New Balance Updates the 550 Shoe with a Marblehead Colorway

— September 6, 2022 — Lifestyle
New Balance continues to add more tonal iterations of the iconic 550 sneaker model to its roster with the Marblehead colorway to join this season. The shoe is decorated with hues of white and grey across the silhouette as it blends together both smooth and perforated leather details.

Padded mesh is applied to the collar sections and grey is detailing the shoe in light and dark tones in order to create a marbled look. It also features branding accents in the form of the 550 and N logo outlines along the lateral side of the shoe. To round out the design are the basketball logos that detail the tongue tabs, the white midsoles, and dual tonal rubber outsoles.
