New Balance 550

The original 550 made its debut in 1989 and made its mark on basketball courts across the country. After its initial run, the 550 disappeared into the archives. In late 2020, however, this sneaker was reintroduced in a limited edition and in 2021 it became part of the permanent lineup, quickly becoming a global fashion favorite. The 550’s low, streamlined silhouette offers a modern take on the heavy-duty designs of the late 1980s, while its durable leather upper is a classic look in any era.
