 is simple, clean and true to its legacy. Features Premium leather upper Lace-up closure for a secure fit Classic '80s style The New Balance 550 ‘White Team Royal’ reintroduces the vintage ‘80s hoops shoe initially resurrected through an Aime Leon Dore collaboration in October 2020. While the joint venture accentuated the low-top’s throwback aesthetic with an aged off-white finish, this pair makes use of crisp white leather construction throughout the upper. Royal blue accents provide contrasting pops of color, including a raised ‘N’ logo and breathable mesh collar.
