Sleek Minimal Lifestyle Sneakers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

New Balance Launches a 550 Sneaker Sea Salt Colorway Model

— August 16, 2022 — Lifestyle
New Balance introduces the new Sea Salt colorway to join its roster, seen adorning the signature 550 sneaker model this season. It starts with a premium pig suede material in terms of the construction, marking the toe box as soft leather material that makes up the rest of the upper.

The tonal shades spotlight off-white along with white to cover the entire silhouette and detailing as well. Branding is informed in the same tonal shades for a minimal look including the N on the lateral side of the shoe and the medial side as well. The NB logo on the heel and other details including the 550 accents are done in white and silver to round it all out.
