References: newbalance & hypebeast
New Balance delivers a clean and minimal tonal palette to its highly sought-after shoe -- the 550 sneakers. The lifestyle sneaker gets a makeover of white and grey throughout the entire silhouette this time around. It is constructed with a blend of white smooth leather and perforated white leather at the base foundation for a breathable, yet premium feel.
It is then detailed with mesh materials at the collars and tongue units. Branding details can be found in the form of '550' and the iconic N logo in grey seen on the lateral side of the shoe. The heel marks 'NB" printed on top in the same tonal grey and the tongue tab features the basketball emblem as a nod to its roots.
