New Balance 550

The original 550 debuted in 1989 and left its mark on basketball courts from coast to coast. After its initial run, the 550 sat in the archives before being reintroduced in limited releases in late 2020 and making a full-fledged comeback in 2021, quickly becoming a fashion favorite. The 550’s low, streamlined silhouette offers a clean take on the heavyweight designs of the late ’80s, while the rugged leather, synthetic and mesh upper construction is a classic for any era.
